About
Jessica's Background
I'm a native New Yorker and I've loved photography and videography ever since my grandfather, a lithographer, put my first camera into my eager hands. I immediately began to document everything around me that caught my attention. My camera became a tool that allowed me to see the world around me differently and empowered me to share my artistic vision. During high school I began my first job as a wedding photographer and went on in the wedding business for over 10 years and all through college. After I received a degree in art and upon graduation I started my own portrait photography business. Along the way I have met so many interesting people and seen so many fascinating places. As I progress as a studio and dance photographer I have ultimately found that the process of filming people is a form of intimate communication like no other.
Photography as Communication
I have always used my camera to share my vision. My camera has also allowed me to see things differently than only through the eye. I have met so many interesting people. The camera is also a way of communication that brings people together like no other.
