What is beauty to me?
Jonathan Ramirez is a fashion and fine art photographer from a small town in Illinois. When Jonathan discovered the world of fashion, he found himself enthralled with this new expressive world; he soon realized the confidence that comes with these kinds of clothes, and he’s always wanted to capture it. Jonathan would say he finds his inspiration mostly comes from Industrialism, Brutalism, and 60s-70s fashion, from the flower power hippie to the abrasive punk movement. Jonathan aims to change the worlds view on what we define beautiful with his fine art. Jonathan finds that the world he lives in is obsessed with people trying to become diamonds; unfortunately it’ll never happen seeing as we’re human beings and not rocks. Jonathan thinks that if everyone could just relax for a second and just appreciate what you'd usually discard as ugly in both yourself and the world, you'd be a lot happier. Jonathan is a true believer in reality over perfection. Perfection is an idea. Not a goal.
