John Sexton is an American fine art photographer who specializes in black and white traditional analog photography.
His work is in numerous permanent collections and exhibitions, and he has been the subject of many articles in the photographic press.
[2] Sexton's process consists of large-format 4x5 photography and black and white silver gelatin prints.
[3] Like his mentor Ansel Adams, his prints are characterized by great tonal quality resulting from his darkroom virtuosity - Sexton provides abundant technical notes in his books.
Most of Sexton's subjects are the natural world, however, unlike Adams, he is more interested in intimate scenes than wide or dramatic vistas, and often photographs them in long exposures made in the "quiet" light of dusk.
