The Wonder and the Worry

Chris Johns made some of the the most recognizable pictures of our time. He’s the only field photographer to rise through the ranks of National Geographic to become Editor-In-Chief, heading the world’s most iconic magazine during a period of industry disruption, digital transformation and ecological crises. After spending a career as a journalist walking the tightrope between worry and wonder, he’s now being shadowed by a visual artist with her own distinct ethos. His daughter Louise Johns, who picked up a camera as a child during her father’s last field assignment, is shaping her own photography vision one image at a time.
