Hello! I am Jared Rodriguez, a Christian street photographer trying to tell stories from my images in the city of Chicago. In 2016, I began photography for fun and continue today as a freshman at Moody Bible Institute. I am passionate about photography and the creative process of shooting, editing, publishing and critiquing.

The year 2020 was a year no one expected, and some wanted to completely skip. However, I believe that the events that happened in 2020 was by no mistake. God has a purpose for everything that happens, even when it appears to be bad. 2020 was a year of significant growth in my photographic skill and social following. I give God the glory for those achievements. As a photographer, I love to capture the amazing bustling city that is Chicago. And the amazing nature that is God's creation!

As a Christian, I stand by fundamental beliefs that Jesus Christ, is the Son of God, and was brought down to earth as a sacrifice for our sins. I follow Christ today because he changed my life forever; I am no longer bound to my sin, but set free. Jesus always preached against sin, and proclaimed judgement to the nations for turning its back on God. I choose to believe in all of Jesus' teachings and prophecies.
