Jassy puts you instantly at ease. It's her way of being with you as she you photographs you. No longer subject and observer, you are just kind of spending time, chatting, whilst she photographs you. And she really sees you, in the way you want to be seen. Her unique eye captures essence; authentically and casually.
Like no one I know Jassy interrogates the ethics of a thing. She is a great mind and brings a truly original perspective to work and life. Her ethos is born from a value for justice, for care, for better working practices and the need for balance for all of us in increasingly challenging times. And she lives these values, sometimes at huge cost to herself, but with her integrity intact.
Eloquent, opinionated and observant, she writes with precision and beauty not dissimilar to her photographer's eye.
Jassy is beyond the predictable and humdrum.

Jassy thinks deeply and feels big. These things are visible and felt in her output. She's an critical observer with a wealth of research and learning giving her a rich well of ideas to pull from. She is unafraid to look directly at the complexities and contradictions of life.

Jassy creates extraordinary, unforgettable images through her sensitivity to people and place. Her skilled portraits of artists, makers and creatives alchemise an invisible exchange between people - creating space for a presence and strength that comes from attending to light and colour and the unique way that each of us meets the world with our face.
Each portrait is particular and particularly beautiful - revealing so much more than surface image. Even the faces of friends I know intimately somehow reveal themselves in news ways through her lens. I love, love her work!

Every time I get photos back from a shoot with Jassy, I'm ust as amazed as the first time I saw her wokr. It's impossible for me to get bored or used to what Jassy has to offer because every time she photographs, her vision is unique, creative and perfectly matched to the situation unfolding in front of her. Where's it's portaraiture of people, animals, landscapes, capturing movement or place, she manages to freeze unique moments in time that are worth more than a thousand words.
Jassy is professional, efficient, careful and intentional whilst she quietly makes moments into art. She beautifully mixes technical skills with an artistic vision to make pictures that I will look back on for the rest of my life. I couldn't recommend her work enough.

I have worked with Jassy on several occasions as a photographer. She has documented events that I have organised providing not just an account of what took place but beautiful imagery that has captured the essence of the events and the energy of the participants involved. She has also taken my own picture for professional use.
As an event photographer Jassy's presence is professional and considered. You are very often unaware that she is there, particularly ideal for live events were you want to keep disturbance to a minimum. She is incredibly personable and sets those she is photographing at ease immediately.
