Purgatory
Jeff joined the military right out of high school and served for 25 years, including 2 tours of duty (Bosnia 97-98 and Afghanistan 08-09). He retired from the military in 2015 and enrolled in a photography and imaging program at the local college. He never carried a camera during his service and only started to really photograph people 10 years ago.
“I’m most influenced by people and what story their faces and expressions tell before I even arrive on set.”
Witch Doctor
It can be a struggle for him meeting new clients, his experiences sometimes get in the way.
“I have to tell myself, ‘You’re safe, you are not in danger, this is a camera not a scope’.”
