Meet Cori

My art is photography, my photography is nighttime, nighttime is the calm time, a calm soul is a happy soul.

It is so great to meet you. I am Cori Jackson and I created Cojack Photography to share my nightscape photography art and show how the night sky can calm your soul. 

It is so amazing to see what cameras can capture in the night sky that even our eyes cannot see.

My Astro Photography shows some of that wonder of the Universe. What it really looks like, how we would see it if our eyes could see more.

The vastness of space, the colors, the movement of the Earth. It all works together to ground us and help us find balance in the crazy everyday that we call life.

This star therapy turns into my art, and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you. I invite you to go outside at night and look up, enjoy some star therapy yourself, and calm your soul.

For the last decade my energy has been spent as a support and mom to my family- husband, kid, 2 cats, and a dog. I enjoy hiking through the forest and exploring local parks with my dog, plus traveling and camping with my family as often as we get the chance. I am a crafty art lover; when I am not under the stars, I spend my free time crocheting, painting, and helping my husband with DIY house projects.

More recently, I delved into the realm of Astro Photography through The Night Photography Academy with Kristine Rose Photography. This was my gateway to capturing the wonders of starlit skies. Despite the demands of family life, nights spent photographing under the stars rekindled my artistic spirit. While I've always cherished the night sky, moon, and stars, this new skillset allowed me to craft fresh art that resonated with me, igniting a desire to share it with the world.

Cori Jackson, Night Photographer.

Cori earned her photography degree at a small community college during the transition from film to digital photography in Lansing, Michigan. It was a fantastic opportunity to experience both sides of the craft. Post-college, she worked as a preschool portrait and wedding photographer near Washington, D.C. before taking a turn to focus on her family.

Cori now lives in Dayton, Ohio. She is an alumni of The Night Photography Academy with Kristine Rose Photography, where she learned about Astro Photography as well as business fundamentals. Cori’s night photography work has been featured in several magazines, and admired by local parks where she seeks permission to photograph when most of the world sleeps.
