Giles Johnson
Drag to set position!
I have had an active stream on Flickr since 2018, and I have found the experience very positive and rewarding.
So many talented people out there, it is inspiring. There are some truly stunning images that make me realise how good it can be.
And so many generous people too, the positive support has been so encouraging. Thanks to all who have taken the time to view, fave and comment. I will continue to carry my camera everywhere, and share moments from the visual diary when I feel they may be of interest.
Thanks to all in the community for making Flickr such a worthwhile medium.

I came across Giles during my "tour" of the black and white group on Flickr. I was blown away with the quality of the images and the dedication to black and white images. I see imagination, commitment and above all a passion for photography. I can see from his choice of camera, subjects and treatment that he enjoys photography as well the journey of photography. His encouraging remarks are motivating me to follow in his footsteps. May he inspire generations to the delicate art of "seeing" .

Your work is so highly dynamic, jam-packed with emotion...your eye for light is uncanny and there's always a sense of the "decisive moment" that stops you dead in your tracks when you come across one of those beautiful high-contrast b/w shots!. Many of your candid street shots have a sexiness to them that I really love to capture in my work, too! You're making it look easy, but in fact it's hard work! Thank you for your generous feedback, Giles, I really appreciate it!

Outstanding work - your gallery is a pleasure to look at.
Amazing black and white images... inspiring to say the least. Thanks for sharing them with us here on Flickr! Saludos from Chile! ( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)✊
Finally got the chance to sit down and look at this collection. It is a very strong collection of black and white images which catch glimpses of every life and places. A very accomplished photographer.
Wonderful images. And brought with generosity. Interesting work. I get the urge to by myself finally a Leica camera too! (My dad seems to have worked with one in the last world war!)
Unquestionably one of the best galleries of street photography I have had the pleasure to view. Giles has amazing insight for the human condition, all of its frailties, idiosyncrasies, the sadness and joy, captured with empathy and humour, and undoubtable skill.
Delicious and fantastic monochrome universe !! It's a real real pleasure to spend some time through your vision of the world. I'm impressed and admirative... Thank you for sharing your art ! Colin
You may notice that all of his artworks are 100% black and white with fabulous tonality and gradience. Lots of friends maybe consider Black and White Photography exists like a savior for them especially while the colors and tonality don’t work well.

You may notice that all of his artworks are 100% black and white with fabulous tonality and gradience. Lots of friends maybe consider Black and White Photography exists like a savior for them especially while the colors and tonality don’t work well. But this is not the case for Giles Johnson, he prefers to use Black and White Photography as a form to tell the story around him via his gifted eyes. His artworks of Black and White is more like a light-house for those folks lost in the sea of monochrome. His profound gallery is more than exceptional skillsets or framing the picture-perfect spots also about the feeling that motivated him triggers the shot for each precious moment. His artworks are inspiring and I am more than happy to visit his gallery as regular.

Heyyy ... I like your photo gallery. I really like natural history in your photos. Beautiful encounter!
I agree with each and every comment. Very skilled photography and very interesting stories are seen within each frame. loving ALL captures immensely.
