Hello. I'm Jack. I'm 20, I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I have been a photographer for five years. I started this because I wanted people to see the photos I make. All of them, not just some.
I wanted to share all the different kinds of pictures, in all the different categories people might like to see: fire, landscape, flowers, double images, buildings, boats and the ocean. I love boats, so there are a lot of boats.
I want people to see what I like to do, and what I make.
Jack
He shoots on a phone, edits on a phone, and pushes the color until the picture stops being a record of the thing and starts being about the color. That is the method and it is not an accident. A lot of what is here would be an ordinary photograph if it were left alone: a marina, a fire in a grate, a dahlia. What makes them his is what happens afterwards, and it is why the flowers look lit from inside and why the fire pictures stopped being pictures of a fire.
Roughly five hundred frames went into building this site. 140 are on it, sorted into8 groups, and more arrive whenever he takes something he likes. The honest summary is that three of the groups are the real thing: fire, water, and the ones where the color comes off the leash entirely.
Most photographers are careful with color. They pull it back, worried about looking unnatural. Jack goes the other way every single time, and the name fits the habit: a shark is not a cautious animal, and there is nothing cautious about a purple sky or a flower lit from the inside. The crown is his own. So is the nerve.
