More Than Nature Photography

Art Placement Planning

Your walls are an extension of your care team. With over 20 years of experience, including biophilic design, we’ll guide you through every step: from measuring walls and reviewing floor plans to selecting, framing, and color-matching the right images. We don’t just provide art, we place it with purpose so your patients, staff, and visitors feel the difference.

Custom Nature Art

Our library is vast, but sometimes your healthcare environment needs something special. That’s why we travel nationwide to capture local landscapes tailored to your facility. Research shows patients respond best to imagery that reflects their surroundings, and we love bringing those places indoors. The research is clear. Nature heals.

Team & Installation

Kurt Johnson Photography is a team with two seasoned nature photographers, graphic designers, editors, art consultants, and installation experts. We deliver comprehensive solutions, from early design collaboration to the final touches of installation. With our experience in evidence-based design, we know what works, and we make the process seamless.

“I’ve been all over this hospital and other medical offices, and there are some dark, drab spaces out there that make you want to curl into a ball in the corner. So I really love when a healing space has bright light and great art and thoughtful design. I think it reminds us patients of all the beauty in the world we want to stick around for.”

“Kurt and Carolyn Johnson are a unique and dynamic team! They were able to provide original high-quality beautiful biophilic imagery that embraced the design vision and made it come to life.”

“Kurt and Carolyn were wonderful to work with. They asked lots of questions about how areas were being used so they could recommend the right artwork and were very mindful about incorporating some local landmarks into the building. We have enjoyed working with Kurt Johnson Photography and look forward to working with them on future projects.”

“We loved working with Kurt Johnson Photography and their team. The nature of the material Kurt photographs and his eye for composition really lends itself to taking these images and just exploding them. It’s kind of interesting to see details blown up and magnified that you would not see in normal life...it can instantly transform a space.”

“Not only are their images and photo manipulation skills on point, but the professionalism they display to keep the relationships with the designers and clients is also exceptional, to say the least. I have enjoyed every opportunity I have had to work with this team and look forward to many more amazing projects together!”
