Jared Fortunato is a fine art photographer in New York City, having recently relocated from Los Angeles. Ever since he was a boy, he used his environment as a way to understand himself and the world around him. His parents gave him his first camera when he was 10. That sparked a lifelong curiosity to interpret the world through photography. Trees, water, shadows, and light: these elements fascinated him. They still do.
He’s in love with the unconventional people, places, and landscape of the urban environments he calls home. He finds the light transformative and the city’s varied topology a perfect canvas for creating photographic prints that reveal the beauty of the mundane and the magic of the everyday.
His sensitive and thoughtful approach to every encounter with his camera or his clients translates into art that does more than engage the eye. He believes photography can change perception, alter mood, and bring about states of meditation and calm. To viewers and patrons alike, he offers a chance to pause, unplug, and if for even a moment, see the world as he does--as a place of magic and grace.
