Welcome to my page!
My name is Johnny Sahagun. I’m a former U.S. Army soldier who served two combat tours in Iraq, experiencing some of the world’s most dangerous regions and thrilling moments. These experiences shaped who I am today, fueling my passion for storytelling through photography and videography.
Having traveled across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Pacific, I bring a global perspective to my work. As a former combat photographer and infantryman, I’ve developed a unique instinct for working under pressure, navigating high-stakes environments, and capturing powerful, authentic stories.
Whether you’re a media outlet, journalist, or non-profit organization, I’m the professional you need when the stakes are high. My military background equips me with unmatched focus, adaptability, and precision—skills I now apply behind the camera. Bonus? I’m a pro at manual stick shifts, which are perfect for assignments where, in third-world countries, most cars are stick shifts.
I specialize in:
Documentary and Event Coverage
Real Estate Photography & Videography
Portraits and Landscape Photography
Small Product Commercials & Brand Storytelling
With expertise in cutting-edge tools like drones, gimbals, and professional camera systems, I ensure top-tier production quality. My workflow includes software such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and my latest transition to DaVinci Resolve for dynamic video editing. My skill set includes color grading, sound design, creative transitions, and crafting compelling narratives.
If you’re looking for a dedicated professional with a proven ability to deliver exceptional results, let’s create something extraordinary together. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to hear from you.
