Photographer John Bryan has shown his work throughout Connecticut and New York since 1991. He has won numerous prizes, including two awards from the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts, one each for color and for black and white photography. His work has been reviewed in the Hartford Advocate, Art New England, the Journal Inquirer and the Hartford Courant where he was selected as the "Pick of the Week" for his exhibit "Anti-Aesthetic/Reluctant Models."

"…John Bryan's exhibit masterfully combines Diane Arbus-like snapshots…with original poetry…" Alexis Maislen, Hartford Advocate.

"Bryan is a gifted photographer. He feels equally at home with realism, surrealism, collage, black and white, and color. He reveals a deadpan humor from and a poignant poetic sense permeates his pictures." Steve Starger, Journal Inquirer.

His solo exhibitions include Artworks Gallery, Hartford, CT ("The Dreaming", and "Anti-Aesthetic/Reluctant Models"), Small Space Gallery, New Haven, CT ("Interludes"), Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library, Stony Creek, CT ("Zone of Separation"), Central Connecticut State College, New Britain, CT ("Reluctant Models"), Pump House Gallery, Hartford, CT ("Artifacts & Icons"), York Square Cinema Gallery, New Haven, CT ("Interior/Exterior"), and Trinity College, Hartford, CT ("We Just See Things Differently").
