About Me

My photo
Cape town, Western Cape, South Africa
My name is Ricky d.Johnson, a photographer from Bridgetown on the dusty skirts of the Cape flats ,Cape town.Im married with a lovely wife call Melissa Faith Johnson for 5yrs & together we two lovely boys Logan, Israel & one on its way. As long as I can remember, I have always enjoyed the magic and memories that photos are able to create. I love to capture the essence of emotion, to freeze time and be able to revisit memories. I like to take pictures that are meaningful. Pictures that put you in the moment, that allow you to share in the sheer happiness of a special time, take in the excited looks of a child, or even experience the serenity of a peaceful day. I am excited to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and my work. I can only hope that you enjoy my photos as much as I love taking them!

Photo shoot at Rlabs academy

 The photography class of 2012



Well firstly there was an atmosphere of excitement in the air, a buzz and a loads of energy.
The students were excited & at the same time nervous for the shoot that is going too take place at Rlabs academy which is situated in Bridgetown,Athlone,Cape town,South-Africa..

The students were split into various groups and there assignment was that they need to play the photographer for the shoot & at the same time be the model for the shoot. The Rlabs space was turn into a studio where there was onlookers on the set which make the students even more nervous for the shoot..
The space had your white arctic paper as a back drop and two sets of  studio lights.

At first they were nervous however as i took lead to show them how to do it,confidence started to build up in them. and the students started to pose,taking photos & it was going crazy in a good way though,lol.








The objective of the day was for the students to build confidence in them & too excell in what they are passionate about.

Be bless,
Happy memories,
