Artist’s Statement

My photography seeks to expose what I fear only appears in my mind. These images often show up in stark contrasts and bright colors.

About the Artist

Jay Shifman (he, him) believes no one is free until we are all free. When he’s not creating beauty on the page as a poet and writer, he’s photographing it in the world. His photography style features vibrant colors, stark contrasts, and overt messages. You can regularly find Jay documenting protests and the often-brutal response from the police. He lives in South Philly with his primary partner / wife, Lauren, and their dogs Nell and Crash.
