About

Jason Hobbs is a photographer who lives in east London. He holds an undergraduate degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in social anthropology.

He took up photography after completing his master’s degree as a creative outlet, but after discovering the work of Henri Cartier Bresson he realised the anthropological possibilities within photography and so decided to move in the direction of documentary photography.

The limitation of purely descriptive photography have become increasingly apparent and after attending a workshop with Alex Majoli Jason has introduced a more expressive narrative element to his work. He also wishes to be free of the constraints which come with having a definite ‘style’ preferring to develop an ‘attitude’ to each subject and then work instinctively. He is currently working on a project that displays another change in ‘attitude’ this time towards the conceptual. This project uses photographs in a cumulative manor; in doing so the importance and dominance of the outstanding picture is removed allowing the work to be taken in a whole. He feels that the most interesting work is that which has its own obscure coherence. The work must not only inform the viewer but also asks questions of them; it is within this relationship that the viewer can find their own meaning in the photograph.

Canon Raw and Jpeg files

Hi folks,

I’ve been shooting with a Canon 5D for quite a while now, using the Raw & Large Jpeg setting. I’ve noticed that there is a marked difference between the two files. The colour in the Jpeg is generally much more vibrant than the Raw file.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas on how to rectify it? I’ve tried colour matching in photoshop, but it’s not quite right.

Got any thoughts?

Thanks, Jason.
