Jordan Petteys is a Colorado born photographer currently serving as the Editor in Chief at her college’s newspaper. She finds the most freedom in film by treating each roll like a sketchbook–anything being better than a blank page. She collects moments. This mindset keeps her present and makes the photograph less about the perfect composition and more about the experience she was having with her camera.
These images are from Jordan’s endeavors in New Orleans this summer.
