Lou Jones
One of Boston's most diverse photographers, Lou Jones specializes
in editorial, reportage and corporate photo illustration and location
photography.
Jones spent much time in the 1980s on CODELs (Congressional Delegations),
photographing government, military and guerrilla leaders in Central
America. The end of the decade brought a photo essay on Perestroika
and the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 1990, the Museum of Afro-American
History commissioned Jones to document women of success and influence.
The resulting exhibition, "Sojourner's Daughters," was highly acclaimed
by the fine-art community.
Jones' images have been exhibited in
galleries throughout the country, including the Corcoran Gallery
in Washington, D.C., the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the
Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York City and the Museum of Afro-American
History in Boston.
One of his personal photographic projects is
a five-year odyssey documenting men and women on death rows across
the United States. In 1997, he published an insightful book titled
Final Exposure: Portraits from Death Row, which is currently
in its second edition.
