About Steven David Johnson
Steven David Johnson chairs the Visual & Communication Arts and Theater Department at Eastern Mennonite University in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. His photography of the natural world has appeared in
- Orion, BBC Focus Magazine
- National Geographic Kids Books
- National Science Teachers Association Press books
, and numerous conservation publications and journals. He is a board member of Virginia Wilderness Committee.
In 2013, he introduced a new university course in Conservation Photography. Topics include aesthetic responses to the natural world, visual documentation of ecosystems, and an exploration of the relationship between human communities and the natural world. In the course of the semester, students work on a major real-world project in partnership with regional conservation organizations. When not in the office, you’ll probably find Steve half-immersed in a vernal pond photographing Appalachian salamanders.
