“because John Pepper’s photographs possess an evocative charm reminiscent of the great reportages of old, in black and white, packed with realism while at the same time being ringed by a poetic, almost epochal halo. Pepper’s images – who during his artistic journey was influenced by his war correspondent father, and photographers Ugo Mulas and Henri Cartier Bresson – portray places and individuals without filters, showing the intrinsic imperfections of human beings and the world in which they live and work - -and it is because of this that they feel so real and timeless. John Pepper is a 360-degree artist, whose significant experience in the world of cinema, as well as theatre, adds a touch of neorealism to his photography” - Professor Emmanuele F.M. Emanuele, President of the Fondazione Terzo Pilastro – Italy and Mediterranean.
