This selection brings together photographs made across different locations, where landscape, built form and everyday detail are approached with equal attention. The work is not defined by geography alone, but by a consistent way of seeing that moves between observation and composition.
Johnstone’s travel photography is grounded in immediacy. Images are often made in passing, shaped by light, timing and the conditions of movement. This results in a body of work that remains open and varied, reflecting the unpredictability of travel itself.
Across these images, there is a balance between structure and spontaneity. Architectural elements, natural forms and human presence appear in different combinations, creating a visual language that is both flexible and recognisable.
“Travel allows for a different kind of attention. You begin to notice things you might otherwise pass by.”
The photographs are not intended as documentation in a strict sense, but rather as fragments of experience. Each image holds a moment that is both specific to its location and open to interpretation.
Together, the works form an evolving archive shaped by movement, offering a broad view of Johnstone’s engagement with environments encountered over time.
