"Star on the rise: Joachim Johnson
Toronto-native Joachim Johnson is taking the New York fashion photography industry by storm -- and he's only 21-years-old."
At 21-years-old, Toronto-native, Joachim Johnson, has achieved more as a
photographer in the past two years than some do in a decade. Counting
supermodel Agyness Deyn and musician Nelly Furtado as people he has both
shot and forged friendships with, Johnson is definitely hanging with
the fashion it-crowd. It all began with a chance encounter with famed
street style photographer and blogger Tommy Ton,
while interning for Toronto’s favourite glam-band, Fritz Helder and The
Phantoms, who introduced Johnson and Ton. “(Tommy) was going to Paris
Fashion Week and I was like ‘That’s perfect! That’s where it’s going to
start for me, I’m going to go to Paris.’ I didn’t know anyone there in
the fashion industry. I didn’t have any connections," says Johnson.
Spending all of his savings on a ticket to Paris, Johnson hopped on a
plane and went to shoot outside the shows.
When his 1970s
camera went on the fritz outside of Balenciaga, it was another chance
meeting that helped him get his foot in the fashion world. One of the
industry’s leading fashion photographers, David Mushegain, helped
Johnson fix his broken camera and after a chat, he offered Johnson front
row seats to Lanvin, Sonia Rykiel and Margiela. That meeting turned
into and invitation to New York where Johnson would eventually meet
model Agyness Deyn.
Since then, Johnson has photographed Deyn and an editorial for her new online website, Naag.com, along with top publications: NYLON, Purple, Billboard, Soko and the UK’s Sunday Times.
A talented star on the rise, Joachim Johnson is down to earth, filled
with passion and is most definitely one to watch. We asked him our infamous DNA questions to learn more about his inspiration, style and life.
