I am Louie Jones, Jr., a seasoned photographer, with over 30 years of experience, based in Palatine, IL, a suburb of Chicago. My unique artistic perspective has been shaped by a life of constant movement, first as an Army dependent and later as an Army Officer. From religion to politics to music, my diverse subjects reflect a deeply personal connection to my craft. My art is a mirror of my life. To know me, acquaint yourself with my creations.
For me, a timeless image is more than just colors; it's a fusion of vision and boundless creativity. Capturing the spirit of a moment is my priority, ensuring each photo is an authentic work of art. When it comes to art, I firmly believe that there are no rules, therefore, I enjoy pushing boundaries and exploring new artistic realms.
Light has its own language. Once you learn to harness and shape it, you'll be amazed with what it has to say. Through my commitment to capturing emotion, I invite viewers on a visual journey, transcending the boundaries of mere sight.
