Shannon Jackson

The work happening behind the camera lends applause to some of the greatest artistry. Filmmaking is where this Milwaukee, WI bred artist found a place for his fingerprint to belong and matter. With a camera in hand, sound fashion and ponytailed locs, Shannon Jackson of Defined Aesthetics has found his voice. Fortunate to have found an artistic marriage of both convenience and gifting, his passion and discipline for this medium was birthed from the needs of the church. Storytelling does not simply interest him, Storytelling is a foundational aspect of his being - both nurture and nature - whether through documentary filmmaking or narrative shorts. At the intersection of art and its imitation of life, Shannon pieces together the human experience, colors storylines and angles magnificent moments in time.
