Jade Stephens

About

Jade is an Australian adventure and lifestyle photographer now based in Europe. Her work reflects her love for nature and the outdoors, capturing moments in nature on analog and digital formats. Growing up camping and hiking in Australia, she has had a strong connection to land since childhood. A visually creative thinker and designer, photographing this connection was a natural extension of her passion. After documenting her hiking digitally, she picked up her dad’s old film camera to deepen her understanding of the discipline and “slow down” her shooting style. When the first roll came back, she was immediately hooked. Since then she has been happily hiking with several cameras packed in her rucksack to capture both formats. Not one to shy away from colours, her photography style is characterised by brightly lit scenes, high saturation and the classic nostalgic film style. A reflection of how she sees the world; just a big party of colour.
