Bio

Jodie James is an innovative and creative commercial and editorial photographer with a mission: to tell authentic brand stories through the power of imagery.

Hailing from a marketing and commercial background, she has a deep understanding of the client’s perspective and is dedicated to using the visual medium to find a creative and unexpected point of difference that allows a brand to cut through its competition.

By quickly becoming a part of your team - and not being scared to get her hands dirty(!) - Jodie captures those transitional, fluid and often unnoticed moments of a shoot. It is these hidden narratives that breathe emotion into her imagery and enables her work to have a raw and credible edge.

Boasting one of the world’s most impressive natural landscapes as her office, she lives and works in beautiful Wanaka in the South Island. It's this unique location that offers endless opportunities for adventures and the perfect backdrop for incredible new perspectives to your brand photography.
