Johnny J.

For the past six years, I've immersed myself in the dynamic world of professional photography, gaining invaluable experience across various industries. From photojournalism to documentary filmmaking and utility positions, my journey has been rich and diverse. I've delved into a multitude of categories, including concert and event coverage, weddings, portraits, sports, wildlife, and more.

Along the way, I've had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed clients such as Fox Sports, Stained lead singer and independent country artist Aaron Lewis, as well as prestigious organizations like Iowa Women’s Basketball and other Hawkeye Sports. These collaborations have allowed me to hone my craft while delivering exceptional results.

Some of my most notable projects include spearheading the production of a Hulu commercial for the Belin-Blank Center for Talent Development at the University of Iowa, creating compelling documentaries for Kelderman Manufacturing, and contributing to the Skycam utility team for the Iowa vs. Michigan football game in 2022, among others.

In addition to my photo/video endeavors, I've also lent my talents to news organizations, accumulating approximately two years of experience covering breaking stories and current events locally.

Currently, I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Iowa, with an anticipated graduation date in December 2025. This academic pursuit aligns with my passion for storytelling and further enhances my skills as a visual communicator.
