About

I've photographed my whole life — first just to keep moments from disappearing. Somewhere along the way the documenting turned into playing: chasing light, letting things blur, crouching for the angle no one else wanted. That's when it became art. I'm self-taught behind the camera, but my eye went to school — I studied architecture, and I've never stopped seeing the world as structure: lines, intersections, vanishing points, the beautiful constraints of the built city.

My work lives between two subjects that shouldn't get along. The city is constraint — brick, rail, colonnade, the strong line. The sea answers to nothing. So I photograph the places they meet: piers standing in the surf, trains flowing through rigid tunnels like rivers permitted to run, long exposures that turn moving water into architecture and city light into current. Structure and flow, trading places.

If something here stopped you the way these places stop me — get in touch at jaykoob@jaykoobphotography.com, or follow along at @jkoobgallery.
