"Hiatt on a hill”- John Hiatt is the photography used for cover for the album "The Open Road."

 

Legendary photographer Jack Spencer is best known for his portraiture and scenes of the American South. His manipulated photographs, while reminiscent of paintings by American realist artist Edward Hopper, possess profound tranquility and spiritual presence. His images emphasize the human subject, the landscape, and the relationship between them. With a painter’s sensibility, Spencer uses meticulous darkroom processes, often painting and adding mixed-media glazes to his photographs. These techniques allow him to add a mythic and hyper-expressive quality to his images that the camera alone cannot produce. Spencer is best known for his “Apparitions” (2004), a series of over 75 magical realist portraits and landscapes influenced by the writings of Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel García Márquez. Jack Spencer is one of the most sought after fine art photographers in the world. His work is featured in the collections of Berkeley Museum of Art, Berkeley, CA; Birmingham Museum of Art, Birmingham, AL; The Brookings Institute, Fairfax, VA; Columbia Museum of Art, Columbia, SC; Emory University, Atlanta, GA; First Tennessee Bank, Lebanon, TN; Goldman Sachs & Company, Memphis, TN Greenville County Museum of Art, Greenville, SC; Houston Museum of Fine Art, Houston, TX; Lannan Foundation, Santa Fe, NM; Mississippi Museum of Art, Jackson, MS Morris Museum, Augusta, GA; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans, LA Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware, OH; Pearl Corporation, Tokyo, Japan; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, CA Sir Elton John Photography Collection, Atlanta, GA, and the Tennessee State Museum, Nashville, TN.
