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. After graduating high school, Stan served as an
information specialist in the U.S. Army at Fort Knox, KY and Herzogenaurach, West Germany. Following the
military, Stan achieved an Associate of Arts in Communications and Media Arts from Dutchess Community
College in Poughkeepsie, NY and a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from 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).
After leaving journalism, Stan worked for several years in microfilm-processing labs before beginning a
career as 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, McGrath/Character Arts Studio of Saratoga Springs,
NY and McGrath/Hallmark Images of Turner's Falls, MA. 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.
Stan has photographed with 35mm, medium format and 70mm film cameras and now uses Canon digital
equipment.
Stan's interest in photogaphy education has continued with the Professional Photogaphers Society of New
York, the Schenectady Photographic Society, 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 resulted in 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. This has been
partly because the concentration required in photography can take away from the enjoyment of the music,
but mainly because photography is often limited or prohibited.
Lately, Stan has been dabbling using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet to combine comic-book style
illustration, another interest from his youth, with photography. Stan is experimenting with images that are
neither exactly photography nor illustration, but a bit of both.
Look on this site in the future for examples of Stan's images.
