Wesley Johnson

Photographer

There is no line between art and science, between creativity and craft—one begets the other, and either is meaningless alone.

Formally educated in the science of art, Wesley Johnson holds degrees in Photography and Cinematography from the most respected institutions on earth in these fields — RIT + AFI. With more than 15 years of professional experience, he is known on several continents as a master image-maker  and storyteller.

Wesley’s passion for light, color, nature, architecture and portraiture infuse every hour of his existence—and all of them at once in VISIONS OF GARDEN LIFE. Collaborating with Jeff Berghoff for the past decade has been among Wesley’s most satisfying experiences. This exhibit is the first step into a world that they plan on exploring together for years to come.
