Lucas Jackson

Lucas Jackson grew up on a remote cattle ranch near Quemado, NM with his parents and three siblings. He received a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR followed by spending several years as a commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska before beginning his career in journalism.

As a Reuters Senior Photographer based in New York, Jackson has a wide range of experience covering news events ranging from the Academy Awards to the aftermath of natural disasters. He has covered racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, the impacts of climate change on glaciers in Greenland, and the “forever wars” in Iraq and Afghanistan.

For the last several years Lucas has been working at Amazon as they work to level up the quality of imagery the company uses to communicate internally and externally. Working on marketing, paid campaigns, and communications teams in a corporate environment has shown the value that quality visuals and hiring competent photographers can have on corporate communications.
