About Dave Lawrence
Born and raised in Jackson, Michigan, creative professional and hobbyist photographer – that's me. My family lives in the Jackson city limits, and we're regulars around town.
My portrait projects focus on creativity in our community. I also enjoy photographing lots of other subjects, like abandoned buildings and small towns around Michigan.
You can find more of my work on my photo blog, Flickr, and Instagram.

About Musicians In Jackson
I like to focus on portraits of our community – the pros, the weirdos, the makers and creators. In 2015, I made a project called Artists In Jackson, focusing on local artists and creatives. It was my love letter to Jackson’s cultural community.
Thinking about a follow up to that project, music became the next logical subject. My wife and I are both musicians (she’s way better!), so profiling Jackson’s music scene seemed like a natural fit. We have a ton of great musicians here in town.
Musicians In Jackson features local musicians doing interesting things. Each of them represent a unique facet of our creative community, from musical theatre to rap to folk, and many styles and media channels in between.
Support this project by purchasing a book - and going out into the community to see our great musicians perform around town!
