Chic Jae Portrait Photography

"Looking at our almost immortal moments gives us this surge of joy, and I thrive on that feeling and I know so many others do as well. So many photographers, due to the heavy use of social media, only offer digital files because that’s what our desire to post nice photos tells us we want. For me, printed art isn’t dead, and should never take the backseat. Printed photos of my grandparents, my one month old niece, my boyfriend as a child way before we’d met. Those photos, of things I couldn’t witness, of times I need to remember, of smiles I won’t ever see again are what I have at the end of the day.Are we not all in the same position?That understanding is why I do what I do."
