About Jackson
Born in London and raised in the coastal town of Whitstable, Kent, I grew up surrounded by beauty and inspiration—elements that continue to fuel my creativity today. My heritage, being half Jamaican and half Scottish, instilled a deep appreciation for culture and diversity from a young age. I’ve always found myself drawn back to London, captivated by its dynamic energy, the blend of cultures, and the endless vibrancy that fills the streets.
Street Photography
By the age of 17, I returned to London, where I immersed myself in music, arts, and, eventually, photography. For the past 20 years, I’ve been behind the lens, but it’s in the last decade that photography has truly become my passion and profession. Street photography is where I’ve found my voice—capturing fleeting moments, raw emotions, and the rhythm of everyday life in the city. I’m particularly drawn to black-and-white photography for the timeless, almost vintage quality it brings to an image, allowing me to freeze moments with a sense of nostalgia and depth.
Black and white
While street photography is my focus, I’m now exploring editorial and fashion photography—an extension of my long-standing interest in style and design. Though I initially considered pursuing a fashion degree, life led me down other creative paths. Now, I’m excited to channel that passion into my work, blending art, culture, and fashion to tell new stories.

For me, photography is more than a profession—it's a way of seeing and engaging with the world. Every shot is a conversation, a snapshot of life’s textures, colors, and stories. I’m thrilled to share my journey with you through the lens.
