For her series “Growing Up Travelling,” Johnson has dedicated herself to documenting the Irish Traveller community—a nomadic ethnic minority living on the margins of Irish society. Moved by their deep family values and cultural resilience, she has returned to Ireland many times to photograph Traveller children, aiming to portray their everyday lives with honesty and respect. Her work highlights the challenges they face, including racism and social exclusion, while celebrating their strength, dreams, and dignity. Johnson’s imagery offers a powerful counter-narrative to stereotypes, rooted in her belief that every child deserves love, acceptance, and the freedom to thrive.⁣⁣⁣

New video on Red Dot Forum! Leica Specialist Colin

New video on Red Dot Forum! Leica Specialist Colin McKinley explains how to customize the Auto ISO settings on your Leica camera to streamline your photographic process. As ISO performance has improved dramatically in recent years, it has become an essential part of the pro photographer’s toolkit. By allowing the camera to make the same decisions you would already be making, it frees you up to spend more time focusing on capturing the moment.Link in bio.
