Biography

Jennifer Moore is an award-winning, Chicago-based fine art photographer, digital artist, educator, and curator whose work blends intimacy with imagination. Her photographs have been exhibited nationally and internationally and have appeared on the covers of several books of poetry. Through staged imagery, symbolism, and visual metaphor, she explores relationships, motherhood, womanhood, memory, and grief.

Equally at home in the darkroom and behind a digital screen, Moore works across film and digital photography, with a particular devotion to medium-format film. She is drawn to the slower, intentional process of analog image-making—one that deepens her connection to craft, expands her visual storytelling, and informs her digital work. As a master of Photoshop and digital archival printing, she brings the same level of precision and care to her digital workflow as she does to her darkroom practice. She also experiments with hands-on techniques such as Salt Printing and Cyanotypes and continues to seek new ways to evoke emotion through light, texture, and narrative.

With over a decade of teaching experience, she has led courses in Digital and Film Photography, Advanced Darkroom Techniques, Location Lighting, Advanced Alternative Photographic Processes, History of Photography, and Art History at institutions including Lewis University, the University of St. Francis, Governors State University, the Illinois Institute of Art, and Doña Ana Community College, NM. Moore is committed to helping students think critically, take creative risks, and develop their own artistic voice.

She lives in a quiet Chicago suburb with her husband and two English Black Labs, Dexter and Francis.
