I’m Johnny Panessa from Bushwick, Brooklyn and I make toys, packaging, and take photos for a living. I first found photography through skateboarding after I started using a camera to have photographic evidence of skateboard tricks and places of when I would travel to skateboard. Skateboarding and the movie Baraka by Ron Fricke sparked my initial urge to travel. I really started recording every travel journey with the imagery in Baraka in mind; I was after that quiet subtlety Baraka captures so effortlessly.
