Jason Allen always had an interest in photography, recalling how he played with his mother’s Nikon in the backyard, asking his mom how to focus. However, it wasn’t until he was in his mid-twenties that he was gifted his first camera. He was hooked, so much that every free minute was devoted to learning. He would ramble about the United States photographing the awe-inspiring natural world. Nature and his love of photography became his solace when times were challenging in his life.

He found himself comfortable being a child-like observer of the world around him where his natural intuitive and empathic abilities allowed him to feel the essence of a situation. 

In 2021 Jason ventured to the Texas border to create his first long-term project Migrations: The Texas Border.

After Migrations Jason felt that he more deeply connected with an artistic expression than documentary work and has felt his home there ever since.

His work is directed at expressing the transrational through a photographic medium. 

Jason currently resides in Austin, Texas.
