J. S. Wolf Photography

Hi! I am John Souza!

I go by J. S. Wolf for my photography name. I am a photographer based out of Rhode Island. Writing a bio about myself is kind of weird but here it goes. I went away to college in Florida at St. Leo University where I received my bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. Once I graduated I joined the Marine Corps. Fortunately, I am now finished with my 5 years of service and finished law school in 2019. I currently live in Western Rhode Island.

My interest in photography began when I was in college. This is when I got my first camera that I consider pretty good, a Canon S5IS. After about a year of messing around with regular photos I found an interest in HDR (High Dynamic Range) while looking at Trey Ratcliff’s website www.stuckincustoms.com. I immediately fell in love with the technique he used and knew I had to figure it out. That was when I really dove into photography and started discovering all other aspects of the art. I wanted to learn everything, whether it was portraits, landscapes, or architecture. I didn’t care. It was all photography to me.

I primarily shoot with a Nikon D810 but sometimes you can still see me with my D7000. A more professional camera has further helped me to progress with my skill set because of the possibilities that have opened up with higher ISO capabilities.
