Hello!
My name is Jonathan Warren and I’m a professional photographer. I’m currently finishing a Bachelor’s in Fine Art with a concentration in Photography from Auburn University. I discovered my passion when I received my first camera at the age of 15. From that moment on, I knew that photography was more than just a hobby — it was a way for me to both escape the world and to share it in a completely different, more visual way.
Throughout my photography journey, I have explored various genres: From capturing the emotion of concerts and beauty of weddings to creating striking portraits that reveal the essence of an individual, I have honed my skills and developed a keen artistic eye. Moreover, I have expanded my portfolio to include commercial and real estate photography, working with different clients to showcase their properties and create inspiring work for the interiors of their offices.
One of my most recent projects is a photo book called American Remains. This book delves into the raw reality of life in the rural Southeastern United States. Through evocative portraits of the desolate landscape, I aim to capture the essence of these forgotten areas and shed light on the struggles and resilience of the people who call them home. American Remains is a testament to my commitment to using my art to bring attention to important social issues, especially those happening right in my backyard.
When it comes to working with clients, I pride myself on my ability to listen to their needs and work together to bring their vision to life. From family photos to large-scale commercial work, I approach each assignment with the same level of dedication, creativity, and passion. I believe that collaboration is key to creating distinctive and powerful fine art photographs that resonate with both the client and the viewers. Overall, my photographs are extremely technical, masterfully crafted pieces of art and I will work hard to give you my best. Every single time.
