A little bit about Jake
“I’m from Sydney Australia, and grew my love for photography from the age of 17, carrying my camera around everywhere I went. I turned it into my career at the age of 19, and i’ve loved every minute of it.
Photography to me is about capturing moments. Capturing people, places and the memories of the present. I love portrait photography, because I find it more rewarding to capture the emotions and beauty of people around me.
I photograph for clubs and parties all over Sydney and Wollongong, connecting with the people to get the best shot. I find you get the best event photographs if you’re part of the event itself, getting involved in the celebrations and dancing, talking to everyone there and making them laugh. And that’s what I love. I pride myself on my ability to get along with complete strangers, treat them like your friend, and get to know them, rather than being some stranger with a camera.
I shoot with a Canon 6D, and switch between an f/4 24-105mm and an f/1.4 50mm, but I love spending the extra time getting the perfect composition for a photo rather than taking hundreds of photos and hoping for the best.“
