Jean Ziesenhenne

Born and raised in Santa Barbara, CA, I discovered my love for photography at a young age through documenting life around me, as I saw my Father and Grandfather do before me.

I earned a BA in Art, Cum Laude, emphasis in Studio Art, from San Diego State University, receiving distinction in Art.

My passion for nature and the positive impacts it has on mental health has influenced my dedication for environmental preservation and activism through photography. I have been greatly inspired by the impact photography has on history and public perception. I enjoy experimenting with analog photography, using in-camera double exposures to create unique, one-of-a-kind images that express the interconnections between nature and the human experience.
