About me

J. J. Bentley has risen from the sea of professional photographers to capture not only nuances, but personal representations of the hard life, the good life, pain, sacrifice, grief, inner peace, and a temper refined in the crucible of the human experience. His pictures present a unique skill in identifying an entire personality through the squint of an eye, an empty stare, a knowing glance, a pronounced scar, a dirty face, or clean but uncut hair blown in the wind. J.J.'s work depicts a sincere sympathy for his subjects while portraying an expert ability to capture far more than a face. Knowing when to snap the shutter is what differentiates him from the everyday shutterbug.
