about

He is represented by Foley Gallery, New York and MMX Gallery, London.
British b.1966 Wokingham, England.
Jackson trained as a painter at West Dean College, England.
After dedicating nearly a decade to the full time study of a single beach in Wales he moved back to England and turned from camera based photography to exploring avant-garde darkroom ideas using controlled light - creating a uniquely developed process based on luminogram techniques. All his work is made in a simple garden shed.
Jackson won the Chris Beetles Award in 2013 and became a Hasselblad Masters Award finalist three times in 2008, 2009 and 2012.
In 2017 his luminogram work was added to the 21st Editions Collection and published by 21st Editions. The book 'Flatland' was premiered at the Grand Palais as part of Paris Photo Fair in 2018.
