I am John Jo,
an award-winning photographer whose timeless work has been featured in various prominent publications, including The Nashville Scene, Variety, People Magazine, Ebony, Forbes, and The Tennessean. My photography has been notably showcased in the Frist Art Museum’s exhibition Guitar Town: Picturing Performance Today, highlighting my esteemed position within the art community. With a decade of experience in photography, a keen artistic vision, technical expertise with camera equipment, and a solid background in customer service, I have the creative skills and commitment needed to make any endeavor a success.
At its core, my photography business is built on a foundation of inclusion, equality, and unwavering freedom from prejudice. I believe that every individual deserves to have their story told and their image captured with dignity and respect, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance. My commitment extends beyond the lens; I envision a future where our success directly fuels community engagement initiatives, particularly those focused on empowering underprivileged individuals. Through dedicated programs, mentorship, and access to resources, I aim to equip aspiring photographers and creatives from historically marginalized communities with the skills and opportunities they need to not only succeed in the industry but also to tell their own powerful stories, fostering a more diverse and equitable creative landscape.
My unique selling proposition lies in my "Chic & Concrete" style and approach to urban photography, which masterfully blends the raw, edgy aesthetic of cityscapes with an undeniable sense of elegance and sophistication. It's about finding the hidden glamour within the grit, transforming everyday urban scenes into visually stunning, high-fashion narratives. This technique offers more than simply documenting city life; it curates it. Think striking compositions that highlight architectural lines and urban textures with a touch of refined artistry. Whether it's a meticulously styled subject against a graffiti-strewn wall or the interplay of elegant attire with industrial backdrops, my purpose is to create a compelling visual narrative. I utilize natural light to create deep shadows and bright highlights that emphasize contours and textures, or employ artificial light to add a theatrical, editorial feel. The color palette often leans towards rich, desaturated tones with pops of vibrant color, or a classic monochromatic scheme that enhances the timeless quality.
"Chic & Concrete" isn't just about taking pictures in a city; it's about seeing the city as a grand, sophisticated stage where urban reality meets high-end artistry. I aim to deliver exceptional imagery and a seamless client experience, fostering long-term relationships.
Through my portraits, I get to bring the bits and pieces of how I see the world into your life. New cityscape prints are released regularly, so check back often. If you sign up for updates, you will get notified about new photos.
