About Photographer Jan Dee Gordon |
For many years, Jan Gordon has been casting her passionate photographer eye over the world, capturing shapes, lights, moments, people, urban settings, natural environments and more—mixing them, opposing them, reinterpreting them in a new, unique, artistic image born from her imagination.
From these contrasts, Jan brings up an aesthetic emotion, sharing her personal vision of our world’s ambiguity with elegant style, tender sensuality, empathic humor.
Whether she creates abstract images by distorting lines, painting a body, mixing textures and materials in real situations . . . or she creates frescos enhancing the spirit of a country, a city, a family, Jan is always exploring new ways of bringing up beauty, emotion, understanding.
Through the years her different projects have included carrying a mannequin head around Paris and photographing in different situations, painting a model’s body with acrylic paint and combining her form with steel and wood, making collages from real photos and mannequins and bodies and photographing the collage. These have led to more recent projects combining living elements such as flowers and branches with steel, then onto the present combination of nudes and steel.
Her study of photography began in Paris in French , continued in New York at the International Center for Photography and Los Angeles at UCLA.
Jan's pictures have appeared in magazines such as Vogue and Bazaar, and in several museums and galleries such as Bobbie Greenfield Gallery, LA Photo, and Wall Street Gallery. They have been selected by designers to decorate buildings, lobbies, hallways, apartments. They have been sold in stores throughout the USA. They are owned internationally in private collections, among them over a hundred and fifty families with portraits, collages, and books.
