Hey, Ian! Tell us a bit about yourself

My name is Ian Jones. I would like to think I’m a pretty popular photographer here in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

I was born in Las Vegas and grew up in Upstate NY. The arts and college brought me to Pittsburgh. Moving to a big city changed my perspective from a small town in Upstate NY. It shocked me how so much more is accessible to you.

There wasn’t much to do back in my home town and I always had this urge to strive and keep busy. I think that passion inside me has helped me get to where I am currently. My passion and dedication to the craft are evident in my unique captures and fresh editing techniques.

I went to school for Graphic Design, so when I graduated I had a hard time finding a job because of how saturated the market was even at that time. This led me to go down different adventurous paths. Photography is one of them. I didn’t pick up photography till years down the road, but I am glad I did.

From street shots to food photography, I try to showcase my creativity and range in everything that I do.

For the past few years, I have been working with a company helping their marketing and social media needs. I have been known to be managing anywhere to five different Instagram accounts at a time. One being most important is my own!

I’ve worked with restaurants, breweries and a big national dry-cleaning brand. I am currently trying to discuss some things with a very popular whiskey maker. Fingers crossed that pans out because I love whiskey.

You can find a more immersive, updated experience of my work on my Instagram page. You can also visit my website, and find a list of everything in my office on Amazon.

Can you describe your home setup?

Something I have been able to do recently after purchasing our first home is finally built the home office of my dreams!

I would say the key feature of my workspace is lighting.
