Jacob Black (1995) is a UK lens-based artist and photographer working in documentary. Through a passion for the social sciences and lens-based documentation, Jacob completed a BA in Politics (2018) and an MA in Photojournalism (2021).
Working with both analogue and digital, Jacob explores ideas of land and environment, drawing on myth and the human connection to personal surroundings and habitats. Jacob's work is often informed by the ambiguities within the photographic medium, exploring how darkroom abstractions and digital manipulation can create narrative in different forms of documentary storytelling.
