Jonathan Ressler Photography

This will explain, as you view Jonathan Ressler's portraits, the wide range of women – all ages and professions. Some are used to having the camera turned on them, for others, this was a novel experience. As for me, I was expecting a traditional photo shoot – like the others I've had done for author photos on my novels. What I got, instead, was a chance to climb a tree wearing a ballgown…and to see myself in a way I'd never imagined – as someone natural and beautiful, through and through; someone who fits seamlessly into the world around her, so that she can chronicle it for others. I looked at that first Polaroid, and I realized that Jonathan had captured, in one instant, what I strive for every time I write a novel.

It is said that art is that which moves us to tears and joy, and changes something deep within, so that after we experience it, we've discovered a facet of ourselves we did not know existed. Jonathan Ressler's photographs are ideally suited to this definition: a visual representation of the mark these women have left on the world, as framed by the eye of an expert.
