ABOUT ME
The Jaco behind the Blom
So let me try to say something about myself. I use photography to observe the complexities of humans from thoughts and dreams and female introspection. My images rely on a rigidity between an apparently approachable subject matter and sometimes in a darker context. I have been part of exhibitions in Bellville, Western Cape where I live and work.
I studied a Photography and a BA Visual Communication Design Degree. Have worked for various commercial studios, model agencies and Rapport. I also teach photography and is the head of the photography department.
My preferred work is to shoot a series of images in order to walk in someone else’s footsteps. I appreciate multiple exposures and light painting. I thrive on capturing beauty in females. Occasionally I also enjoy capturing the story landscapes and historical buildings tell. With regards to my personal work, I aim to manipulate the medium to communicate narratives. I have a frame-by-frame mind-set and I’m not a 2000 photos per shoot type of photographer.
