John Tozer
Profile
John set up ImagInsight as a family portrait photography business in 2003. It operates from a shared studio established by John at the Clifton Hill Photographic Studio in 2008 with image processing and general business functions at 270 McKean Street, Fitzroy North. The business is based on a significant ongoing investment in the latest high end digital equipment and software. More details are available on his web site:

John graduated from the International College of Commercial Photography in South Melbourne in 2003 after an extensive career in accounting and information technology, culminating in eleven years as a management consulting partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the world’s largest professional services organization.
John is an Associate Member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) and an active participant in its professional development program. In 2006 he also became an Associate of the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography (NZIPP). These appointments are based on annual portfolio assessments by senior peers within the photographic industry. His national awards to date are:
- 2005 AIPP – 3 silver awards
- 2006 AIPP – 3 silver awards
- 2006 NZIPP – 10 bronze awards
- 2007 AIPP – 3 silver awards
- 2007 NZIPP – 3 bronze awards
The photographic business has spread into the corporate sector to embrace executive portraiture, annual reports, events and products, where his extensive business management and consulting experience add value to assignments beyond the basic capture of the image.
The latest extension of John’s new career is into photographic art. His first solo exhibition entitled “China: beyond the icons” ran over the 2007 Chinese New Year period at the Chinese Museum in Melbourne.
Outside of photography John bike rides (100km per week), plays golf (not so well), cooks, ponders the odd glass of red, and is a member of the Rotary Club of Melbourne (Australia’s oldest and largest) where he is, of course, the Club photographer. Through his photos from a Club trip to East Timor in 2008 he has designed a 2009 Calendar which has sold over 750 copies – net procedes to Club East Timor projects.
