Hi! I'm Jocelyn – my specialty is documentary and human interest photography with an affinity for capturing candid, tableau-style compositions in real-time. 
Documentary photography first took hold of me, ironically, on narrative film sets (around 2007-2011). Crewing as a 2nd AC and still photographer on independent and student films while working weekends for a wedding photographer, was my earliest practical training ground. I learned how to anticipate and move around the action. I learned how to be both patient and quick, in allowing the richest, realest moments to unfold. Capturing those moments is muscle memory at this point, but capturing them artistically is an ongoing practice–and that bit of finesse is the craft I love. 
Parallel to photography, I have a multidisciplinary art practice. I was recently awarded a grant for my Here Then portrait project - if you have friends in the Seattle area, let them know about it! 
Before 2020, I worked as a creative/art director for brands like T-Mobile, Gap, Laura Mercier, and more. (You can still see some of that old work: here.)
