Chuck Johnson

Chuck Johnson was born in New York in 1941. He lived as a small child in Springfield, Massachusetts and then Southern California. Although an athlete as a young man playing with the Chicago Cubs farm team, he has had a love for photography since he was nine years old.

After leaving the Cubs organization he attended Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California. Upon graduation he moved to Hemet, California where he owned and operated a photography studio for over 30 years. He did all types of photography, but his passion has always been fine art.

He did his first one-man show at Mt. San Jacinto College in 1990. After leaving the photography business and owning and operating a winery in the Temecula Valley, he is now devoting his time to his love of fine art photography.

The very heart of his work shows his deep love for God. He has a sense of wonder and love for the beauty God has created, which shows in all of his photographs of sometimes the very simplest of subjects. With his use of the computer to enhance his work he is now producing Giclée prints in both black and white and color.
