Mags Johnson

Product Photographer & Marketing Strategist

Mags leads social media and product photography at Purple Donut Studios, helping brands find their audience and show up consistently in a way that actually feels like them.

Mags handles social media strategy and content creation for Purple Donut Studios and its clients — building content plans, analyzing performance, and making sure the work connects with the right people. They work closely with the video team to pull social clips and marketing materials from larger productions, which means a single shoot can generate content that works across every platform. Their approach blends photography, graphic design, and a deep understanding of how each platform actually behaves, so content doesn't just look good — it performs.

Photography is a big part of how Mags thinks about content. They bring six years of event, creative, and product photography experience to every shoot, with a particular strength in ad-focused and graphics-integrated work. The goal is always the same: make the product feel like something worth stopping for.

Before focusing on social and photography, Mags spent a decade in community and nonprofit work. That background shapes how they think about marketing — less about broadcasting, more about connecting. They got into this work because they wanted to make marketing feel like art again, and to help brands build something real with the people around them. Their philosophy is simple: art is for everyone.
