New York-based architectural and landscape photographer Jade Doskow provides a portrait of success in a demanding field, earning her living photographing what remains. As a high school student, Class of 1996, New York-based architectural and landscape photographer Jade Doskow enjoyed afternoons buried in the novels of Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky with plans to major in Russian literature preparing her for the life of a literary scholar. Instead, curtailed by a bad accident from her job as bike courier, she began a series of photographic self-portraits that led to a project that replicated the novelist’s tone and vision of the world in images that are often dark and haunting--described as “eerily poetic” as they capture moments where people, architecture, nature, and time come together in a moment—and then move on.
