Jack Gescheidt

Jack Gescheidt, a professional photographer since 1988, was born and raised in and around the wilds of New York City and upstate New York by two professional photographer parents, Rae Russel and Alfred Gescheidt.

His commercial and editorial photography has appeared in hundreds of places: magazines, newspapers, books, calendars, posters, greeting cards and in advertising: http://www.JackPhoto.com

The TreeSpirit Project is his labor-of-love environmental art project begun, serendipitously, in 2003 as a collection of photographs depicting humans in communion with trees. Read how it began.

“TreeSpirit” combines Jack’s lifelong passions for nature, photography, people, writing, speaking and environmental advocacy. It is fueled by some of his most powerful childhood memories in the countryside: exploring streams and ponds, playing in fields and in the downpour of thunderstorms, and of course climbing trees.
