Senior Specialist
John Stoddart was born in Liverpool; self-taught, he has been a sought-after photographer for more than twenty-five years. Since the early 1980s John photographed many of the most famous faces, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Anthony Hopkins, Pierce Brosnan and Catherine Zeta-Jones. He has published four photography books, two of which explore the elusive world of fame. His work has been exhibited in several galleries and museums world-wide, including The Vault Gallery in Hollywood and La Galleria Pall Mall, London. He has had numerous solo exhibitions, and has worked for nearly every magazine in the UK and internationally, including Vanity Fair, Harper's Bazaar, The New York Times and Vogue.
In 1995, Stoddart was commissioned by Eon to shoot a poster for the movie Goldeneye, which was Brosnan's first outing as James Bond. Stoddart recalls; 'As the session was underway, the ladies whispered in my ear, "John, let us know when you're on your last roll, we want a bit of fun with our man Bond!" So I did... and they did!'
