ABOUT

Jason Johnson is a Detroit-born self taught visual artist whose work spans both photography and painting, with a focus on creating timeless, iconic imagery. Beginning his creative journey as a painter, he eventually found his artistic home behind the lens, where for the past several years, he has specialized in fashion photography marked by bold color, striking composition, and an unmistakable sense of grandeur.

Blending drama, elegance, and creativity, his photographic style aims to elevate every subject crafting editorial narratives or whimsical portraits that feel both deeply personal and visually arresting. His ultimate goal: to capture clients in a way that feels unforgettable, creating images that resonate across time.

Drawing inspiration from his photography, he often reimagines selected images as oil paintings, extending the life of each moment through traditional fine art. His muses are inherently Afrocentric celebrating Black identity, beauty, and complexity.
