Stella Johnson presents a stunning suite of black and white photographs that capture the daily lives of individuals living in remote communities in Mexico, Cameroon and Nicaragua. Johnson conveys in vivid detail and with great compassion the cultures of these people that have, over the years, welcomed her into their homes and lives. The photographer often employs dramatic shadows and camera angles that add a sense of mystery to the varied events seen through her lens. Above all, the photographs portray the simple joys and challenges of people who, despite economic barriers, are living each day with great dignity. Johnson, an accomplished photographer who resides in Massachusetts, is the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship and has worked on documentary projects in Africa, Mexico and Central America.
