enlighten,,, (announcement)

hello friends : )

after a year of preparation, i am at last on the verge of officially launching ENLIGHTEN, my photographer resource website.

we're going to be kicking it off at PhotoPlus in New York, October 23, 24 & 25 : ) come visit me and my friends at booth 1925!!! i'm right next to my buddies Jerry Ghionis & DQ.

my brand spanking new COLORSHIFT actions will be released and available for the first time at the trade show, in addition of course to my Fine Art Textures.

if you can't make it to the trade show, no worries : ) i'm aiming for a web release of COLORSHIFT the first week of November!

the actions have really been a labor of love, though i admit at times it felt a lot more like the former than the latter ; ) it is one thing to understand ones own inner workings, and quite another to put those inner workings into a format that others can understand, lol.

delving as deep as i have into my post processing and translating it has been a richly informative experience for which i am very grateful. it's also led to several more ideas which are now in pre-production : )

i look forward to sharing more soon, my awesome friends,,, thank you all for your love and support!

see you soon,,,

jesh ; )

p.s. we've still got some room if you want in on the experiential post processing seminar i'll be giving on Monday, October 27, from 7:00-9:00 ($95).

if you're interested, please send me an email at life (at) jeshderox.com with ''ENLIGHTEN: NY' as the subject.

lena & ted,,, (beloved)

hello amazing people,,,

i've been blessed to do many exciting things in the photography field, but my favorite is the new BELOVED project i began earlier this year.

i have a website in the works which will serve as a showcase for this new direction, and provide more insight into the whys of the project.

in the meantime, i'm proud to share a few images from a truly lovely couple i was blessed to work with this June in Florida.

Lena Hyde is a woman gifted in many ways, and getting to know her & her beautiful-hunk-of-a-man Ted has been a pleasure in the truest sense.

lena's smile lights up her face, and watching it break like a sunrise when Ted looks at her is a thing of beauty no one should miss.

you both have enriched my life! thank you for sharing your unique connection and love.

blessings,,,

things up my sleeves,,, (misc)

hmmm,,, so much has been going on, hard to know where to start!

i suppose it is most important to start by saying thank you to my family and friends.

i deeply appreciate and love you more than i could ever tell. the best i can do is to live in such a way as their can be no doubt.


coming soon:


BELOVED goodness,
Wedding Collections,
exciting news about Amy Seeley,
ColorShift Actions,
Fine Art Textures II: Expansion,
2009 north american tour dates,
2009 european tour dates,
Jesh de Rox: ENLIGHTEN debuting at PhotoPlus NY,
a book (so excited!),
3 new websites,
the soundtrack of my life,
Upward Spiral,,,
and as ever: lots and lots of love.


so much travel makes keeping up an adventure all on its own. i look forward to the new journal, which will likely inspire me to share more often.

i've been loving Twitter lately, so in the meantime, you're welcome to check me out there : )

many blessings my amazing friends,,,

jesh : )

p.s. i have delayed posting images as much as possible to save them for the new journal (which has been cooking for some time). but it's been a longer cook than expected, and i think i just might have to start sharing some of the loveliness to ease the presha.

the image above is from the soon-to-be-featured BELOVED session of the incredible Lena Hyde : )

WORDS FROM PARTICIPANTS:


"Yes, you will walk away with new, amazing tools for shooting and processing your work.  

Yes, you will walk away with the staggering realization of exactly how to draw out the raw, usually untapped emotion that your clients already possess (a talent that of course translates directly to you producing more powerful and satisfying work).  

And, yes, you will recognize that just spending three very focused days with Jesh de Rox is a gift in and of itself.  Truly.

But the thing about life (as an artform) is this:  you get to see, feel and actually become the artform by simply committing to this wonderfully innovative program.  And you get to keep that awareness for the rest of your life.  

So what you're really walking away with is this beautiful sense of wonder at the fact that, from this point forward, you can do ... well, just about anything."   - Tamara Lackey


"The workshop was truly life-changing. I learned more than I ever could have imagined, and created lifelong friendships. I am a better person for having attended it."
- Amanda Padgham


"Thank you for reawakening my love for this life i have chosen. I don’t know how to thank you for the gift you have given me, but know that I carry you and every single person that sat in that room in my heart where you will always stay."
- Sarah Maren
