A native of Point Pleasant and current resident of Huntington West Virginia, Jesse Thornton was inspired to pick up a camera as a simple excuse to get out of his comfort zone, travel more and document his journeys. Jesse quickly became obsessive about the art of photography and addicted to chasing down the adventures that were born from that obsession. Mr. Thornton says “ there's nothing more gratifying to me than finding that rarely glimpsed scenic vista painted with warm, late evening light; or a lonely, forgotten night sky untouched by artificial lights. I've seen quite a bit of the country through my camera, but nothing makes me more inspired and motivated than capturing my home state of West Virginia.”
