Awake Portrait Photography focuses on personality environmental exploration over traditional studio photography. I primarily work with artists, musicians, writers, and small business owners to create portraits that are both genuine and slightly surreal at the same time.

Cityscape Details is an extension of my fine-art photography image series. From individual buildings on city streets to cityscapes as seen from above, Cityscape Details represents collections of architectural photography and personal explorations.

Visual Noises houses all of my experimental fine-art photography & video series. The work I create here explores the unknown and contextualizes patterns —focusing on context and mood to reveal underlying forces at work.

I take portraits of people in relaxed, natural poses… usually with some kind of ambiance or atmospheric presence for effect. I specialize in producing high-resolution zero distortion architectural prints and capturing events with proper time-lapse photography as an option. My drive for experimentation and heavy photoshop is carried out in my personal fine-art photography series.
Photography is and has been my obsession for quite some time. When I was younger, I became very interested in making drawings because it allowed me to dream and create simultaneously. I grew up drawing things all the time —always aiming for realism as much as possible. It wasn’t until my senior year in high school that I began taking photographs using film and developing in the darkroom. Six years later in 2009 I bought a Canon 5D Mark II and began to realize just how much digital photography could offer unlimited possibilities. When I’m not spending time with my family, my favorite thing to do is explore the world around me with a camera in hand. Today I shoot with a Sony A7rii for its large resolution and built-in image stabilization for handheld motion blur scenes. Motion seems to be my current fascination. My dream is to travel, teach photography & time-lapse photography workshops, and sell limited-edition prints.

“Jordan was very easygoing and helpful, as he created a website that worked perfectly for the needs of my dance studio. I am impressed with his ability to listen to what his clients want and make it happen for them.
He also has provided the videography services for our Annual Spring Recital, the past 3 years. He is pleasant to work alongside and very professional. Year after year, he creates beautiful Recital DVDs for our dancers to purchase, at affordable prices. My clients and I are very happy with his services.”
“I’ve hired Jordan for numerous projects over the years for photo shoots, videography and graphic design. He’s quick yet patient, and efficient, and works well independently or when collaborating with others. Jordan’s creative thought process is boundless. In short, hire this guy.”
“Working with Jordan was a pleasure. HIs lighting approach produced just the right balance of interest. The images were beautiful, and I appreciated his flexibility on the shoot, trying different ideas collaboratively.”
“Working with Jordan was so much fun! He made me so comfortable and gave me great direction. The finished pictures were more amazing then what I could have ever imagined. I had so much fun and was more than satisfied with the overall experience. Thank you so much Jordan! I will make sure to recommend your work to everyone I know!”
“I really had the grooviest time with you, Jordan. You made me feel comfortable and made sure I was really a part of every aspect of the shoot — not just a model. You let me bring my kooky ideas to the table and worked with them very well. I cannot wait to work with you again! Thanks for being the coolest, you have mad talent.”
“Working with Jordan was a nice experience. He was willing to try new ideas and experiment. We had fun driving around looking for spots to shoot creative pictures. everything flowed very well and it was pure art.”
“Jordan and I went to Ferndale to take pictures. We really did not have much to work with dealing with props but Jordan had a vision for everything. He could see art in a tire, which is pretty impressive. I enjoyed doing the modeling for JordanÛªs shoot while he made it very comfortable to act on any picture. Even if it had to do with food. Thank you, Jordan!”
“Finding photographers like this who are talented with the serious technical knowhow to back it up is incredible. So many people snap photos and think nothing of it, but Jordan Ewert is an artist. I’ve worked with him on several occasions and I always stand back in awe of the work he produces. Click and be impressed.”
“I had such a great time working with you Jordan. Your work is so beautiful. Keep it up!! Thanks for everything.”
