Johnny J.

For the past seven years, I've immersed myself in the world of professional photography, gaining invaluable experience across various industries. From photojournalism to documentary filmmaking and freelance opportunities, my journey has been rich and diverse. I've delved into categories, including concert and event coverage, weddings, portraits, sports, wildlife, and more.

Along the way, I've had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed clients such as Fox Sports, Staind lead singer and independent country artist Aaron Lewis, as well as prestigious organizations like University of Iowa, Hawkeye Sports, and NASCAR. These collaborations have allowed me to hone my craft while delivering exceptional results.

Some of my most notable projects include spearheading the production of a Hulu commercial for the Belin-Blank Center for Talent Development at the University of Iowa, creating compelling documentaries for Kelderman Manufacturing, and contributing to the Skycam utility team for the Iowa vs. Michigan football game in 2022, among others.

In addition to my photo/video endeavors, I've also lent my talents to news organizations, accumulating approximately two years of experience covering breaking stories and current events locally.

I graduated early from The University of Iowa in December 2025 with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communications on the Multimedia Production track while also getting a certificate in Entrepreneurial Management.
