The Photography

Introducing his collection of photography and stylized images, Johnson has formed the creative venture, Artful Fotos, with fellow photographer, Dawn James. From local landscapes, historical buildings, portrait photography, sports photography and special events, Johnson and James, both Aynor, South Carolina natives, have created a popular and sought after array of pop art which incorporates photography and mixed media stylings.

The Book

“Be accountable. Be responsible. Be on time. Or better yet, get there at ten ’til. You’ll be all the wiser - and more content!”

This funny, insightful, life-affirming collection uses everyday moments-from the tobacco fields of South Carolina to the red-carpet premieres of Hollywood -to demonstrate the value of showing up early, holding yourself accountable, welcoming change, nourishing others, and being fully present and engaged with life.

The Movie

“Just Pray is a coming of age story involving a young Southern boy who is searching for resolution within his life. The film shares a beautiful and universal message about hope, redemption and salvation: sometimes you find these in the most unexpected people and in the most unexpected places. Directing this film was a gift and provided me the unforgettable opportunity to participate in the magic of storytelling.” Tiffani Thiessen

Reviews: “…Thiessen has captured the theme in an understated and elegant way…Just Pray shows great promise for Thiessen’s future behind the camera…” Michael Janusonis, The Providence Journal
