Jack Jacques (b. 1998) is a photographer whose work follows in the thematic and autofictional traditions of the late writer and photographer Hervé Guibert, who tragically died of AIDS in 1991. Jack uses photography to explore critical themes in the gay community such as isolation, loneliness, male image and the problems of modern-life through a romantic lens. He was exhibited in the group show Fragmented at The Holy Art gallery, London 2021. Last year he was a finalist in the International Photography Awards (IPA) Professional Film Portrait and Street Photography categories for the photograph On guard. He also received Honourable Mention awards at both the IPA 2021 and the Monochrome Photography Awards 2023, the latter in the Professional nude portrait category. Jack is currently developing his first solo exhibition. He was first published in the book The Moon and The Echo by Pilot Press 2020, and then in a set of literary books, Beyond Queer Words, short stories and poems by Beyond Words Publishing House 2022. He was published in issue 40 of The Adroit Journal. Jack works across Europe but predominantly in the cities of Paris, Berlin, London, and Edinburgh.
