Jonathan Arthurs
Supporting Artist, Valley Truck Farms
Jonathan Arthurs passionately captures the beauty that exists throughout California, while seeking to create a positive visual representation of the Black community. He documents various facets of Black culture, from his artistic and poignant point of view. Jonathan is eager to collaborate with forward thinking artists and organizations that seek to showcase their own stories through commercial and fine art photography. He is the co-founder of Eclipse Spaces, a community darkroom and photo studio in San Bernardino. For the project, Jonathan photographed church portraits at St. Mark’s Baptist Church after Sunday services.
“Photographing portraits at St. Marks was such a humbling experience; Hearing about the history of my people and the significance of this place in the community was important to me. I’ve made lasting relationships here…”
