biography

Jason graduated from Columbia University in 1991 with a degree in Art History and Jason currently lives in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and son.  When not traveling the world on assignment, Jason spends his free time renovating his new home and educating his son on the wonders of the world.

Jason’s first published book by Steidl in March 2007 “Artists, Portraits of Contemporary Artists Shot Throughout the World Over the Last 5 Years” has become a coveted collectors item. 

Steidl’s description for Artists: “For the past six years Jason Schmidt has photographed international contemporary artists in their studios, galleries, biennales, and wherever the artist happens to be making work.  More than a series of classic portraits, Schmidt’s insistence in photographing the artists at work or in their environments allows for an intimate glimpse into the creative processes behind the artworks themselves.  Additionally, in texts which accompany the photographs, the artists speak in their own words, putting themselves in the context of a particular place and within the larger picture of a personal body of work.  Artists documents the incredibly heterogeneous practices of contemporary artists today including painters (Ed Ruscha, Tracey Emin), photographers (Roe Ethridge, Andreas Gursky), video artists (Aida Ruilova, Doug Aitken), sculptors (Liz Larner, Marc Quinn), installation artists (Maurizio Cattelan, Gregor Schneider), and artists who defy the categorical imperative of medium (Matthew Barney, Sophie Calle, Paul McCarthy, Richard Prince).”

Jason’s next book, a sequel to “Artists” will be released in the autumn of 2012.
