About

Born and raised in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, Jakob Barnett has had a passion for the digital creative world since elementary school. What started as a love for films would later transform into a devotion to photography in his high school years. Beginning as a sport photographer in freshman year, Jakob has expanded his practice into portraiture and editorial photography. Jakob looks forward to continuing to grow his photographic practice as his time at NYU as a class of 2029 photography major and beyond.
