Johnny Vacar Photographer | About

My journey into photography started with film photography with my dad, I’ve been shooting since I was 3 years old and it has become a part of who I am today.  After diving into the digital world and the passing of my dad it launched me back to my roots of film. Shooting film gives an intentional approach to story-telling.   I am drawn to observing human behavior and finding that unique spark in people's eyes, then preserving that moment forever. My passion is to connect with my clients or places and then transform the movement of life into a still image. I find the process of shooting on film to be particularly special because it demands a full commitment of trust and engagement with the subject. When I hold a film camera, there is nothing that separates me from the person I am capturing, it's just us living in that moment and that's how I am able to capture something so raw and authentic.
