About
Jon Orlando is an artist activist that uses photography to deepen our collective sense of humanity. He is an emerging artist who’s work asks us to not only recognize the urgency and necessity for a cultural transformation but also challenges us to relate to those he photographs on a deeply personal level as a means for providing us a space to acknowledge our own interconnectedness.
His current project, Warriors for Peace was recently accepted by the Blue Earth Alliance. Images from the series have been exhibited in group and solo shows throughout the US and recently won the Viewers Choice Award in the 2008 American Society of Media Photographers exhibit in conjunction with the Center for Fine Art Photography.

I’ve been working on a portrait series of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans for about 2 years now called Warriors for Peace- it focuses on the veterans who are working to end war and create peace. It looks deeply at the emotions and stories behind their resistance to war. I’m looking for feedback on the series and more importantly advice on distributing the series both in the editorial and fine art world. It has been shown in several group and solo shows but I haven’t really starting pushing it yet. I’m now nearing completion though so I’m looking to begin pushing it around and I don’t honestly have much of a clue where to go with it. You can see some of the series through my ls gallery- http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/slideshow/22998 or on my website here- http://jonorlandophoto.com/?page_id=17
Please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks much, Cheers- Jon O. www.jonorlandophoto.com
