Story - Driven

photography

Living all over the world, I've seen many beautiful places and have met even more beautiful people. As an artist, I yearn to capture the universe's beauty. Much of my work is self-initiated. Focusing on exploring the overlap between photography and cinematography in portraiture. I enjoy capturing portraits of individuals in spaces and situations that feel liminal or 'just like a movie'.

My commission work primarily consists of my traditional portrait and event photography where I work to capture moments of joy and the raw emotions of the individuals there. 

Capturing photos isn't the only way I appreciate and worship the earth that we inhabit. Watercolor painting is another form of expression I enjoy doing to capture landscapes and architecture. Prints of these are available.I am currently working to capture candid moments of gatherings and events as well as pose portraiture that emulates cinematography.

Representation

As a LGBTQIA+ individual, there isn't enough positive representation of queer people or couples, especially not in Jayden's favorite films. This lack of representation extends to other groups based on race, nationality, appearance, and ability. This doesn’t reflect real life and doesn’t give diverse groups the option to see themselves or others like them represented in a cinematic light.


Jayden's mission is to represent their communities and others. As they should all be able to express themselves freely without fear.
