LONG-NONG HUANG

PHOTOGRAPHER & ADVENTURER

My love for the great outdoors and my passion for creating inspiring images has profoundly shaped my career. While initially studying business and working in marketing and events, I gained invaluable experience in handling sizable projects, creatively designing them, and ensuring their successful execution. However, it was my passion that ultimately redirected my path.

As time passed, my desire to go out, explore, and experience the world grew stronger and stronger. Consequently, I seized every available moment of free time to embark on photographic excursions. With each shoot and subsequent progress, my passion deepened, ultimately revealing my commitment to photography as my true calling. Throughout the course of my journey, I have published over 1500 photos from my outdoor adventures on my Instagram channel @long.explorer. Utilizing this platform as a powerful medium to connect with like-minded individuals who share a profound love for travel and exploration, I have diligently cultivated an engaged audience of over 260,000 loyal followers. This substantial following has afforded me the opportunity to thrive as a fully self-employed content creator, establishing my professional path in the realm of visual storytelling and creative expression. For the past four years, I have been self-employed, working on diverse projects primarily for clients in the travel and photography domains.

I firmly believe that the most exceptional outcomes are achieved when one pursues what ignites their passion. With every project I undertake, I wholeheartedly invest myself, fueled by the belief that true fulfillment comes from aligning one’s work with their deepest passions.

What we do matters.

Deeply.

We want to create beautiful photos (…you know, like the ones that fill our Instagram feed). But sometimes the art we envision isn’t quite what we see on the back of our camera.

Sound familiar? I hear you.

When I got into the world of newborn photography, there were a lot of tears (not the happy kind!) and I felt really alone (and frustrated).

Luckily – you don’t have to try to figure it out on our own.

I created The Milky Way to offer the friendliest, most convenient online education for photographers like you, to help you quickly learn the skills you need to create the art you love and a business that truly lights you up.

I’m passionate about creating communities where new and experienced photographers can connect with one another in a positive, drama-free space.

I just want to remind you that if I can do it

so can you.

I started with absolutely ZERO knowledge about my camera, lighting, posing or editing.

But with patience, passion and some mentors who gave me a hand-up, my work has improved (and so has my confidence!)

I look forward to being a part of YOUR photography journey – to help you evolve and push your creative limits!

My name is Matt Johnson and I love making videos, eating thick peppered bacon, talking about Jesus, grooming my beard, and hugging my wife Rachel. 

Hello there! I’m a full-time nature photographer and photography educator based in the United States.

My photography journey began in 2010, while living in Minnesota and working in Information Technology. I purchased a camera to take better photos of the spare computer parts I was selling online, and I was immediately enthralled by the process of photography.

In that first year, I primarily focused on architecture and portraiture. But in 2011, a couple of friends and I took a road trip to California that would change the course of my life. It was on that journey that I first witnessed the mountains and deserts of the West, which I had previously known only through films and photographs. Seeing these rugged landscapes firsthand stirred something within me; I was inspired.

I moved to California that same year, and by 2012 I ended up in Oregon. It was then that I decided to focus exclusively on nature photography. I enjoyed exploring the mountains, forests, and coasts of the Pacific Northwest, but in the following years I made increasingly longer photography excursions to the desert Southwest. It is in those deserts that I have continued to find my greatest inspiration.

From 2019 to 2023, my girlfriend and I were full-time nomads, adventuring around the American West in our travel trailer. However, the call of the desert was too strong to ignore, and we are now have a home base in Southwestern Utah – not far from Zion National Park.

I want to convey a sense of mystery with my photographs – to spark the viewer’s imagination. Though I initially became known for grand landscapes, I now prefer to focus on more subtle, intimate scenes with less context. I have a great appreciation for the timeless compositions of the masters of film. I enjoy blending the influence of this classic style with contemporary techniques in my work. Composition and light are everything, aided (but not replaced) by development in the digital darkroom.

While you can follow me on social media (Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Twitter), I hope that you enjoy viewing my photography here on my website, where I have the greatest control over its presentation.

Talking about myself is a bit difficult for me, but I’ll do it for you!

Above everything, I’m a wife of the most amazing, supportive husband and the mama of the two most incredible, bright little girls. They are my whole world, and bring so much joy and light to my life. The immeasurable love I feel for them is what inspires me to create memories of love and connection in others.  

Since I was young lass, I’ve felt compelled to create. I’ve found joy and serenity in creating art, playing music, and of course, photography. Confession: Myspace is where it all began..yeeeppp. Late nights editing code and hours spent searching for the perfect song to express my melancholy emo feels is what got me started down the creative path I have yet to turn from.. Oh being a teen in the 2000s. I’ve come a long way from emo portraits of my high school friends on my point and shoot camera, but I learned a lot from that time in my life.

Now, I am lucky enough to spend my days making art out of life and helping my clients to see and soak up all the magical goodness of it!
