Louisa Johnson

Heath Bouffard once said, “People look at ordinary stuff all day long, so why not make a picture look extraordinary, and give them something to look at.” This quote exactly defines Johnsons project, she tries to bring the entity of her photos to life and her project consists of photographing the ordinary.  Johnson is constantly challenging perception and trying to make ordinary subjects look extraordinary. Johnson focus’ on ‘unexpected objects’ with stories in them.

Johnson tries to beautify a moment in the everyday. Once you have that moment, you want to beautify that moment as much as you can. Each precise object or condition or combination exhibits a beauty. Johnson focuses on the unexpected and finding the unnoticeable places and objects. My project basically reflects on a journey of everyday life, her photos can come across as “accidental art”.
