Welcome to the photography of Stan Johnson, a photographer with more than 35 years of professional
experience. This site highlights just some examples of Stan's professional, personal, experimental and fun
photography.
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 film 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.
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.
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 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 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.
Stan now lives in Amsterdam, NY and travels throughout the capital region and upstate New York for
photographic adventures.
Look on this site in the future for examples of Stan's images.
