I’m a professional photographer. I’ve worked and lived around the world, spending most of my adult life on the run from conformity and routine; it’s a lifestyle that lends itself well to exploring this vast Earth we call home. This virtual place is home to some of my latest photographic work and acts as a portal for workshop students who need to access course information online.

Sometimes I write stuff too.

The foundations of my contemporary works are firmly embedded in a world of empathy, apathy, sexuality, humanity and solitude. I prioritise colour, line and shape above a clear definition of subject, letting associated texts fill in the blanks.

I initially work with analog film shot using a beater of a Nikon. Once the raw material has been captured, I move over to digital platforms, extracting my subjects and working them into a new, abstract yet defined compositions.

The texts are born out of experience; of personal loss, professional gain, social observation, questions of ethics and morals, of how and when and maybe, of quantum entanglement and buried cities in the dark of the moon. Each text is written alongside the creation of each artwork, and both develop together as a unity, an expression, a product that I am proud to call #jaco.
