John Vanderpant was a major influence on Canadian photography in the 1920s and 1930s. He established a distinctive style that emphasized light and form, and generally shunned popular manipulative processes. After working as a photojournalist for a Dutch magazine, he came to Canada in 1911. He opened a studio in Okotoks, Alberta, and then moved to British Columbia after World War II, eventually settling in Vancouver where he set up a commercial portrait studio. He began exhibiting in international salons, quickly achieving acclaim and winning awards around the world. His solo exhibitions toured the US, Great Britain and Europe. He was a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, and also wrote and lectured widely. Vanderpant and Harold Mortimer-Lamb together opened Vanderpant Galleries in 1926, which soon after became a centre for music, poetry and painting. Vanderpant practiced photography primarily on the west coast, however a few images exist from his time spent in New York City, as well as in Quebec. His prints are quite rare; few copies of most of his images are known to exist.
