    The portrait pictures that he takes are really good examples of edgy photography. Most of them the people aren't smiling or they are in their natural element and so it looks a lot less staged and the high contrast completes the edgy look.

  10. What impresses me about his carrier is that at first Jeremy started out as a painter and decided to follow his heart in photography. As a person Jeremy impresses me because there’s always something interesting going on in his world. His humanitarian projects have been featured on may shows and he is very successful. Some good examples he has of edgy photos is when he took photos on the Brittany Spears tour.

    I am impressed by his ability to use photography to help people who need it. For example, his "Help-Portrait project used photographers to raise money for poverty. His project called "Voices of Haiti" also stood out to me because of the creative idea to convey people's thoughts and prayers on the pieces of rubble from the earthquake that are the reason for these thoughts and prayers.

  15. What most impresses you about his photography career?
    Jeremy has a very successful photography career. He takes portraits of famous families/individuals and is known on an international scale. However, I love how he used his photography and fame to start a company focused on helping those who are less fortunate through photography: Help-Portrait.

    What most impresses you about Jeremy as a human being?
    The thing that I find most admirable about Jeremy is how he uses his skills. There are many people who are good photographers, but it is what they do with the photography and what they take pictures of that shows the true personality of the photographer. Jeremy uses his photography to bring awareness to global causes, for example his “Voices of Haiti” photo essay. People can take good portraits of famous people, but photography can also be used to show problems with society and speak for those who are less fortunate. Jeremy does the latter and I find this aspect truly admirable and respectable.

    The photograph from the “Uganda Poza Project” section where the man is standing in front of a brown background is a very edgy photograph. It has sharp lines in the background and the subject is standing tall with a sturdy stance. The lighting is also very edgy as it creates strong shadows along the subject that cast along the background. The other images from this section are also very edgy, along with the ones from the “Uganda” section and many from the “Haiti” section.
