Emily Ann Jones Photography

I once had someone tell me that I am an evocative photographer. To be honest, I had to look up the word to know exactly what it meant. When I did, a whole new perception of my work was opened up. To me, I have always photographed what I love and what catches my eye. On occasion I shoot with great intention, but usually I feel as though when I catch a candid image that happens to be particularly powerful, it is simply blind luck unfolding through a series of random moments. This person\'s comment really made me think about the meaning of my work and the different interpretations that could be taken away from each image that I capture. This seemingly flattering compliment has made me question my purpose with my photography and helps me to delve more deeply into an idea or emotion I want to express with full awareness and intention. Oh, and if you are interested in the boring stuff, I graduated from the U of A in Journalism, went to Orvieto, Italy for travel photojournalism, have held several internships with local newspapers and am currently an Americorps member working with refugees while I also pursue my freelance photography career.
