Will Jacks

Will began his career as a commercial product photographer in the mid-nineties. After seven years creating catalog images, he was uninspired and his business was treading water. In debt and tired of settling, he refocused on what drew him to photography in the first place--curiosity, exploration, and passion. Currently, he resides in a small Mississippi Delta town with his wife, Jamie, and Sam, the pound puppy (the real one in charge). Will is blessed to serve commercial clientele throughout Mississippi and the Southeast. He owns a photography gallery that displays his work and that of many other artists as well.

Chris Williams

A talented musician who originally aspired to be a professional drummer, Chris has led a life of travel and exploration. He was born in Spain in the early '70s and in his youth lived in Turkey, Chile, Pittsburgh, Houston, Tampa, Birmingham, and Baton Rouge. While many might find a childhood of constant uprooting to be frustrating, Chris now credits those experiences as the foundation for his photography. He was forced to meet new people, learn new places, and see new things - all of which he uses in his work today. When he and his wife, Lisa, moved to New Orleans 15 years ago, he discovered a passion for the city and its abundance of visuals. He started photographing wherever he went - the people, the buildings, the texture, the culture. Slowly a new career began, and today his work takes him all over the world, continuing a journey he began as a child.
