Jade Martin Photography

My style is somewhat eerie, melancholic & nostalgic, spurred on by my interests in the supernatural & occult, old-style glamour & mythology – nevertheless not everything within my portfolio is ominous & brooding, a little colour here & there does me good.



If I happen to spark any sort of emotional reaction in anyone through my work – I’m satisfied.





"Jade Martin is a young emerging photographer hailing from Sydney's Western Suburbs.
She shoots women.
She captures these women in the strength of their fragility.
Stepping into her world it's impossible to miss the sharp edge".
- r o r s c h a c h   f a i l u r e





I currently reside in Sydney Australia – The Hills area to be more specific and have been an ardent photographer for the last six years. Shooting in Digital, now dabbling in film.
At the moment I am studying for my CERT IV in PhotoImaging & plan on continuing my studies next year (2010) to attain a Diploma in photography.





That being said, due to my busy study schedule paid work will have priority.
I am still open to shooting t.f.c.d however if I feel that you are suitable for a concept I have in mind.

Please don't be afraid to approach me - all shapes, sizes & levels of experience are welcome - I’m particularly fond of those whom are willing to create something out of the norm.

And I stress, don’t be offended if I do not reply immediately.  Eventually I’ll respond
