About
Jefferson is an immigrant from Peruvian descent and has lived in Virginia since 1991.
He has always been drawn to the arts: drawing as a kid, music instruments and painting as a teenager and graphic design and photography as an adult.
He owes a tremendous debt to his art mentor after high school who would constantly say, “Jefferson you’re different, you do everything at your own pace, your own form. You will become an incredible artist if you put yourself first.”
As he grew older he found himself attracted to the wilderness and fell in love with photographing each scenery.
“I photograph not to capture a great image but to capture a great story”
