Week Half Term

Lara Jade

Born in Staffordshire, England. Lara Jade first picked up a camera at the early age of fourteen – influenced by self-portraiture and conceptual photography. Growing up with the rise of social media and digital techniques enabled Lara to see the bigger picture of an international industry. After graduating college she made the move to London, where she naturally felt the transition to fashion photography. A couple of years later – she embarked on her first trip to New York and never looked back.

Lara enjoys creating timeless and emotive imagery. She is inspired by feminine strength, unique beauty and classic style.

She currently resides in Brooklyn, New York with her husband James and regularly travels for assignments, working between NY, LA and London.

Being equally comfortable in front of the lens has led to several TV and digital appearances – including Barney’s x Bvlgari, Emporio Armani, Longchamp, Karen Millen, Town & Country and Verizon. Features also include guest photographers on Poland’s Next Top Model and DigitalRev.

Here I also analysed on of her images in detail:

What works well in this image is the lighting and how it has highlighted her cheek bones, nose and bridge of her lip. This really draws you into the center of the image. What also worked really well is the style of composition that Lara has used to create this image. Her style of face only portraits really makes her stand out as a photographer. This image impractical is so detailed and has real meaning behind it but yet also still so plain and minimalist. The focus of the image is the models face in particular her eyes. It’s very neutral colored however the splash of purple sparkly makeup on her under eye really leads you into her eyes. I think this shows that the image is from a beauty shoot and that is promoting eye shadow makeup.The image is very striking and fierce and has this dramatic effect within it. This makes the model seem intimidating and empowering creating feminine strength which Lara is all about.
