Working professionally as a fashion and product photographer based in London, UK, Jamie's artistic practice presents responses to man and self-altered spaces, using methods borrowed from commercial photography, online and tech culture, architecture and set-design and other various photographic genres - often using digital manipulation techniques to create subverted and constructed realities of his own.
Focusing on notions of object and place, ownership and the 'future idealised' space, he presents us with photographs that question where the boundaries of image making, commercial photography and fine art, lie - always asking questions of the medium itself, its limitations, power and allure.
In 2016 he completed his MA at the Cambridge School of Art, and has exhibited at two consecutive PhotoBlock events in London at the Truman Brewery as part of the 'PhotoMasters' exhibition. He was selected for Art:Language:Location 2015 and also won a year long mentorship for 2016 with 'Metro Imaging London'.
Fashion clients include: Jimmy Choo, Belstaff, Louisa Parris, Jigsaw, Miss Selfridge, Lucas Hugh
