The Pacific Northwest of America has often been thought of as a remote outpost, far removed from the country’s cultural centres. But perhaps its geographic location fosters a sense of rugged individualism that has been a catalyst for the region; it increasingly pulsates with vibrant creative energy from tech and innovation to architecture, design, and fashion. And the same is true with contemporary photographic practice.
Latitude 47 was launched in an effort to highlight this energy as an annual publication produced by Photographic Center Northwest (PCNW), featuring artists in the region whose photographic work deserves visibility far and wide. Issue one has selected four individuals of a variety of ages, educational backgrounds, and visual approaches. While set up with no central theme in mind, it quickly became clear that each photographer has a strong relationship with landscape and the elemental world.

Employing various modes of presentation from photobooks to experiential photo and sound-based installation, Johnson’s photographic projects explore the marks and connections formed in the friction of this complicated relationship. Johnson received his BFA and BA from the University of Washington, Seattle, WA in 1997 and his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2003.
