Hello!  Welcome to my world.  Photography has been a part of my storytelling since childhood.  My parents divorced at a very early age 

CV

Jen Jansen, (b. 1977, US)

Jen Jansen discovered her love for photography in 2000 at ICP in New York.  After attending a summer program in black and white printing and processing, Jansen was driven to continue her passion for photography by working in a commercial darkroom printing while cultivating her personal work.  Jansen is primarily self taught, driven to craft all her images start to finish, including all aspects of the processing and framing.  After working for 8 years as a photographer and printer in a contemporary restoration and portraiture studio, Jansen left to pursue her own personal vision.  Jansen's journey has led her to the wet plate collodion process which continues to be the focus of her work.
