504-907 is a cultural comparison of Southern Louisiana and Interior Alaska. Utilizing the diptych form, I invite the viewer to engage with the diptych to decipher each location. This work also represents my MFA photography thesis show from the University of Alaska ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø.
Miles B. Jordan is a self-taught photographer, educator, University of Alaska Master of Fine Art final year student, and New Orleans native who has experimented with digital, analog, and infrared photography.
As a photographer, he has worked in various genres, including fashion, lifestyle, editorial, conceptual, sports, portraiture, analog, landscape, cityscape, street, infrared, and photojournalism photography.
Miles uses his camera as a photographer to capture the surroundings around him. His photographs use effective colors to pull the viewer into the scene as if they were present - a feature that has become characteristic of his photographic style. Miles has been in various galleries across the United States, including The Bear Gallery at the Alaska Centennial Center for the Arts in ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø, Alaska, Decode Gallery in Tucson, Arizona, and more. His photographs have also received national attention when chosen for Kolari Vision's 2nd Annual Life in Another Light Photo Contest.
