Budding:
-becoming larger as part of the process of normal growth.
-beginning and showing signs of promise in a particular career or field.
Back when I first featured the work of JDT Photo, I would probably describe the Georgia based photographer as a gifted and 'budding' young artist. When I wrote that piece in 2014, (The Spring Suspension) Jesse was just 24 but described his passion for photography as already firmly embedded. Jesse's philosophy is that if you love what you see when you look through the lens, that passion will come through to the viewer through the images.
I certainly love what see when I spend time with Jesse's work, especially his choice of models to create with. Although Jesse has certainly worked with his share of experienced models, some,like Seamus O'Reilly (Exceedingly Irish) I have featured on FH, many are 'budding' young models, most I have seen for the first time through their work with Jesse..
Darian is one of those models, a stunning young model who beautifully interacts with his lush surroundings. Although Jesse worked with models inside, his studio of choice is the often forest. The woods provides endlessly unique colors and backdrops, incredible tree's and plants as props and bodies of water for the naked body's he is shooting to submerge in. Darian looks he belongs in the forest, at home and at ease as he moves and poses so elegantly within the woods. Darian's soulful eyes also seem to be taking in and channeling all the beauty around him in Jesse's shots.
I think it's Jesse's forest studio that has me returning to work during times of seasonal change. Jesse not only manages to capture the beauty of his surroundings, but the silence, and not only the noticeable, but the subtle changes in color, texture, temperature and light that occur during natures routine, yet extraordinary transitions.
