I am Hailey Jane.
And it’s incredibly nice to have you here.

Photography gave me a run for my money when I started traveling around Europe and Asia. When America is all you know for 23 years, the culture shock is intoxicating—and so you better make art with it. I had to find a way to encapsulate and preserve my experiences, beyond memory and mind. Overseas there was a different flavor of to life. Man’s physical work was etched on his hands and heart’s work carved onto his face. Everything about the soul was raw and exposed. Could it be possible that someone else could be moved by this, but in a photo?

It was during my solo excursion through foreign countries that my documentary-style approach to photography emerged. Capturing the gritted, emotional, multi-cultural shared human experience was sustenance for my hungry heart.

When it comes to our project together, we will collaborate on your vision. We both play a hand at the final product. It’s not your responsibility to know what to do, but it is your responsibility to share some of your heart and ideas and dreams with me so we preserve, honor, and create with that at the center.

Hopefully you were drawn to my work for the love we both share for honesty, authenticity, expression, play, and love. That’s what it’s all about baby.
