Jonathan J. Wheeler Photography

I’m a local resident and photographer in the Clarksville and Nashville area of Tennessee. I’ve learned a lot about photography from an academic level at APSU. I've spent many hours in the darkroom working with 35mm film, learning about the masters of photography, digital photography concepts, and the abilities needed to get the details and compositions just right. My curiosity of the world around me, no matter where I am, is a driving force for my photographs. From weddings to hiking mountains, I want to tell stories with my images and hope that they can inspire, captivate, and spark emotion in the people that view them.

I view the world behind my camera as a chance to document incredible moments, but I do this with a fine art mentality. An example would be capturing moments like Steve McCurry or Henri Cartier-Bresson, and making sure to not lose sight of the purpose of the photographs. I think it's very important to establish connections with any subject I photograph, and in that, I am able to get beautiful images for my clients. I have many years of experience in customer service and have lived abroad for quite some time in Asia. All of this makes me an adaptable and communicative photographer. I find joy in people loving the art that I create.
