Jacquelyne Pierson is a photographer, director, and artist living and working in New York City.

Fifteen years after finding her way to New York, Jacquelyne continues to shape stories as a photographer and visual director through work that is honest, cinematic, and deeply grounded. She is especially drawn to the unscripted — capturing the quiet, fleeting magic of everyday life.

With nearly two decades of experience in photography, art direction, and visual storytelling, her work lives at the intersection of cultural reportage, editorial portraiture, music, film, and brand expression. She is drawn to people and the worlds they build — artists, musicians, writers, performers, and vibrant communities — capturing the small, unguarded moments that make an image feel truly alive.

As a multidisciplinary visual artist, her work moves fluidly from the initial spark of an idea to the final frame. She has led documentary assignments across South America, directed multi-platform campaigns for arts, media, and consumer brands, and collaborated with creative teams across disciplines. Whether directing a large-scale project or capturing a quiet portrait, her practice balances artistic instinct with rigorous preparation and deep trust — creating an open space for people to reveal themselves and for the unexpected to unfold.

Jacquelyne’s approach is guided by the mindfulness teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh and a profound appreciation for the present moment. She approaches every frame with patience, intuition, and an awareness of impermanence, honoring the transient beauty of everyday life before it shifts.

Beyond her commercial and editorial work, she invites viewers into her Meditations & Reveries — an ongoing visual canvas where unfiltered thoughts, observations, and raw bits of the everyday take root and breathe.

Today, Jacquelyne divides her time between her Brooklyn home and Dumbo art studio, where she lives and creates alongside her musician husband and their son, Rocky.
