After a short-lived tenure as a middle school English teacher and athletic coach, Millsaps College graduate Will Jacks finally settled into a career as a photographer. After finishing journalism graduate studies at the University of Mississippi in 1996, he returned to his hometown of Cleveland, MS and opened a photography studio. Eventually that grew to also serve as a regional photo gallery, and in September 2013 Time Magazine recognized its Eudora Welty exhibit as one of the top thirty ways in the world to experience photography offline.

His first monograph documents the juke-joint Po’ Monkey’s Lounge, and has been selected by University Press of Mississippi to be published in 2017.

Currently Will lives in Cleveland and New Orleans with his wife, Jamie, and their two dogs, while working as a freelance photographer / multimedia storyteller. He works very closely with the Delta Center for Culture and Learning, which involves development of the International Delta Blues Project and the Mississippi Delta National Heritage Area.

He teaches documentary-based photography classes in the art department at Delta State University and photojournalism/multimedia courses in the Meek School of Journalism at the University of Mississippi
