Jason Guerra, born on tax day, is a photography student at Seattle Central. What stood out to me was his undeniable enthusiasm and commitment to this program which he has been planning on attending for 3 years.

Jason grew up in Seattle and upon graduation up and left to go traveling with money that he saved up. He meandered around the country and visited places like Florida, the Dakotas, Chicago, and New Mexico. He snapped photos with disposable cameras the whole time of anything and everything, including New Mexico landscapes from the Greyhound bus to the Colorado fires. In fact, he almost exclusively shot with disposable cameras and a polaroid camera until four years ago, when he actually bought a camera.

After his return, he became involved in the Seattle BMX scene and photographed his friends riding rails and stairs. Some of the BMX parks have cool, ominous names such as “the dungeon” and “the wooden whale.” His friends recognized his talents and urged him to consider photography more seriously. So, he did.

His dream job would include traveling around he world. As for what he would like to photograph, he is open to different paths. He is excited about learning in-studio table-top product photography and in the field photography.
