Hello, I'm Jordan Leigh.
Photography has been in my life consistently since 2009. It all began when I got my first camera as a freshman in high school. Surprisingly, my love for the camera started by me wanting to capturing casual life moments as well as, the occasional embarrassing mirror selfies. Suddenly, there was a shift. Amongst the embarrassing, yet cherishable, photos I found myself trying to capture the beauty in the world around me. Slowly that became my main focus. With my high school beginnings behind me, I began studying photography in college and truly found my passion. I found my way to an internship where I became a photographer for my University. After graduation I decided to devote myself to my own photography business that could transport people through a camera lens to allow them to see and experience the world and all of its beauty through my eyes. So that's where Jordan Leigh Photography began, this passion turned business of mine allows me to capture all of your special moments.
Because to me, it’s more than just a moment.
With that being said...
I am determined to give my all to my photography. I don't just post pretty pictures I post authentic moments and real people. I give every bit of my energy to creating something beautiful and unique every time I pick up my camera.
I don’t just owe that to you, I also owe it to myself.
Self-Love Portrait
A UNIQUE TAKE ON SELF PORTRAITS
Let me get super real with you for a minute. Self-love has been quite a journey for me. The struggle originally started in middle school but my insecurity grew the most when I went off to college. I hid myself any way I could to avoid criticism from my peers. And if I couldn’t hide, I prayed to God that no one would point out the flaws that I was so insecure about. I began to wear clothes that helped me to hide. I mastered the art of reshaping my face with makeup and gradually overtime became a very reserved person. I was a person who was scared to stand alone. I was scared of judgement and questioned everyones thoughts around me. So while putting myself under all this pressure I eventually broke...
Kintsugi
The Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold
built on the idea that in embracing flaws and imperfections,you can create an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art.
I first heard about this form of art when I was in the process of getting my first degree in Art. I found it to be absolutely beautiful. I was reminded about this art form through an instagram post by Demi Lovato. She had shown off her stretch marks to celebrate overcoming an eating disorder. I was inspired and my head started running through all of these ideas. I decided to embrace what I previously consider my flaws and insecurities and create my own rendition of Kintsugi. With the help of my incredible boyfriend, Trent, together we came up with this. The first self portraits I have ever posted.
