Photographer Lynn Johnson on outrage and the power of photography

10 Apr

For more than 40 years, photographer Lynn Johnson has turned her lens on hidden and at-risk communities all over the world. In this video she explains how a grant from Sony helped her to complete a long-term project with non-profit Ripple Effect Images in Cambodia, focusing on the effects of drug-resistant TB.

Lynn spent time with two healthcare workers, working in remote Cambodian villages

Somewhere in the world, it is estimated that someone dies of TB every 20 seconds. During the course of the project, Lynn spent time with two healthcare workers in remote Cambodian villages. The resulting collection of photographs has been made available to other non-profits working on behalf of women and children around the world.

In this interview, Lynn explains why outrage is such a strong motivating force, and how as a photographer, she still gets excited by the power of images to form a bridge between people and communities. You can see more images from her portfolio below.

The power of a photograph: Lynette Johnson and Soulumination

17 Jan

In 2005, wedding and portrait photographer Lynette Johnson founded an organization that would have a profound impact on over 1,400 families. Celebrating its 10th year, Soulumination is a non-profit that provides free professional photography sessions for individuals and families facing truly devastating circumstances – the loss of a child (or a parent with young children) to terminal illness. Now with almost 50 volunteer photographers, Soulumination provides a loving remembrance to comfort families and loved ones through extremely difficult times. 

In her PIX 2015 talk, Johnson discusses her work founding and growing Soulumination. She’s also joined by ‘Soul Mom’ Debbie, who brings a heartfelt perspective on just how important it is to have photographs that celebrate the life of a loved one. Lynette and Debbie give a moving talk, one that really illuminates how priceless a photograph can be.

Watch the talk and visit Soulumination’s website to learn more about their mission. The organization is currently running a ten-week campaign celebrating its ten years, hoping to raise $ 100,000 to continue helping families.
