BIO
Hi, Hello
I'm Jade
A multidisciplinary creative, working through photography, video, art and outdoor experiences. Based among the rolling green hills of the Peak District, UK.
I grew up in the Devon countryside, to creative parents: a model maker and artist, and an architect and painter. Making things and looking closely at the world was simply how our house worked. I've always had many passions and loves, and I soon found they were interwoven, each one feeding the others. Rather than separating everything out into neat boxes, I've decided to bring my practice together in one place. The same threads run through everything I do.
I've worked with grassroots organisations and global NGOs, community groups and Olympic athletes, family-run businesses and leading outdoor brands. The scale changes, but what I bring doesn't. I pay attention, I take care of the people I'm working with, and I come to every project with curiosity.
Away from work, you'll find me at the allotment with soil under my nails, watching the seasons turn one row at a time. Or out on the hills and moors, walking, cycling and camping, in all weathers, usually with my dog Orca at my heels. Whenever I can, I'm in or by the sea, swimming, diving or simply watching the waves.
Services
(1) Photography
Documentary, editorial, commercial, brand and campaign work, shot by someone who’s spent over 10 years directing and photographing real people. I’m a specialist in outdoor and people-led content. I’m used to working in wild and often remote places. I read light, weather and landscape well, and I’m comfortable in everything from snowstorms to sea spray.
I also produce most of my own shoots. That covers location scouting, casting, art direction and logistics, through to post-production and delivery. One person to talk to, from first idea to final files.
(2) Creative Direction & Campaign Development
From the first spark of an idea to final delivery. I often help shape campaigns from the start: pitching, storyboarding and building visuals that feel honest and aspirational. You can bring me in early to shape the idea, or later to bring it to life.
(3) Short Form Documentary Video
Stories told in people’s own voices. I share their truths and honour their perspectives, and I look after the whole process: ideation, story research, writing, interviewing, directing, production and editing. The films work for brand stories, NGO and charity campaigns, social, and community projects.
(4) Portraiture
On location or in the studio, for people who are passionate about what they do: communities and people, outdoor and adventure, science and nature. I’m passionate about passionate people. Dedicated, called to what they do, and contagious with it. It’s always a joy to get a glimpse into your world, and my job is to make the photograph feel like you.
(5) Event Coverage
Outdoor events and races: cycling, running and everything in between. I’m particularly interested in documenting events that celebrate and empower women and minority groups. I stay close to the action and capture the effort, the nerves, the finish line and the people cheering everyone on.
(6) Wedding Coverage
Every wedding is its own small world: people who love you, gathered in one place to say so. I’m not there to direct it. I’m there to notice it. The glances in between, the terrible dance moves, the moments nobody was performing for.
I work quietly and shoot on both film and digital. Film slows time down for the quieter moments and portraits, and digital keeps pace with the hugs and the dance floor. The photographs are documentary at heart, warm, colourful and a little wild, and I hope they feel less like a record of your day and more like a way back into it.
(7) Illustration
Hand-drawn illustrations that communicate your idea visually. I split my time between work for commercial brands and my own print collection. You can commission a custom piece, license an existing illustration, or buy a print.
(8) Image Licensing
Need real imagery without commissioning a shoot? My photography is available to license for documentary, editorial, marketing and commercial projects. It’s shot in real places with real people, so it feels honest rather than stock. Tell me what you need and where it will be used, and I’ll put a licence together.
