Hi, I’m Nello Johnson, a photographer and photo retoucher with a passion for creating high-end visuals that align with a brand’s identity. I work with studio and natural lighting, strong composition, and confident model direction to produce imagery for commercial, fashion, and beauty campaigns. I also mentor aspiring photographers, teaching Photoshop, Lightroom, and professional retouching, while guiding them on branding and marketing strategies. Beyond photography, I bring a hands-on, build-first mindset from my construction background, which informs my attention to detail, project management, and problem-solving on set. I’m always eager to collaborate with brands and teams to craft compelling narratives and visuals that resonate with audiences.
