JD Merryweather, predominantly an architectural photographer, has been shooting for over 35 years. Today, his focus has shifted to photography that is inspired by his passion for travel. When visiting a location, his eye is still drawn to architectural forms, but he also incorporates the identity of place in the images he produces. Whether a grain silo on the north Texas plains, an abandoned housing project on the coast of Mexico, or a rainy street in Portugal – he captures the specific spirit of a location in his work.
Merryweather uses a variety of photographic mediums, including medium format films (the point and shoot Diana is a forever favorite), digital SLRs, and an ever increasing love of the compactness and abilities of the iPhone. He lives in Oklahoma City and spends as much time as possible moving around the planet to capture his view of far-off places.
