Sandra Jetton, born in Memphis, Tennessee, is a New York-based fine art photographer.
Her background is diverse, but the areas are “artistically” related. After graduating from Rollins College with a degree in music, she moved to New York to study opera. At a later time she became an executive at several major financial institutions, but always held on to the urge to study photography. The more she began to explore this different art form and study the work of Robert Frank, Bruce Davidson, Saul Leiter and Garry Winogrand she knew she wanted to seriously pick up a camera. Studying at the International Center for Photography and with a number of private teachers she found street photography to be the perfect medium, a true American art form. It combines the social landscape, use of the day or night’s light, the styles of the times, neighborhood architecture, and, of course, personal observations and interactions. These elements are reflected in her photographs.
Her work has been shown across the country and is held in private collections.
