Jon Manchester
A photographer and photo educator originally from Colorado, Jon P. Manchester brings 30 years of traditional and digital photography experience to the Crealde School of Art. He was first introduced to photography at age 7 when his parents provided him with a Kodak Instamatic and the liberty to make photographs during sightseeing trips throughout Europe. While wandering various countries armed with his Instamatic, he felt like a great explorer about to uncover something new. A decade later, his passion for photography really took hold when introduced to the darkroom, and he learned the technical side of the photographic medium. After becoming proficient with the photographic process, he discovered that he could express his vision and ideas through photography. His understanding of fine art photography, technical image processing and post-processing has made him a valuable student resource. Manchester was influenced by his mentor, Rick Lang, the late Director of Photography at Crealde. He says he greatly admired the way Lang related to his students, opening a collaboration of knowledge and learning as much from them as they learned from him. A long-time faculty member at Crealde, Manchester has received several awards and has exhibited his work in various juried and invitational exhibitions throughout the southeastern United States.
