Freelancing with Jeff Jacobson
Jeff Jacobson graduated as a lawyer and picked up a camera when working as a civil rights lawyer in America in the 1970s, taking pictures of southern jails and the rural south. Jacobson's innovative approach took him to Magnum membership in 1978; he left along with Harbutt, Mary Ellen Mark and Burk Uzzle to form Archive Pictures in 1981. His colour images are powerfully and dramatically composed and often illustrate his use of flash to highlight parts of the picture.
