Jae Jarratt is a Professional Landscape Photographer currently based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado.  Throughout his life, he has always felt most at home in the mountains: from growing up in Colorado, to living in the Pacific Northwest, and traveling frequently to Alaska.  Exploring these vastly different landscapes has given him a profound love for the outdoors.  He is also an avid traveler and has visited over 20 countries and nearly every state in the U.S.

At the start of the COVID-19 lockdown, in April 2020, he decided to pursue his dream of being a Professional Photographer. That decision was based on an interest in photography and a desire to prioritize a sense of happiness and fulfillment.  From that moment on, he has worked thousands of hours, consistently working toward achieving his goals.

Today, Jae is a widely known in Colorado as a Professional Photographer and an educator.  He has partnered with Garden of the Gods Park teaching Basic Composition workshops for the past several years. That opportunity has given him a way to give back to the community and showcase his skills. In addition to working with the Park, Jae has moved on to teach Advanced Landscape and Astrophotography to hundreds of enthusiastic students. Guiding them in creatively capturing the fine details of a unique and expressive photo is something Jae takes an immense amount of pride in.  He is known for incorporating strong foreground elements into dramatic landscapes, which create highly dynamic photos using focus-stacking and HDR techniques.

This exciting new venture is something Jae believes will provide students the best possible experience to expand their repertoire and gain the tools necessary to capture the beauty of the landscapes around them.  He looks forward to seeing you in the field!
