Born in Columbia, South Carolina in 1997 and based out of Brooklyn, New York, Ethan Johnson (he/him) has been making work since 2017. With a photographic style largely influenced by his usage of large and medium format cameras, much of Ethan’s recent work has been made digitally. He is pursuing a career in conflict photojournalism.

His artistic work focuses on topics such as gender identity, sexuality, self-discovery, and the fragility of modern masculinity. Ethan takes inspiration from the natural world and artists such as David Hilliard, Claude Monet, Laura McPhee, Barbara Bosworth, An-My Lê, and space exploration.

Ethan received his BFA Photography and BFA History of Art at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Ethan has been included in group exhibitions nationally, at the Pantopticon Gallery in Boston, and online at Castleton Galleries at Castleton University in Vermont as well as others.
