He studied literature at Amsterdam and Leiden Universities, became a photojournalist with the Dutch publication Op de Hoogte in 1910, and also published some short works of fiction and poetry in a number of literary magazines. In 1911, he married Catherina over de Linden at Haarlem, Holland, and emigrated to Canada. The following year he lectured in the Netherlands on behalf of the Canadian government, promoting immigration to Canada. In 1913, Vanderpant settled in Okotoks, Alberta, where he established his first photographic studio. He relocated to British Columbia in 1919, opened a studio in New Westminster in 1924 and eventually established the Vanderpant Galleries with Harold Mortimer-Lamb in Vancouver in 1926, which Vanderpant operated until his death in 1939.
In British Columbia, Vanderpant became an active participant in the Canadian and international artistic communities, organizing and participating in photographic exhibitions, lecturing and publishing essays on art, photography and other subjects and writing poetry. Vanderpant had solo exhibitions with the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain in 1925 and 1928, and was elected Fellow of that organisation in 1926. Other exhibitions include solo tours of Europe in 1925, the United States in 1928, the Netherlands in 1931 and solo exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1932 and 1937. Vanderpant went on a cross-Canada lecture tour for the National Gallery of Canada in 1935 and undertook a lecture tour in Alberta two years later.Additional information:General note:The fonds was received in 1990 from Carina Shelly and Anna Ackroyd, John Vanderpant's daughters.Subject heading:- Photography - Societies, etc., [1913-1939] Women's Canadian Club, n.d
