About Jon Frederick Lead Photographer
Hi, my name is Jon Frederick, lead photographer for Seven11. I am also blessed to be an article contributor and co-author of Immersion-An Inspirational Christian Photography Collection. I cannot remember when I fell in love with photography. Honestly, I cannot remember a time I didn’t have a camera in my hands. I’ve spent most of my life traveling around the world with a camera and a journal. I have even worked professionally on both sides of the camera. But I am most comfortable behind the lens creating conceptual art. Being a photographer for Seven11 is my absolute passion!
Before Seven11, I was a multi-internationally published freelance photographer. There I gained experience in dozens of fields and specialties before finding my true passion in making faith-inspired artwork. God is an amazing artist and I love capturing His masterpieces. At one time, I thought nothing would top that feeling of seeing my artwork hanging on a gallery wall. Since those days my work has exhibited in major cities across six continents. However, nothing compares to capturing an image that brings someone closer to God. I know this is my purpose, it is what I am meant to do.

Personal Life
I attended the University of Alabama for 2 years before putting school on hold. At that point I joined the US Navy and traveled around the world. After the Navy, I returned to Huntsville, AL to complete my degree in Experimental Psychology. But more importantly, I met my beautiful wife, Kathleen.
Together, we are taking life moment-by-moment with our two sons, JP and Charlie. We live in Newnan, GA and couldn’t be happier with how God has blessed us. For that reason, I turned from the path photography was leading and gave it to God to use. I’ve never looked back.
