Photography is for Jamie Whof a medium to understand, create, and share emotions. As an act of intervention, not a passive representation.
Jamie's creative process started by being a flaneur, a feeling-hunter who searches for the right place and waits for the right moment to occur. He now works closer to people or nature to create pictorial representations of his - or other's - qualms. Jamie partly builds the place by framing the scene, and let empathy to decide when the shutter falls.
Writing is often part of Jamie's creative process, beforehand or upon completion of the visual work. Music keeps him company when he scouts places and mentally construct images. Melody is an essential part of his photography’s aesthetic.
Jamie finds inspiration in Hopper’s nostalgic light, La Fontaine’s Fables’ rhythm, and Munch’s dramaturgy. Psychological concepts influencing Jamie's imagery are acceptance, cognitive dissonance as well as one's search of identity.
Jamie's ambition is to create a honest and genuine artwork which, if not raising thoughts, brings at least something beautiful for the observer to look at.
