J.J. Bentley: J. J. Bentley has risen from the sea of professional photographers to capture not only nuances, but personal representations of the hard life, the good life, pain, sacrifice, grief, inner peace, and a temper refined in the crucible of the human experience. His pictures present a unique skill in identifying an entire personality through the squint of an eye, an empty stare, a knowing glance, a pronounced scar, a dirty face, or clean but uncut hair blown in the wind.

Bentley’s work depicts a sincere sympathy for his subjects while portraying an expert ability to capture far more than a face. Knowing when to snap the shutter is what differentiates him from the everyday shutterbug. Waiting for that eye glimmer, cocking of the mouth, pursing of the lips, the shadow that allows the natural lighting to accentuate the mood, all contribute to the awesomeness of the final product –that is a gift.

J. J. Bentley’s photographs speak for themselves and require no explanation as to their story. Each viewer takes away his or her own interpretation. A dirty face, rotten teeth, thick and debilitating cataracts, or deep beauty, quaffed perfection, or deep grooved life-lines accented by unmistakable fear, distrust, or resignation accent his work.
