A decade in the making, “Christmas In America” is an unvarnished examination of the ways people mark the holiday’s meaning.

Jesse’s series appeared in the Communication Arts Photo Annual, American Photography Annual, the Critical Mass Top 50, and the PDN Photo Annual. The work was also featured in the New York Times, Time Magazine, Wired, NPR, Buzzfeed, Fast Company, Esquire, The Guardian, Artsy, and Refinery 29.
