About The JUMP Project

The JUMP Project is a travel/portraiture series in which Leyla Tatiana Rosario utilizes her camera to represent individuals expressing a high level of energy, happiness, strength, grace, and/or agility within their environment. The intention is to build an atmospheric visual record that will connect the viewer with subjects of various ethnicities and professions from urban to remote settings. Skewed from photographing current economic and political conflicts. Leyla works to capture a different perspective of life. This project is created in order to galvanize a country/city’s historical landmarks, architecture, landscapes, and to encourage the public to see a distinctive side of someone.

The vision is to exhibit a global collection of images that will convey the human elements, which define a person’s disposition and self-expression. This body of work is a growing thesis that dignifies the everyday luminary, such as our nurses, artists, herdsmen, activists, environmentalists, musicians, lawyers, teachers, students, children, etc. People living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Los Angeles, Hawaii, London, Morocco, New York, Philadelphia, Barcelona, and Seattle have been photographed. Leyla paves the avenue of curiosity with each picture, creating a cornerstone that will educate and ignite the audience’s interest in familiar and distant places. Where was this photo taken and how was it done?
