JACK MAJOR PHOTOGRAPHY
JACK MAJOR PHOTOGRAPHY
My name is Jack Major. I am a photographer who focuses on
capturing people. My work is rooted in emotion. Throughout
my images, I work to capture the moment as I see it. From a
very young age, I have been deeply fascinated by the human
experience. The idea of why someone does what they do,
personal relationships with others, and the moments of life
that feel so personal, only you could experience them. Over
my 21 years on this earth, I have been blessed with community
wherever I have gone. My memories with these people are the
most important to me. I find direct inspiration from my life and
my people. With my work, my ultimate goal is to create an
environment that invites the viewer into the image. Creating a
point of connection between myself as the artist and those who
see my work. The photos that I make are for me. Photography is
my direct expression of my perspective on life. I am currently in
my third year of study at SCAD, receiving my B.F.A in Photography,
as I continue to refine my craft and process as an artist, I want
to make art for people, about people, inspired by people.

My creative practice is inspired heavily by music.
I am constantly listening to music, whether it's
during shoots, while painting, writing, or even just
the mundane activities of day-to-day life. Music
holds so much emotion. I don’t believe a song can
exist without emotion. Music is crucial to my
artistic process. Growing up, I have always been
surrounded by music. At the age of 7, I started
learning the piano. Fourteen years later, the piano
has become a source of creative and emotional
expression. Writing my songs came naturally to
me. In middle school, I learned I could improvise,
which opened the door to writing my own songs.

Light plays a vital role throughout my work. Light
in my images is crucial to conveying the photo's
emotion. I primarily use constant or available light
in my photos. I treat the light as another character
within the image. I am constantly finding new
ways to manipulate light through the lens's view.
When used appropriately, light can almost dance
around the image, interacting with the subject,
casting shadows, or creating lens flares. My lighting
style is inspired by film and cinematic lighting. Light
sets the mood. It creates depth, drama, and emotion.

While studying at SCAD, I was introduced
to filmmaking. Because my photos are
heavily narrative, I decided to start making
films. I fell in love with making films, being
on set, writing, filming, all of it. I have
written, directed, and filmed two short
films, “No Body Knows” and “I Love You.”
Video work is something I continue to
incorporate into my artistic process,
exploring how I can tell stories and
convey emotion through video.
