Joseph Jurson is a fine art photographer, producing work in both traditional film and digital photography. Whichever camera he uses, his aim is always to seize that ephemeral moment, and create frames of lasting beauty. Inspired by the guiding principles of the photographic art form, the visual results are expressions of gesture and self. He says of his work, “simplicity in line, form, and color is the goal. Easy to define, hard to achieve.”

"I firmly believe that we need to slow down and look around. We are all moving at “blinding speed,” making us incapable of seeing and experiencing the beauty around us. The media and language I use to communicate my message are the black and white silver gelatin photograph and the chromogenic color print, with a plain spoken vocabulary that bridges the natural and man made worlds around us. As a fine art photographer, I am happily blessed with a drive to capture beauty, both representational and abstract beauty, and find expressions of eloquence to portray in my photography. I work hard to create images that possess a powerful restorative and soothing force, and I am always working to find ways to communicate those positive feelings and inspire all who see my work."
