Beauty is a vital component to all forms of art, and for subjects and artists alike, finding that beauty is essential to creating brilliant work. Based in Dallas, TX, artist and photographer Jill Rasco specializes in creating photographic works to empower women and help them feel like the strong, powerful beings they are.Rasco has been making art all her life, but has been working professionally as a photographer for 20 years. She mainly specializes in pin-up photography.“There’s something so beautiful about capturing an individual in their raw form,” Rasco says. “I love the sense of empowerment when the subject sees their beauty through my eyes.”Over the course of the past 20 years, Rasco has built an impressive resume. Her work has been seen in different venues throughout DFW and she has even been featured in Creative Life Magazine and Bachelor Pad Magazine.“I don’t do it for the business aspect of it,” Rasco says. “I’ve always worked from my heart and my soul. Art has always been my passion. It’s my version of emotional takeaway.”As an artist, Rasco has a knack for finding art within everything, even in the spirits she drinks.“I really love the design of Kruto,” Rasco says. “It makes for an exciting new version of vodka.”For those who want to pursue art professionally, Rasco advises them to keep going and to never compare themselves to other artists.“Everyone has their own way of creating art,” Rasco says, “but it’s important to evolve as you go.”Check out Rasco’s work at jillrascophotography.com and follow her on Instagram at @jillrasco.
