Danielle – Nankin Mills & Newburgh Lake Public Boat Launch

Jordan – Belleville Lake
Part 1 working with Jordan involved his football gear on the field of Wayne Memorial High School in November of 2018. There was still snow on the ground at this point! Never wanting to turn away from an opportunity, despite there being little sunshine, we went for it. Jordan is a really funny dude, but …
About Me
When I was younger I became interested in making drawings because it allowed me to dream and create simultaneously. In 2003, during my senior year of high school, I began taking photographs and developing black-and-white prints in the darkroom. Since 2007 I’ve been working with digital photography and image retouching. In 2016 I received my Master of Fine Arts in Photography from Eastern Michigan University and am currently advocating my role as an educator; working in the fields of technology, web applications, and visual media.
When I’m not spending time with friends and family my favorite thing to do is explore the world around me with a camera in hand. Photography, for me, is more than just capturing a moment in time. It’s about selectively fine-tuning reality to promote an emotional connection. Personal collections of my fine-art image series can be seen on visualnoises.com

Jordan did our album artwork, it started with and idea sketched out a napkin and ended up with the best album art... design I've ever had. He took careful time and attention to change shading, change positioning and change overall tones and colors within the photo to match what was in our Mind's Eye. What's more, he made an animated image the art, so we can use it on Spotifyexclamation point - it's unreal!read more

I hired Jordan to photograph my wedding, and would hire him again in a heartbeat. He did a spectacular job from start... to finish. He worked with my fiance and I on photo concepts we liked, and incorporated our ideas into his shoot--he made it personal, and we appreciated that about his service. Truthfully, we were already sold on his skills before we were married. He did a phenomenal job on our engagement photos and we were hooked!read more

After Desperately looking for a photographer for several weeks, I came across Jordan Ewert’s link on Google. My... senior pictures were shot beautifully at the location of my choice. Jordan had a remarkable amount of patience, and has a very flexible schedule that makes him easy to work with.

First and foremost, Jordan is a skilled and gifted photographer and his photos of our family are the best I've ever... owned. He has a keen eye for scenery and a natural ability to grab unscripted tender moments. He's also kind, patient, and finds the perfect balance of professionalism and humor, which makes it easy to get comfortable. Also, I'm old as hell and he found a way to make me look my best without noticeable photoshoppery, if he did at all. Thank you, Jordan!read more

 NICOLE-RAQ JARRELL | Modeling Photoshoot | “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.” |
 TRE LEMAR (KING MARTYR) | Promotional Portrait | “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.” |
 STEPHANIE HARDIE | Modeling Photoshoot | “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 Jordan’s shoot while he made it very comfortable to act on any picture. Even if it had to do with food. Thank you, Jordan!” |
 JENNA BELEVENDER | Collaborator | “Finding photographers like this who are talented with the serious technical know-how 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.” |
