Hey friends,
It’s been a while! If you’re reading this it’s because I want to share some of the work I’ve been doing behind the scenes. From a print feature in CREEM, to directing a VR music experience and documentary film credits, there is so much to catch up on. Through every new era, my background in music photography has served me well. Thanks for being part of the journey.
All my best, Jackie
For CREEM’s Spring 2025 issue I had the esteemed pleasure of writing a feature photo essay about TV On The Radio, documenting their Webster Hall residency in NYC. The cover of this issue - a Steve Keene original painting - was also photographed at my studio in beautiful Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
FROM THE ARCHIVE:
We are all getting nostalgic for CBGB’S with the upcoming fest on 9/27! I’m lucky enough to have seen a few shows while they were still open. When the location became a John Varvatos store I was there on assignment for SPIN to document the opening party, too.

La Pasión XR is an immersive experience made in collaboration with the Gateway Chamber Orchestra in Tennessee. They perform Golijov’s work “La Pasión” in a 3D point cloud replica of the concert hall. For this innovative piece I used 6 different 360/180 stereo camera angles that visitors can explore. The experience is available on the Steam marketplace here.

Archival Photos
Having Fun With Assh*les: The Greatest Band No One Knows is a documentary film about metal band The Giraffes directed by Ted Maniatakos. I was thrilled to contribute a large number of archival images, in addition to commentary and camera work from 2024. The film premiered at the Doc n’ Roll film festival in 2025.
FOR A GOOD CAUSE:
NOISE FOR NOW connects artists with reproductive justice organizations to raise funds through benefit concerts and merch collabs. I’ve teamed up with them at festivals like Screamfest and TVOTR’s There Goes The Neighborhood (Under the K Bridge) to sell merch and create social media content.
