John Mazlish

My artistic passion involves revealing the unique beauty found in the most simple moments and places. I often see in a painterly way, having inherited an acute awareness of color, shape, mood and light from my beloved mother, who was a renaissance woman of many talents.

I began my creative career as a musician, playing guitar and singing in local pubs, as well as booking and hosting an original music showcase. The moment I picked up my first camera, I intuitively felt a connection between music and photography. For me, creativity originates from one inner source, yet the expression of that creative energy can take many forms.

Photographing NYC musicians was a natural starting point for my career. Eventually I expanded my work to include shooting a wide range of portraiture and events. Regardless of the subject matter, my goal has always been to impart an element of freshness, spontaneity and risk taking to the creative process.

These last years have seen a major shift in my creative focus, to that of fine art photography. I’m a natural born adventurer & explorer, and as such I intuitively seek to reveal unique elements of light, water, beauty and seasonal changes in a variety of environments. My latest passion is shooting fine art nudes.

A love of beauty eventually led me to create my own art gallery, MazlishGallery.com. My goal is to bring positive energy to the art world, and as such the Gallery has given me a platform to treat artists the way that I myself wish to be treated- ie, with respect, integrity, supportiveness and caring.
