Leica V-Lux in hand, Tesauro keeps one eye on cheap tickets to far-flung places … and another in the range-finder.

Leica V-Lux in mano, Tesauro tiene d'occhio i biglietti economici per luoghi lontani… e un altro nel telemetro.

His first camera was a 1982 Kodak Disk 4000

But Tesauro’s never been a photographer. That term implies F-stop fluency and dark room proficiency. From the beginning, Tesauro leaned into the camera as a tool to support his storytelling. Eventually, editors trusted him to shoot his own images around the world. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Travel+Leisure, Esquire, Decanter, and others.

“You are more of a photographer then some of the people we have featured for shows in our gallery. To think for one moment you would doubt the reach and perception of your art just shows how humble you are. Jason, the range and impact of your work has more then earned your title as a rising photographer no air quotes required.

Sei più un fotografo di alcune delle persone che abbiamo presentato per le mostre nella nostra galleria. Pensare anche solo per un attimo di dubitare della portata e della percezione della tua arte dimostra quanto sei umile. Jason, la varietà e l’impatto del tuo lavoro ti hanno fatto guadagnare il titolo di fotografo emergente, senza bisogno di citazioni aeree.”
