An EU citizen based in New York City, John-Francis photographs life-based advertising. A fan of the spoken word and cinema, Bourke has been documenting life since his early days at boarding school. His personal work is photojournalism based, mostly focused on the complexities of interpersonal human relationships. This material takes shape as linear stories and experiences, most of it produced between one moment and another while traveling or on assignment worldwide. Ideally where personal work and commissioned assignment overlap is what interests him most, assignment work with an element of the human condition.
