Jon Mecca is a photographer and visual storyteller based in New York City. He specializes in an array of genres; most notably, lifestyle and skateboarding photography.
Jon grew up in Pennsylvania; where he spent most of his days skateboarding with friends and being behind the lens, capturing slices of life in the environment around him, to which he credits as shaping him as an artist. What keeps him inspired is how much beauty and truth there is to capturing life, and sharing it in hopes that it can make others feel inspired or connected in some way.
