Canadian photographer Oz John Tekson resides in Berlin.

He comes from an art director education and work background with 14 years professional experience in the industry. Compared to conventional photographers, this gives him a slightly different vantage point, from visualisation, production to post-production. Therefore, he is a detail-oriented, noticeably technical and conceptual photographer.

Oz John has created images for online and print media in Canada, the USA, and Europe. He has produced work for more than 70 publications, including Vanity Fair and Vogue Italia. He is known for his work that is conceptual and welcomes subtle humour and little surprises.

Besides his professional occupation, Oz John is also an academic with a PhD in visual communication. He has taught design and photography related courses in several Canadian and European universities. He has a mixed ethnicity (Italian, Spanish, Greek, Cirkassian, etc.) and more mixed cultural and educational background. He is able to communicate in four languages.
