About
Low Tek began semi-professional photography work at age 18, working for club and music event web and print publications. In August of 2000, Low co-founded and helped to launch JIVE Magazine (www.jivemagazine.com) where he has overseen all art and photography projects for this print and web publication. His work is known for its edgy, story-telling style, along with his eye for motion, interesting scenarios and situations captured on film. Low’s goal is to not just capture pretty faces and stylish clothes, but to spark the imagination.
