Jessica Rae Thomson is a photographer, currently based in Philadelphia shooting exclusively film. She aims, and quite simply, to document moments in which she experiences or witnesses in others. Themes of family, youth, aging, the complexities in the concept of home are present when she is observing and capturing her surroundings. Additionally, she values the longevity of photographs. As discovered in childhood, a photograph provides an intimate connection to the past. She now utilizes this craft as a means of preservation, to recall these fleeting moments in the future.

Apart from photography, since 2022, I’ve been devoting time to pottery studies; I’ve named this endeavor Sea Ceramics, signifying my solace by the sea and the great peace making with clay brings me. Work I create will be updated here as I continue to explore this craft.
