Photography is a Window to the World's True Beauty

I’m Jerred, a photographer and educator living in Omaha, Nebraska. I believe in the power of photography to make the world a more beautiful place and that we can, through photography, lead more meaningful lives.

We are all photographers!

Storytelling is in our soul.

Photography has been a gift to me.

It’s just one of those things. You are a photographer. I’m a photographer. We all are. While we live in the Instagram age where hundreds and thousands come across our screen in a matter of hours, some people only consider a select few “real photographers.” That’s not true! We all have the ability to become photographers and we all have to start somewhere.

Storytelling through the creative control of a camera has been a defining aspect of my life for decades. It’s given me the ability to tell stories of the land I’ve grown up in, and to share the unbelievable beauty found all around us. I truly want others to feel the same way I have and learn how to speak to the world with a camera. 

I want to pay it back to others. When my photography students “get it” for the first time, the feeling is priceless. When they finally understand how to control the camera and tell meaningful stories about the world, they start to see the world in a different, more powerful way.

Photography is not about buying a new set of actions or presets.
