John Stoddart is known as the Photographer to the Stars, recognized as one of the world’s most renowned photographers. Born in the United Kingdom, his work includes photographing glamorous celebrities such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, Sir Anthony Hopkins, to big-name bands such as The Rolling Stones. By the early 1980s, Stoddart had photographed every major record label band, establishing himself as one of the world’s great celebrities and also boudoir photographers. A notoriously fast photographer, he has a preference for working with film as opposed to digital. His passion for photography carries over to the complete printing process and also includes his collection of a beautiful, era gone by cameras. He is not just a photographer; he is an artist. He has worked for major publications and brands that included Vogue, Harper’s, EMI and Virgin and is often credited for the return of glamour to popular culture. Stoddart has exhibited worldwide, including galleries in London and Paris. The Sofitel Hotel, Beverly Hills in 2017, held an A list invitation-only exhibition and has continued to use his celebrity images as framed art throughout the hotel.
