JAMIEBOSWORTH

Based Out Of: Oregon

Bio: In a sea of schooled photographers, I am self taught. My parents were fine art photographers and we wandered on the weekends looking for interesting places. I was surrounded by the images of the times through National Geographic and Life Magazine, which were huge in our 60’s household. My parents were constantly talking about the merits of really fine photographs and they taught me how to see.

Out of school, I worked with the local paper covering art and theatre events, in addition to documenting an entire trades school for their first yearbook. There were 10 years spent moving around the country selfishly shooting for myself, waiting tables and tending bar. I moved to Portland in 1979 where the hobby got interlaced with portrait work and weddings for friends. At 35, I jumped off the cliff into full time photography and haven’t looked back. Weddings have been a big part of my life for 20 years and I still get out of bed on the morning of a wedding very much excited to watch the day unfold. My approach is mostly documentary with a little time set aside for archiving family groups.....I spend most of the day chasing the moments and finding the emotional truths.

Based Out Of: Seattle, Washington

Also Serving: Oregon

Bio: Photography, and particularly photojournalism, has been part of my life's story since I started reading National Geographic as a child. The depth of emotion, and the unyielding truth of photojournalism resonated with me as I grew up, and I began travelling, shooting and most importantly, living. The work of Steve McCurry, Tom Stoddart, James Nachtwey, and many others are a constant inspiration to me. As an English Lit major, I realized, more completely, the power and importance of the story. My passion is to learn and tell peoples' stories.
