A good photographer captures beautiful images. A great photographer will try to convey a message or meaning through the photograph to an interested party. An outstanding photographer will use their passion and creativity to produce an image that speaks to people from all backgrounds, in one, clear voice that cannot be mistaken. Ken Jones is an outstanding photographer.
Ken has a rare ability to see subjects not as one whole image, but a combination of different tones and lines. This artistic eye makes it possible for the photographer to truly explore the contrast between light and dark and the many shades between. His portfolio shows images that offer up a dizzying concoction of depth, and clarity. The eye is drawn to exactly where the photographer has placed the focus. In doing so, the message of the piece is as clear and enticing as the lines within the image itself.
Over his extensive 30+ years in the business of photography, Ken has allowed his own passions in life to steer his mind’s eye. He is deeply drawn to light and shadow; the way the values interact with each other to create perspective. This love of tones and color can be seen distinctively in his extensive portfolio. A portfolio which shows the prowess of his skills and talent as one of Manhattan’s finest photographers.
In his own words, Ken Jones “loves the human mind”. It is this unique ability to explore people’s inner thoughts and how they “work” at their very core that differentiates Ken from other photographers. It is Ken’s creativity and talent that enable him to shoot stunning photographs. Yet it is his ability to connect with the subject, his client and his audience which transforms each image from a beautiful shot to a thought provoking, enticing piece of art. From advertising campaigns, to corporate head shots, Ken is able to understand and portray each individual story that the client requires to be told.As with many things in life, the results from one hard-working and talented person can be multiplied by the work of many hard-working and talented people.
Ken understands that to attain the high standards he and his clients have come to expect, it is necessary to work with others. Interacting with talented production artists and subjects in a cohesive manner, he is able to create work that is beautiful, powerful and timeless.
Ken’s talent comes from a driving force to continue to better himself at his craft. Although the talented photographer has learnt countless lessons from his years of experience, he continues to search for new ways to build on his expertise and create inspirational work.
