Jenn's Latest Capturing the Fine Art of Life Collection: Life As Is

Life As Is will be on exhibition on the 1st floor Lamar Atrium of the Shaw Center Downtown Baton Rouge from February 25th - March 8th.

Jenn has been shooting fine art photography for over ten years now. She is a lover of life and a believer in everything. Finding love everywhere she goes, Jenn Ocken seeks out the healing powers of her surroundings, and sometimes all that she has to capture the moment is her iPhone. This inspired her latest fine art collection, "Life As Is." Using only her iPhone camera and quotes that are dear to her heart, she has created keepsake images that express her love for her surroundings.

These photographs illustrate her travels and daily life happenings. Whether she is guided by her clients asking her to travel, hanging out in her favorite cities visiting friends and family, or simply existing in her daily routine, Jenn believes that love is always available and it has an amazing story to tell us. In her latest Fine Art of Life collection, Jenn’s creative eye merges with her hopeful heart to create genuine pieces to heal the soul.

These photographs are printed in squares and presented in shadow boxes with corresponding quotes etched onto the glass of the frame, thus creating a 3 dimensional experience.
