One of Boston's most diverse photographers, Lou Jones specializes in photo illustration and location photography for corporate, advertising and collateral projects. His clients include Nike, Federal Express, KLM, Met Life and Fortune magazine.
Jones spent much time in the 1980s on CODELs (Congressional Delegations), photographing government, military and guerrilla leaders in Central America. The end of the decade brought a photo essay on Perestroika and the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 1990, the Museum of Afro-American History commissioned Jones to document women of success and influence. The resulting exhibition, "Sojourner's Daughters," was highly acclaimed by the fine art community.
Jones's images have been exhibited in galleries throughout the country, including the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York City and the Museum of Afro-American History in Boston.
Among his personal photographic projects is a five-year odyssey documenting men and women on death rows in the U.S.
