SELF PORTRAIT, 2024

JACK SIPPERLY IS AN AMERICAN PHOTOGRAPHER FROM COASTAL NEW ENGLAND. HE IS CURRENTLY BASED ON MARTHA’S VINEYARD, SURROUNDED BY THE OCEAN IN AN EVER-CHANGING ISLAND LANDSCAPE. HIS IMAGES DOCUMENT LIFE ON THE SHORE, UNPOSED AND TIMELESS.

SHOOTING PRIMARILY IN COLOR AND B&W 35MM FILM, JACK EMBRACES A SLOW PROCESS THAT REFLECTS HIS VALUES OF INTENTIONALITY AND THOUGHTFUL PRESERVATION. HIS OBSERVATIONAL STYLE CAPTURES THE BEAUTY IN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCES AND THE HARMONY BETWEEN INCONGRUOUS ELEMENTS WITHIN A SINGLE FRAME. THEMES OF PEACE PERVADE HIS WORK.

JACK’S PHOTOGRAPH “GRACE & MARY” DEPICTING ISLAND FARMERS WAS RECOGNIZED IN MARTHA’S VINEYARD MAGAZINE’S FIFTEENTH ANNUAL PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST. HE AIMS TO TELL MORE LOCAL STORIES THROUGH HIS IMAGES AND ACTIVELY SEEKS CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS WITH SMALL BUSINESSES, FARMS, COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, AND ARTISTS.
