THE ART OF CONNECTION
A gallery of black and white photography as captured through the decades
by Arizona photographer Jennifer Bowen
Since my humble beginnings in 2004, when photography grabbed a hold of me, I have been striving to create images that have soul.
By this, I mean I want my work to tell a story, or convey a feeling. Ultimately, I want to produce a body of work that draws people in.
Our lives are comprised of big moments and thousands of tiny moments in between. I'm most interested in what love and connection means to us and what the people in our lives mean to us. How we connect to and with other humans, our own selves, and the world around us. The thousands of little stories we all have to share.
What I have always loved about black and white photography is that it isolates emotion. It has the power to distill an image down to it's root. Not everything is better in black and white, but some images are.
