Jesh de Rox is an artist. He makes art with photography, more specific: experiential photography. Not experimental photography (that’s what I read at first) but experiential. And the term is exactly right for the works he makes.
Jesh has a gift to capture emotions and feelings in a very subtle and delicate way in his photographs. The photographs in themselves are best experienced, not merely viewed. Add to this a beautiful website that is customized to how you feel, and music that underlines the atmosphere of it all.
On his about page he has a section that has me thinking. I would love to talk to him sometime to learn how he came to formulating this part:
He has come to believe that the most important and precious parts of life are found in small truths, easily missed – that the world within is the root of the one without – and that the search for meaning is more about the search than the meaning.
I’m not going to show his pictures here, as they would be taken out of context. Go visit Jesh de Rox’ website and tell me what it made you feel…

Absolutely brilliant website. Loved the music. Loved the images. I totally agree, Jesh de Rox is an artist of the highest calibre. I’ve bookmarked the site for inspiration and I’ll be watching eagery for updates.
I love Jesh’s work, definitely leading edge stuff. I also loved seeing him in one of Jerry Ghionis’ classes this past year – we all have room to grow in photography.
Jesh is coming out with some fineart textures to use in wedding, bridal and engagement photography – can’t wait

We are considering running an Experiential Photography contest on Lenzr, but nobody can predict what type of photos we’ll get? Would people even know what to submit? I can here looking for a definition – today in jan 18 and Wiki is down to protest SOPA. My delimma goes unresolved. Is a picture of a lawnmower spitting out trimmings ‘experiential’ if the title of the piece is ‘Watch your toes!’
