Todd Johnson is an artist, curator and educator based in Portland Oregon. He received his MFA in Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute and BA in Photography from California State University Sacramento. His current photographic project, Big Bang Theory, is an exploration into experimental time based imagery that encodes and questions the authenticity, enviroment, and subject matter of the photography. They are photographs of fireworks, smoke bombs and ground flowers, formal and aesthetic, reductive and elusive, dynamic and contained. His intent is to pay homage to the history of experimental based photography from Williiam Henry Fox Talbot (1830's) to Man Ray (1920's) and more recently to contemporary experimenters such as Susan Derges, Adam Fuss and Christopher Bucklow. His work has been exhibited nationally in Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, San Francisco and Portland Oregon. His work has been written about and reviewed in The Washington Post, The Oregonian, and online in Portland Art News. He is an instructor at Portland Community College and directs a digital media lab for Reed College.
