I take portraits of people in relaxed, natural poses… usually with some kind of ambiance or atmospheric presence for effect. I specialize in producing large-scale architectural prints, photographing events from unique angles (with proper timelapse photography as an option), and creating fine-art photography series based on pattern, symbolism, and context.
Jordan Ewert Photography was established in 2009 and has worked with hundreds of collaborators and clients. Contact me for an estimate or if you want to collaborate on a project together.

Jordan Ewert
Drawing kept me focused when I was younger because it allowed me to dream and create simultaneously. I grew up drawing things all the time, aiming for realism as much as possible. It wasn’t until my senior year in high school that I began taking photographs. In college I explored Photoshop and digital painting techniques to get back the illustrative quality of hand-rendered drawings. Digital photography gave me the sense of unlimited possibilities I had never had before. To this very day, exploring the world around me with camera in hand is my favorite thing to do.
*Journal | Promotional Portraits | Senior Portraits
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.
*Journal | Abandoned | Abstractions | Architecture | The City | Neighborhoods | Overviews
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.
*Journal | Abstractions | Landscape | People | Snapshots | Symbolism
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.
