Hi, i’m Jebrahn جبران - this is my anglicized Arabic name, in Arabic. i’m a non-commercial photographer and a university student of Indigenous People’s Studies with a passion for triple-entendres, laughter, symbiotic graftings of softness with edginess, kindness towards animals and plants, and intimacy with one’s chosen artform. the aim of my shots scouts moreso toward the naturally earthbound than for contrived design- although i do love design… … … !…
i'm interested in a wide range of subject&concept material: the weather, color, movement, earthen elements, magical realism, collective suffering, beautiful malformation, perfection, garbage, craftsmanship, photography as eye-training or meditation practice, tragicomedy, anthropocene toxicity, labor, wildlife, watersheds, shooting from the hip, family, portraiture.
my background is in all of the arts, permaculture, and classical yoga. my background is also in all things female-specific, trauma recovery, botany and herbalism, painting and pottery, poverty, farming, swimming, hollywood history, medical abuse (antiquated and present-tense), developmental disabilities, things falling apart, meadows paved over with asphalt, lovers, angels, villians, victims, colonial monsters, local ghosts, demons, animals, mushrooms, faries — all of which/whom i love to hide and seek in my photographs - and yours <3
