John Valle (or simply "JV") is a North Carolina based documentary style photographer, and 3D modeler. As a fine artist, John examines America's industrial heritage primarily through abandoned and preserved architecture, historic machinery, and railroads. He draws inspiration from various Depression Era photographers like Walker Evans and Jack Delano, and takes pride in photographing subjects in a clear, direct manner. But when he's not photographing, John spends some of his time with other visual mediums like painting, videography and 3D modeling. ​​
