JJ Jimenez's photographs are about connection to her subject and the world around her. They're organic, emotional, tranquil even. Her style is all about ease in getting her subjects to do the unexpected, to be spontaneous.

Her work is inspired by the elements of the natural world. She thrives on location shoots, inviting her subjects to be impulsive and willing, embracing their surroundings, and bringing the unexpected to her photography. She's just as comfortable in the studio where she is able to create beautiful, classic portraiture and fashion editorials that shine.

JJ Jimenez is a native New Yorker. She received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts, where she was a recipient of the Rhodes Family award for outstanding achievement in photography. She is a regular contributor to the European fashion magazine, Deutsch.
