LaChapelle's first photograph to include Johnson, a group shot with other models, The Deluge, was used on the cover of French art photography magazine Photo Magazine.[1] Johnson also modeled for LaChapelle's fine art projects Auguries of Innocence,[2] Bliss Amongst Chaos, Awakened, and The Raft—which was shot on location at LaChapelle's sustainable living ranch in Hana-Maui, Hawaii.[3] LaChapelle cast Johnson as the star of his “anti-commercial” ten-minute long art film and international campaign for Swedish designer Happy Socks, Happy Accidents: The Exorsocks,[4] and is seen on select bottles Castellare di Castellina red wine.[5][6][7][8][9] [10]


Johnson also was the model for photographer Brooke Shaden's "The Re-Imaging of Ophelia" series of images,[11] one of which was used as cover art for Dot Hutchison's young adult novel "A Wounded Name".[12][13] Johnson was a nominee for the Shorty Awards "Best Actress" 2014,[14] and is a contributing author with CreativeLIVE.[15] She plays Becky in 5-Second Films "Dude Bro Party Massacre III" which was called, "Extremely well-made. The film’s pacing, comedic timing, and sense of visual comedy are some of the best I’ve seen in a comedy this century."[16] [17] She volunteers her time and image with Pin-ups for Vets, a non-profit where models dress as World War II-style pin-up girls to raise funds for wounded veterans and deployed troops [18][19] and dances professionally with Vaud and the Villains.
