John Huggins

John Huggins is a photographer based in Los Angeles, California. He’s known for his Polaroid transfer process, in which he expands 4” x 5” polaroid photos by transferring the dyes to larger paper, creating heavily textured images—almost like tapestries. Huggins' work is a meditation on what it means to be American: his subjects are often baseball parks, farmlands, brush fires, surfers in Malibu, and skiers in the Rockies.

Huggins’ work has been exhibited in many galleries and museums like Sears Peyton Gallery, O.K. Harris Gallery, Walter Gomez Gallery, J. Johnson Gallery, David Floria Gallery, the Laguna Art Museum, the Huntington Museum, the California Museum of Photography, the California Center for the Arts Museum, and the Riverside Art Museum. His work is included in public collections like the Denver Art Museum, the University of Maine Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority, and the US Department of State.
