Photography Educator: Eirik Johnson

For nearly two years, I’ve had the privilege of celebrating dedicated and creative photography educators on Lenscratch each month. Every time I receive their responses to my interview questions, I’m heartened by their generosity and commitment. These teachers go above and beyond for their students. Their student work that I feature is a strong testament to the passion with which these teachers teach.

Eirik Johnson is one of those teachers. Although we haven’t met in person, I’ve been a fan of his photographic work for a long time. His images transform the everyday into wonder; they invite me to look twice, get close, step back and hold still. Thank you, Eirik, for the work that you do with students of all ages and for bringing such authentic photographs, books, and immersive experiences into the world. Read more here.
