About: Our Founder
John D. Russell is a professional photographer based in Redondo Beach, CA. He is a best selling author and photography adventure guide.
His love for photography began in the darkroom in 1991. He has been shooting professionally since 2006. His work has taken him to over 33 countries and he's worked with nonprofits around the globe.
Due to his experience working and shooting with nonprofits, in 2018, the Los Angeles Center of Photography hired John to create a curriculum and teach a 6-month course that focused on Social Justice Photography.
Wanting to reach more photographers and make an even bigger impact, John created www.photographyforsocialchange.com in 2023.
