These images are inspired by feelings of detachment. Of losing oneself, and finding oneself.

After the last couple years of pandemic living. The absolutes in life had become mere facades masking life’s absurdities. The artist felt increasingly detached from reality. But the more distant he became, the more he understood his personal values vs. the ideals imposed on him by society.

Johnny Tang (b. 1985) is a fine art photographer specializing in a surreal and cinematic brand of imagery. Johnny began his creative career as a break dancer, before going on to receive his BFA in photography from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).
