Meet Johnny Fogg
I’ve been photographing weddings for over a decade, and working around cameras my whole adult life. Being present for, and documenting, one of the most memorable days of someone’s life is a privilege that I don’t take lightly, and I love the feeling of having just made an image that will be looked at for a lifetime.
Questions have been at the root of my artwork since I began to photograph. They have taken me everywhere: What is the difference between waiting and standing or sitting? What if for everything you took in, you gave something away? I want my pictures to be asking, not so much in a search for answers, more a fascination with the process of understanding.
How much of someone is caught in a portrait, and are they distilled or stretched in the process? Which do you prefer, to inhale or to exhale, or is it the space between breaths that gets your attention? What is a photograph of grace?
Using photography, we are able to hold onto moments of serenity.
There is a moment just before a question forms into words.
I want to see it.
Why Me?
For the Love of Ceremony
As a student and teacher of traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, I’m in love with ritual, ceremony, and singular experiences. Weddings are a delight in that everyone is there for the two of you, and making images of that community and connection, for me, is a joy.
Commercial Background
For 20 years I’ve worked in the commercial and editorial photography world, I understand beautiful image making, and the attention and focus required to make images that you want to keep looking at.
Forget about the Camera
Throughout my career in this industry, the photographers that I have admired the most are the ones who you look at the same way whether they’re holding a camera up to their face or not.
