Jason has worked in over 30 countries producing photojournalism, personal documentary, multimedia art, and short films. His work— often including various socially engaged approaches— brings to life authentic narratives that recognize agency, authorship, and sovereignty for those in front of the camera while informing truth toward social and environmental justice. His work has been recognized, published, exhibited, premiered, and presented online, in print, and at venues worldwide.

Through Jason’s travels and work, he has come to the faith that the Indigenous worldview, in comparison to the dominant anthropocentric and materialist world view, is critical to the survival of our planet and all the life it supports. This is not a romanticized notion. It is recognition of universal order and natural law. It is a call to understand and honor local place-based ways of knowing and being, and incorporate this ancestral wisdom into our contemporary lives and collective future. It is with this respect for Indigenous sovereignty that Jason, as a descendant of colonizers and the colonized, works to decolonize his mind and actions, not as appropriation but to learn and share in love and service of all creation.

Jason is a Senior Fellow in the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), a Fellow at Wake Forest University’s Sabin Center for Environment and Sustainability, and the 2022 Environmental Peacemaking (EnPAx) Arts Fellow.
