I’ve been taking photographs for almost two decades, working across both film and digital mediums. I’m inspired by the likes of Bruce Gilden, Philip-Lorca diCorcia and Shin Noguchi.

My photography mainly focuses on urban landscape, candid portraits and the gentrification of the city. I try to find beauty in the imperfections of inner city environments and the interplay between light and shadow.

An archive of my photography can be found on 500px. For new projects or commissions, please contact me on jacob@drozar.io.
