Artistas del Lago de Chapala

Hunter Johnson
Fine art photographer
Hunter Johnson is an accomplished, award-winning fine art photographer
showing regularly in galleries and museums across the US, Mexico, and
Europe with images in a number of private collections. His photography
comes out of his training and work as an architect and as a sociologist; both
create a combined vision of how individuals and society interact with our built
and natural environments, an ecology of our culture. Hunter made his first trip
to Mexico while still a student and continues to love capturing his adopted
home. Hunter was awarded the prestigious Licentiate distinction of the Royal
Photographic Society in the United Kingdom in July of 2021.
Photography is often a solo activity, and Hunter enjoys working with other
artists and photographers to share knowledge and support the arts. These
include the Artists of Lake Chapala, Palm Springs Art Museum Artists Council,
Fugawi Photography, and the Palm Springs Art Commission. He served as
an official photographer for the Feria Maestros del Artes for three years and
beginning in 2023 he has been a leader for the Programa Fotografia Juvanil
sharing his love of photography with local teenagers.
In addition to his wandering street photography, he has produced a number of
cohesive series of 15-20 images exploring various subjects…Injuries of Time,
Architectural Minimalism, Ajijic at Night and, Noir Rhapsody.
Describing his work, Hunter says: As an artist, I approach the world as a
flâneur, looking for images that are intuitive and of the moment…if my
photographs were words, I would like them to be haikus.
