Adam Johnson is unique in his photography as he combines a fine art background with a formal education in engineering and science. The result is distinctive, emotional photographs captured using high technology tools with an artistic eye.

Since forming Brockit Inc. in 2001 and launching brockit.com, his commercial, fine art and portrait work has been visible on the covers and in the pages of magazines, travel guides and books and on websites, billboards and microbrewery walls.*

Self taught, Adam enjoys a diverse client list that keeps him and his Northern Michigan studio and staff busy from coast to coast, providing digital captures, free of manipulation, to the photography agencies and marketing companies for which he freelances. The diversity has taught him to capture images regardless of environment or constraint.

Adam’s charismatic and professional personality provides comfort and confidence, allowing him to capture the natural feelings, expressions and moments of his subjects. This is what motivates Adam as a photographer: being there for that single perfect moment and capturing the emotion in an artistic, timeless shot.

Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Adam and his wife, Robyn, have been using the Keweenaw Peninsula as their home base since 1993. Six-year old daughter, Kora Melia, is a favorite photographic subject for the freelance photographer.

*Editor's Note: And on Keweenaw Now. Thanks, Adam!
