Jessica's life started as a child living in multiple countries and continents such as Beirut, London, Sri Lanka and Sweden and Paris. Jessica has divided her time presently between Sydney and the United States.
Born on a tropical island she lived in a house in an area with no lights for a long while - when the electric lights were finally turned on it was an event. As an adult Jessica was fascinated by the inventions of Thomas Edison and the light bulb when she visited the Smithsonian exhibit in Washing D.C.
These experiences led Jessica to be interested in Studio lighting and the work of photographers who have taken this light to mixing art and photography into a form of fine art.
Jessica's interest in photography evolved by studying and working in Paris she was lucky to be able to spend time in Museums such as the Louvre and exciting exhibitions that came through the city.
Although Jessica’s career started off in Politics and International Law working in Embassies, the United Nations and Ministerial areas, she followed her dream and currently Jessica is studying a Diploma of Photography at TAFE N.S.W where she is enjoying the company of inspirational and creative teachers and fellow students.
Jessica is drawn to photographers who shape light, color, geometry and art, to create artistic fashion photography in the early 19th Century, such as Erwin Blumenfeld and Horst P Horst, as well as Herb Ritts and Steven Meisel.
She is inspired to follow these influences in her work. Je
