Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Jess is ecstatic to be able to capture her hometown on camera in a new way this summer. She is passionate about visual storytelling and firmly believes in the old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Jess has been practicing photography since early middle school, but also enjoys filmmaking (and analyzing cinematography), writing, traveling, trying new vegetarian foods, dancing, singing and collecting vinyl records. But you will almost always find her with a camera in her hand (even while enjoying her other hobbies).
