Artist

Although Alan Jordan’s photographs include landscapes and objects, he describes himself as a “body-centered” artist. His canvas of choice is the body and his vision is delivered through photography. Alan’s purpose is to capture the essence or “spirit” of the being. Building relationship with the person is the heart of his work. Alan’s photography is holistic, empowering and healing. On a simple level he interacts with his subjects to create “fun-filled, no-pressure” art!
