Image Maker | Explorer | Storyteller

Most of his working life he was a sought-after public speaker and a globally recognized educational technologist and futurist, roles that took him to more than 125 countries and every continent but Antarctica.

From the time he got his first camera as a teenager, Johnson has maintained a strong creative interest in photography. Fortunately, for him, his role as a public speaker provided him with an endless stream of new places and people to photograph, and new stories to tell.

Over the years, his interests in the various aspects of photography evolved, and he found himself working with some incredible mentors, such as Bill Frakes, of Sports Illustrated fame, and storytellers and visual artists like Daniel Cox, Bill Allred and Jody Cobb of the National Geographic, to fashion and art photographers like Jarmo Pohjaniemi, Aleš Bravničar, Josh Ryan and Lindsay Adler. These influences made an indelible impact on every way in which he approaches a shoot and helped to shape his unique style and visual sensibilities, across a wide range of subjects, including wildlife, travel, sports, storytelling, and ultimately, fashion and beauty.

Along the way, he has provided still and video production services for dozens of high profile customers and collaborators, including the OECD, UNESCO, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Dell, and Microsoft, as well as dozens of major publications including Maxim, Sports Illustrated, National Geographic, Playboy, Afar, Greenwich People, and many more.

Among the many destinations and locations his work has taken him to in the last few years are Bali, Santorini, the Bahamas, Dubai, Shanghai, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, along with recurring reasons to be in NYC, Miami, and LA.

In the last several years, Johnson has shifted his professional focus to fashion and beauty exclusively, with a strong editorial component. His work is described as bold, colorful, and dynamic.
