Jackie Pardue is a Texas-based visual artist and portrait photographer whose work explores the intersection of landscape, physicality, and human experience.
Jackie’s photographs and films are influenced by years of creative work and a deep connection to movement and the outdoors. Jackie’s visuals are able to blend editorial, fine art, and commercial imagery into work that recognizes underlying emotional truths, specializing in portraiture. Each piece becomes part of a larger dialogue about freedom, belonging, resilience, and honest connection. Jackie has a unique talent of connecting with the clients and models she works with, and the quality and ease of interaction is apparent in the images. Strong female characters and the American West are recurring themes within the body of her work - not as mythology, but as representations that continue to ask questions about identity, solitude, and possibility.
Jackie’s films have been official selections of the Portland Film Festival, Santa Fe Film Festival, San Antonio Film Festival, and more. Her work has been featured by Alamo Drafthouse, 4 x 5 Photo Fest, and Vogue Italia.
