HELLO I’M JESS
I’m a self-taught photographer. My adventure in the world of photography is intertwined with a decade-long career in the film industry. For years, photography has been more than a hobby; it’s been a canvas for my creative spirit. My artistic roots are deep, starting with painting and evolving into the art of photo editing. Each picture I take or edit is a celebration of joy and artistic expression.
I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work with friends and colleagues, creating professional headshots that not only capture their likeness but also their personality. My approach to photography is an extension of my love for art: to tell compelling stories and create lasting memories. I invite you to view the world through my eyes and my lens.
My love for photography ignited with a borrowed Canon and has been burning bright ever since. Initially capturing every moment and event with friends, I quickly found my niche in freezing dynamic action at parkour gatherings, showcasing the fluidity and strength of movement.
My passion for photography truly blossomed when I acquired my own camera. Being immersed in the film industry, I began taking my own headshots, gradually extending this service to newcomers in the field. Over a decade of experience has honed my skills, not just in capturing images, but in capturing aspirations and dreams.
How it Started
Today, as 'Shot by Jess', I embark on an exciting new chapter: launching my own business. This venture is more than just taking pictures; it's about crafting enduring memories and capturing the essence of who you are and the unique qualities you bring to the table.
My passion lies in bringing your vision to life, in creating images that are not only unique but truly captivating. I'm eager to collaborate with those who aspire to create extraordinary and memorable visuals.
As I forge ahead with 'Shot by Jess', I'm working towards not only honing my skills in traditional photography but also in expanding my horizons to include dynamic and imaginative genres like cosplay, travel, and event photography. My ultimate goal is to create a diverse portfolio that reflects the breadth of my creativity and the depth of my passion. In this journey, I'm committed to continuous learning and growth, aspiring to connect with a wide range of clients who share my enthusiasm for unique and powerful imagery.
Together, we can create not just photographs, but memories that endure and narratives that inspire. I look forward to every new project as a step towards achieving these aspirations, and I am excited about the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead.
