About the Photographer
Jeff Ignatius has been taking pictures nearly all his life but only got serious about photography in his mid-40s (roughly 2016). He began selling his work in 2023 under the name Phase Change Photography.
Juried art exhibits: Rock Island Art Guild’s 43rd Fine Arts Exhibition (2024, Figge Art Museum, No-Defense Fence); It’s Fine. Everything is Fine (2024, Quad City Arts, Still Standing and Dazed and Confused).
Juried art fairs: Beaux Arts Fair, Davenport, Iowa (2024, 2025); Riverssance Festival of Fine Arts, Davenport, Iowa (2024, 2025); Dubuquefest, Dubuque, Iowa (2024, 2025).
Prior to becoming a professional photographer, he was primarily a writer. Some work can be found at his other websites: CultureSnob.net and Magnolia82.net.
About the Company Name
A phase change is a transition from one state to another – ice melting into liquid, steam rising from water.
Photography performs similarly dramatic transformations.
A swift bald eagle is frozen in flight, framed by the architecture of a dam.
A running dog becomes colorful blurs of energy.
A long exposure collects distant, sporadic lightning on Lake Superior as if it were a gorgeously violent storm.
The afternoon sun turns a school’s bland concrete into an exploration of light, shadow, line, shape, color, and texture.
Capturing the fleeting moment.
Distilling the feeling of an experience.
Twisting reality.
Pulling the extraordinary from the mundane.
This is the spirit of Phase Change Photography.
