About

I’m John Magnoski, a modern day renaissance man that loves to photograph architecture, people, industry and the natural world.  I specialize in capturing exquisite imagery for architects and interior designers, engineering and construction firms, luxury real estate companies, industrial clients, and creative agencies.

Based just north-east of Minneapolis and St. Paul, you will often find me spending my free time with my beautiful wife and our nine adventurous children (yes, 9).  We enjoy exploring the outdoors, going to church, eating quality pizza, and playing around our little hobby farm.

With over 20 years of experience, I employ a unique blend of photographic disciplines and my natural method of capturing light and detail in the work I create. The resulting imagery is honest and distinct - with a clean, warm and tangible quality.

Testimonials

Alliiance has increasingly partnered with John to artfully capture the essence of our projects. John’s work is very strong compositionally and is typified by his sophisticated use of color and texture, appropriate to the character of each project. Aside from the technical and artistic merits of his photography, he is fundamentally easy to work with and quickly hones in on the “big picture” message we are trying to convey in each project. Our design leaders frequently accompany John during the shoots to assist with staging and strategy. Not only is he pleasant and efficient to work with on-site, he exemplifies the values of collaboration and excellence Alliiance and Alliiance’s projects are rooted in.

When I joined HGA, we already had relationships in place with multiple photographers. Throughout my first few months in working with John directly, it was clear to see why our company had such a long relationship with him. He is extremely reliable, thoughtful, and professionally diligent. John is easy to work with and a great collaborator when you need a new perspective or idea. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with him and truly appreciate his artistic sensibility and direction.

It was a pleasure working with John for Explore Alexandria’s photography needs. He has a thorough process from beginning to end to ensure all our needs were met, and identified great additional shots onsite…like a true pro!
— James Feist, Executive Director // Explore Alexandria Tourism
I was very fortunate to have hired John as a photographer for my client, who was seeking to enhance and elevate imagery of their investment portfolio. John’s exceptional attention to detail and artful eye produced incredible photography. As well, he was professional, hard-working, and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely with work John again and recommend his photography services to anyone looking.

Our company chose John to shoot bio shots of our full team and it was the right decision. Johns patience upfront describing the process and then guiding us through the shoot gave us a great level of comfort. During the day John was able to comfortably capture all ten of my team members in an impressive black and white style that was exactly what we were after. Along with the bio pics we had John stick around and shoot some creative images of our team going about our daily routine. John blended right in and was not a disruption to keeping our workflow moving. Our expectations were exceeded as he was able to capture some truly unique and creative moments throughout the day. In the end, we now have an amazing library of images that we have put to use in our print marketing material and social media platforms. As our team and office space evolve we will definitely be reaching back out John. Until then we highly recommend.
