Jean-Marcus Strole Photography

Jean-Marcus Strole, which is pronounced Shawn-Marcus for those who aren’t familiar with Scandinavian pronunciations, was born in the city of Uppsala, Sweden in 1977. His family decided to move to the land of opportunity when he was a child. Being that it is a little hard to support yourself at the tender young age of seven, he decided that he should probably move with them and see what the U.S. had to offer, besides a country where you have a 37% chance of becoming a cult member. Jean-Marcus started at the University of Washington in 1995 with a major in architecture. He quickly came to realize that architecture consisted of countless hours

in a dark room working to finish a single image. So instead he decided to switch over to photography so he could, spend countless hours trapped in a dark room working to finish a single image. Most people spend four years of their life trying to get their degree. But that wasn’t good enough for Jean-Marcus. He decided to become an overachiever and spend SEVEN years in college. Jean-Marcus has always valued his original and unique look at things. He is not a photographer that follows the trends like Instagram-styled purchased filters which will look outdated within a few years. He wants each image to look as timeless and unique as the moment.
