About

I am the sole proprietor of J. R. Johnston Photography which I started in 2005. I have been in the professional multimedia business since 1996 when I made the transition from amateur to freelance photographer. Since then I have made a career out of capturing moments with a camera and literally painting with light.

Feel free to contact me at any time. For answers to frequently asked questions, I invite you to take a look at my FAQ.

The 1:1 Relationship

The best portraiture comes from the establishment of a friendly working relationship between the photographer and his subject.

It is important, therefore, that the photographer and client have a face-to-face meeting beforehand so details of the shoot may be discussed freely and without restraint. I call it the 1:1 Relationship. This consultation ensures a more productive shoot and more intimate portraits. My faith in the 1:1 Relationship as your photographer is so strong I offer it as a free¹ service to all my clients.

Please contact me when you are ready to discuss your next project.
