Jeffrey Porter (b. 1985) became interested in photography in high school after looking
through boxes of his fathers black and white darkroom prints. He later built a darkroom for
himself and learned photography on his own.
After deciding that he wanted to pursue
photography further, Porter attended college at the Rochester Institute of Technology where
he learned more about photography, but also about the importance of craftsmanship in
everything that is done with your hands. Porter is interested in storytelling photography that
concerns family dynamics, craft, and our connection to land.
He has worked for the Valley
News in White River Junction, Vt and The Dallas Morning News in Dallas, Tx. His favorite
thing to do is drive and work on his Volkswagen bus in the company of his father.
