Steven David Johnson is an affiliate member of the International League of Conservation Photographers and a Professor of Visual and Communication Arts at Eastern Mennonite University. 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.

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.
