Photography – Washington, D.C.

"Each image is different and I never begin working on a photo with a preconceived idea of what the finished product should look like, instead I let the image take the lead. I lean toward the bold bright and playful but not every image wants to go there with me." JRH is Jonathan Ray Howard the owner, lead designer and social media manager for JRH Graphics the Washington DC-based company he began last December after leaving an 18-year career with Barnes & Noble College.
