We’re, of course, huge fans of Geoff’s work here at Connect—this week’s cover is just one of many examples of his knack for capturing vibrant and poignant moments in the lens—but his talent goes above and beyond his contributions to this paper. Raw band photos, luminous wedding photography, crisp studio work, live show photography that makes you feel the band’s sweat on your skin with just a glimpse: whatever you need, Geoff L. Johnson is your guy.
