Jess Ankney

Howdy! I’m a videographer and photographer, and a multimedia journalism student at Virginia Tech.

I bought my first camera at 12 years old after mowing lawns all summer. Since then, my goal has been simple: capture events faithfully and make sure the final result feels meaningful to the people who lived it.

Every project is different, but the goal is always the same: To capture something real.
