Experiential photography: Jesh de Rox

Jesh de Rox is an artist. He makes art with photography, more specific: experiential photography. Not experimental photography (that’s what I read at first) but experiential. And the term is exactly right for the works he makes.

Jesh has a gift to capture emotions and feelings in a very subtle and delicate way in his photographs. The photographs in themselves are best experienced, not merely viewed. Add to this a beautiful website that is customized to how you feel, and music that underlines the atmosphere of it all.

On his about page he has a section that has me thinking. I would love to talk to him sometime to learn how he came to formulating this part:

He has come to believe that the most important and precious parts of life are found in small truths, easily missed - that the world within is the root of the one without - and that the search for meaning is more about the search than the meaning.

I’m not going to show his pictures here, as they would be taken out of context. Go visit Jesh de Rox’ website and tell me what it made you feel…
