Welcome to the photography of Stan Johnson, a photographer with more than 38 years
of professional experience. Here are just some examples of Stan's professional,
personal, experimental and fun photography.
The concerts are more or less chronologically arranged, but that's not always true.
Viewing this site is more like reading a magazine or book than browsing a digital
archive. Kind of a visual blog. Spend some time here and see who and what you find.
Someday the thing will be alphabetized; just not yet.
You can start with this brief biography or click on a page in the list to the right.
Stan Johnson began taking pictures as a youth in upstate New York and developed an
interest in journalism while working as a carrier for his hometown newspaper. Stan
served as an information specialist in the U.S. Army at Fort Knox, KY and
Herzogenaurach, West Germany. Following the military, Stan graduated from Dutchess
Community College in Poughkeepsie, NY and the University of South Carolina in
Columbia, SC.
Stan worked for several years as a journalist and photographer for newspapers
including Inside the Turret (Fort Knox, KY), The Gamecock, the Vetletter and the
Beaufort Gazzette (all while at the University of South Carolina), The Lancaster News
(Lancaster, SC) and The Courier-Standard-Enterprise (Fort Plain, NY). Stan also
contributed stories and photos to magazines including Castle Rock (the Stephen King
newsletter in Bangor, ME) and The Buzz (a music magazine in Albany, NY).
Stan then worked for several years in film labs before becoming a school, wedding,
sports and event photographer for various companies, including Ramark-Varden
Studios of Albany and Schenectady, NY, Lauren Studios of Albany, NY, Artist Image
Studio of Coconut Creek, FL, Lloyd Studio of Boca Raton, FL, Character Arts Studio of
Saratoga Springs, NY, McGrath & Hallmark Images of Turner's Falls, MA., and
Whitchurch Photography of Schenectady, NY. Currently, Stan works for Carlyn Studios
of Schenectady, NY.
Stan's work has taken him to elementary and high schools, colleges and universities
throughout the eastern United States from Maine to Florida, where he has
photographed thousands of students since 1987. The photography has included
portraits of college and high school seniors, elementary school underclass, class
groups, sports teams and action, proms, family portraits and corporate events. During
this time Stan also photographed more than 300 weddings.
Recently Stan returned to journalism by writing and taking pictures for two arts and
entertainment websites: Nippertown.com and Vintagerock.com. Find the latest examples
of Stan's concert photography and writing at these sites.
During his career, Stan photographed with 35mm, medium format and 70mm film
cameras and processed black & white and color negative and slide film. He also printed
most of his own black & white prints. Since his conversion to digital technology, Stan
now uses digital cameras, both Canon and Nikon, and edits images using computer
programs including Photoshop.
Stan has continued his education with the Professional Photogaphers' Society of New
York, the Schenectady Photographic Society, the Amsterdam Photo Club and the Palm
Beach Photographic Center in Del Rey Beach, FL, where Stan volunteered as
workshop teaching assistant.
Stan's interest in music began with seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, an event which
eventually resulted in his playing bass for fun in bands, open mic and jam sessions. At
some point Stan also began photographing musicians, although he has only
photographed a fraction of the concerts he has attended.
Lately, Stan has been using a Wacom pen & tablet to combine comic-book style
illustration with photography. Stan is experimenting with images that are neither exactly
photography nor illustration, but a bit of both.
Stan now lives in the Mohawk River Valley and travels throughout the capital region and
upstate New York for photographic adventures.
This site will be updated as frequently as Stan can make the time and as long as he
can get in to shows with his camera.
To contact Stan, email: stan@stanjohnsonpix.com.
Brides interested in wedding photography should include the wedding date in their
inquiry.
High school, college and elementary school portrait photography, including yearbook
support, sports, proms and group photography is available by contacting Carlyn Studio
at 518-372-4500.
