About the artist

Dy Jonathan

United States

Jonathan Dy (1980, Windsor, Ontario) is a self-taught photographer with a background in oil painting. His gritty hometown of Windsor and nearby Detroit shaped his artistic vision. His books include I NEED TO SEE YOU (2013), focusing on portraits of artists and musicians, and EYE ON THE GROUND (2021), dedicated to water reflections. Dy views photography as a tool to measure chaos, aiming to create photos that feel like paintings, rich in color and complexity. His recent work explores multiple exposures and the theme of "falling," symbolizing both peril and progress.
