Jessica Antola

Brooklyn-based photographer Jessica Antola moves with equal ease between Antarctica, Africa, and Central Asia. She inherited her love of travel from her mother, who is a frequent subject of Antola’s work. The short film My Mother’s Shangri-La celebrates her mother’s love for fashion, travel and beauty.

Colorful textiles are a central theme in Antola’s work: it can be found in abundance in her travel photography. It also carries into her commissioned and editorial work, for West Elm, Smithsonian, British Vogue, Condé Nast Traveler and Vanity Fair.
