J.N. Silva is a talented self-taught photographer and educator who currently lives and works in West New York, New Jersey, US. I started to study computer programming in college, until I became aware of a deep-rooted hatred for math that lingered inside, so I switched to a double major in English and Philosophy, he says. Silva shoots a lot of incredible street photographs of the city through harsh light and contrast.
"I began taking pictures as a way of making keepsakes for myself. My memory is terrible, and photography has the magical effect of instilling in me where I was, and more importantly, how I felt when I pressed that shutter button. The feeling I get from seeing people enjoy my photography is indescribable.
Music is my escape from my own thoughts, and so I cherish it deeply. In a perfect world, I would be a godly drummer.
I started to study computer programming in college, until I became aware of a deep-rooted hatred for math that lingered inside, so I switched to a double major in English and Philosophy. That turned out to be the greatest decisions of my life, because it taught me to critically think for myself, and to cherish the truth above all."
