Jay Shifman (he, him) believes no one is free until we are all free. When he’s not creating beauty on the page as a poet and writer, he’s photographing it in the world. His photography style features vibrant colors, stark contrasts, and overt messages. You can regularly find Jay documenting protests and the often-brutal response from the police. He lives in South Philly with his primary partner/ wife, Lauren, and their dogs Nell and Crash.
