John Molligo Photographer Cinematographer in Boise, Idaho

Born 1961 in Mineola, NY. I've been taking photographs and making films since elementary school.

I spent the early 1980's in the US Navy as an Electrician's Mate on the USS Hermitage (LSD-34); and, to quell the intense boredom, began taking documentary photos of our operations in Beirut, Morocco, and Cuba (as well as travel photos of Southern Europe and Spain).

Desiring a career as a Photojournalist after my discharge, I first began working in a Professional Photographic Lab. This (coupled with horrible economic times) began a strange and winding path in which I worked as a Newspaper Stringer, Photographer's Assistant in New York City (illustration, fashion, and catalogue work), Commercial Photographer, 16mm Film Camera Operator, Film Editor, Independent Filmmaker, Television MCO and Production Assistant, Audio/Visual Engineer, Photojournalist, and Fine Art Photographer.

I currently shoot medium and large format film for silver gelatin exhibition/gallery prints. I also take occasional commercial assignments and actively seek documentary assignments or projects.
