personal bio
Growing up I had the privilege of traveling all over the world. Before entering high school I traveled to 23 countries in four continents and after high school I’ve been able to add several more countries and two more continents to that list. Being able to see and experience the different parts of God’s creation has given me a permanent appreciation and love for it.
My interest in photography started when I picked up my dad’s old 35mm camera (Praktica) and thought, “I need to learn how to use this.” I took a photography class in high school where I was educated on the art and technical aspects of photography. The next year I purchased my first SLR (Canon Rebel G) and returned to the second photography class. I've been hooked ever since.
Photography has always been an avocation of mine as I graduated college with a degree in Network and Communications Management in 2005 and am currently working in that field. When I’m not working my day job, I enjoy being in the outdoors — both rural areas and major cities. I currently live in the Denver, Colorado area and look forward to delivering more pictures of this beautiful state as well as those which surround it.

Any prints ordered from Jon LaBass Photography will be inspected prior to shipment. I only sign those prints which pass my inspection for any incorrect colors or blemishes so when you see my signature on your print you can be confident you have received an approved print. However, if for some reason you are not satisfied with the print quality of your print, you may send it back to me for a replacement or full refund.
