My name is Jess Nilsen and I am a Chicagoland photographer who has a passion for live music and creative portrait photography. My ability to become one with my environment allows for me to capture the energy of the moment in a way that feels raw and genuine. My experiences with performing and modeling offer me unique insight as to what it’s like to be in the shoes of the subjects I am capturing. I value authenticity, comfortability, and creativity. To work alongside creatives of all sorts is invigorating and inspires me to put all I have to offer on the table for others to see.
