Behind the lens
jacobmsmith3@gmail.com
Growing up in the foothills of Tahoe, CA, I quickly developed a love for the outdoors. During family camping trips, I would use any camera available, filling the SD cards. This passion evolved, leading me to acquire my own point-and-shoot camera, and eventually, my first DSLR as a sophomore in high school. Photography has always been a passion for me, and as time passed, I used it to experience a different aspect of my other passions: music and the outdoors. Taking photos at concerts provided me with a unique perspective into the music scene I had always been curious about. Additionally, having backpacking or camping trips sponsored by some of my favorite brands allowed me to explore more places while doing what I loved.Upon leaving California, I attended the University of Oregon and earned a degree in business with a focus on marketing. While in Oregon, I continued to pursue my passion for photography and the outdoors through activities such as skiing, backpacking, and camping.Applying my degree, I am currently working under various marketing roles. During my free time, my enthusiasm for photography persists. I am also actively involved in the social media realm, overseeing accounts with a combined total of over 90,000 followers, and collaborating with clients on branding and website development. However, photography remains my number one passion.
