Beautiful light
Warm, friendly faces

These are the captivating qualities of a Jon Jensen photograph.

Shooting primarily on location, Jon is adept at working with what's available, whether a cargo van full of grip gear or a simply radiant sun. "It's pretty much about the light," says Jon, "finding and capturing it with your subject, in all its glory."

Born in the American Midwest and trained at Chicago's renowned architectural photography firm, Hedrich Blessing, Jon began his solo career in New York City shooting for magazines such as Metropolitan Home and Martha Stewart Living. Heading west to San Francisco, and later onto Portland, OR, he's collaborated with catalog clients, including Pendleton Wool, Smith & Hawken and Eddie Bauer. Jon's assignments have taken him far and wide, from luxury resorts in the south of France to the ranch lands of eastern Oregon.

Jon lives with his wife and daughter in an old bungalow he remodeled himself. When he's not shooting, he can be seen cycling around town, tending his organic vegetable garden, or trolling Pacific Northwest waters for wild trout and steelhead.
