Born and raised in Rapid City and the Black Hills, Jason Pfitzer developed an early appreciation for the beauty of South Dakota and the Midwest. Now based in Sioux Falls, his photography is guided by the belief that beauty exists everywhere. Every photograph is a celebration of life's moments, people, and places that have shaped Jason's artistic journey. Jason says, "As a self-taught artist, I continue to learn and grow with every photograph I take. My greatest hope is that my work brings joy, sparks a memory, or simply brings a smile to those who see it." His art gallery in Sioux Falls celebrates new and emerging artists.
