  • From the photographer Jasper James:“Sometime in 2008, the number of people living in urban areas outnumbered those living in rural areas for the first time in history. I thought it would be interesting to shoot portraits of these city dwellers combined with the image of a cityscape.”

I love it when a photographer can make us see things anew.  Without any artifice, Jasper James series “City Silhouettes” reveals the city through the individual, the urban through the human, and the exterior through the interior.  How many photographers can do that so well and so elegantly?  Mr. James proves again that “ideas” are the engines that generate great work.  Lane Nevares
