Evan Jones

Evan Jones is a contemporary fine art photographer specializing in landscapes from the rural American West. Best known for his work photographing abandoned ghost towns and the remnants of the Old West, Jones explores history, tensions between nature and man-made structures, and the imprints that human life leave on the landscape. His art career began with a vintage 35mm camera and distance-learning through the New York Institute of Photography (NYIP), and he expanded his techniques as photographic technology developed into the digital realm. His practice of combining images of nature, decay, and land with digital techniques allows him to create work with lush color and texture that entice the viewer to experience the beauty he finds in these haunted and abandoned places. Jones has been published in regional newspapers and Idaho magazine, as well as exhibited in multiple galleries including The Gallery in Grangeville, Idaho, The Fourth Wall and The Creative Shop in Lewiston, Idaho.
