David Johnson is an internationally published editorial photographer based in Chicago, Illinois.

While pursuing a theological studies degree and training to become a national level sprinter, David's work as a volunteer youth mentor brought him on several trips overseas where he began to grow as a photographer. As opportunities to share his images increased, he soon discovered photography's potential to fulfill a lifelong desire to understand people and their stories. David's work has brought him around the globe traveling throughout East Africa, Central America, Asia, India, and Eastern Europe.
