Rebecca Jonas
Biographical Info Hello, I’m Rebecca Jonas. I’ve always been fascinated by the deep emotions evoked by black and white photography. As Jack Antonoff noted, “Black and white creates a strange dreamscape that color never can.” Once color is removed, the raw and emotional aspects of a photo are exposed. I specialize in concept shooting both black and white still life and nature photography. I particularly enjoy photographing what would normally be considered “everyday images,” in a way that conveys emotion – a story to be told. Quite simply, I photograph things to reflect how they make me feel. When I’m not behind a camera, you can find me curled up on the couch with the latest mystery novel, or listening to a very diverse playlist of music as I go about my day. Both photography and music awaken my soul and make me feel most connected to who I am creatively. In joining the two together, I use song lyrics to title my photographs. Sometimes these lyrics hold deep personal meaning and are reflected in the image itself. Other times, it may be a reference to a song that was playing in the background as I edited the image. I reside in New York with my wife and daughter, who give me my greatest joys in life. You can follow me on Instagram @rebeccajonasphotography and visit my website: rebeccajonasphotography.com
