Biography
I was born in Chapleau, Ontario and have had a passion for photography since a young age. Being surrounded by nature for most of my life, landscape photography was my first love in the realm of photography. It taught me that the most common things can be someone's most admired piece of art. I now enjoy experimenting with numerous subjects in the hopes of creating pieces of art both speaking my voice as well as speaking to each one of my viewers. I’ve taken all I’ve learned through my two years studying in the Digital Photography program at Niagara College and have applied it to my work as I photograph everything from still life to landscape, architecture and people. Being very active in the world of art, I have an imagination that helps me be creative in all that I do. I have grown to love many types of photography. I've offered photography workshops in which I taught well-structured lessons on the basics and the art of photography. Through it, I’ve helped those who attended understand the basics of photo taking as well as their own creative side. I've also sold my work at local fairs in the form of framed work, calendars and bookmarks. I participated in the Summer Company program in 2014 where I made a name for myself by creating my business J. K. Ribout Photography and furthered my knowledge in photography and business by completing the Started Company Program in Mississauga in 2016.
Now specializing in fine art landscape photography, I am located in the Toronto area to further expand my business and explore new opportunities.
