Lucy Johns, Teacher of Darkroom Photography and Fine Art Photographer.
My photographs are recordings of the everyday. They are of strangers, still lives, subjects within the landscape, objects and people that have made a mark on my existence. I like to arrange, observe and contemplate subjects inside and outside of the frame. I’m concerned for and have a great appreciation of the environment and our natural world.
I graduated from Bournemouth Arts University in 2011 with a 2:1 BA degree in Photography. My practice was centered around the ownership and qualities of antique 'found' photographs. I went on to explore their surface histories and appropriated them.
I was offered the job as Teacher of Photography at Rickmansworth School soon after graduating and have been teaching GCSE and A Level Photography in the Darkroom ever since.
