words & photographs is the first part of a trilogy of photo-texts within which Jesse Jackson IV explores his relationship to the camera, and the ways in which use of the camera has altered his perception of the world around him.

Jesse Jackson IV is a designer, writer, and photographer.

In his studio practice, Jesse pursues projects that allow him to leverage each of these creative disciplines to produce cohesive objects and experiences that are greater than the sum of their parts. One such project is Hommage Magazine, a monthly print publication featuring the work of visual artists near and far.
