In The Light Photography

Jeanette Brown

     Jeanette Brown was still a little girl when she decided to become a photographer.
Her Dad showed her his 35mm camera one evening and she was hooked. From a young age she photographed everything and everyone in sight. Through high school and college Jeanette lived behind the camera and sought refuge in the darkroom. She graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in Studio Arts. Her emphasis of course, was photography. During her senior year of college she began working at Centric Photo. They did not have a digital department at that time but she had taken a Digital Photography course at the U of A so they trusted her with helping to implement one. She managed the Digital Department there for nine years before she moved to Mesa, AZ. and became a full time mother! She still does some work for Centric Photo over the internet. Apart from working at Centric Photo, Jeanette has assisted local photographers on jobs ranging from conventions to high school graduations. She has also been honored to photograph many weddings. The thing that draws Jeanette to photography is the idea of capturing light. She loves how lighting can change the mood of any theme. She believes that with the proper lighting, any subject can reflect the intention of the Creator. Recently her artwork has centered on her love for her husband, Kim. Many of her current works display scenes from their honeymoon or other trips together. Jeanette has definitely been influenced by her work in the digital realm and has become quite taken with scanning her images into the computer to enhance them digitally. She loves adding her own color to black and white images, especially infrared, to achieve an impressionistic look that brings about peaceful feelings of warmth and nostalgia.
