Jake Campbell is a Byron Bay based photographer who specialises in candid portraiture, documenting family life, weddings, and events. He operates in Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland, Australia.
One of the aspects of my life that I cherish most, is the way that I am able to capture it with photography.
I am excited to offer you my vision as a photographer and help to preserve the special moments in your life.
My work is made using film, I use film because I love the way that it looks and feels.
I work in a documentary style, aiming to capture real life as it happens. I offer guidance in my process too where its welcome but like to start somewhere real and build from there.
My goal is to make photos that reveal the true nature of my subjects. It is through genuine connection and cultivation of presence and authenticity that this is possible.
I offer various packages for family photography, wedding photography and event photography.
I operate in Byron Bay, on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane, Australia.
I appreciate your interest in my work and look forward to hearing from you via my contact page.
Reviews
“Jake came to our home and captured our family exactly as we are, nothing felt forced or overly posed.
As parents, time seems to pass so quickly and Jake captured this season of life with our little boy in such a beautiful, honest way. These aren’t just photos, they’re memories we’ll look back on for decades. The film photos have such a timeless quality and I know they’ll be something we’ll treasure forever.
The entire experience was so easy and relaxed. We received the photos so quickly and the online gallery made the album incredibly easy to view and save.
If you’re looking for someone who can capture authentic, meaningful memories we can’t recommend Jake highly enough.”

“Highly recommend. Couldn’t be happier with the final results of having Jake document our whole weekend. The images shot on film captured such authentic moments and have a vibe to them that really makes them very unique & special. Jake seamlessly fit into the inner circle of family and friends, making the whole experience super comfortable & fun.”

“I can’t recommend working with Jake enough! We were lucky to have Jake capture our family for the afternoon and we couldn’t be happier with the incredible images (ones we will hold closely forever). The whole process felt extremely natural and Jake’s warm and relaxed presence made us all feel so comfortable. His incredible eye left us with the most special moments so if you’re looking to have your family captured I highly recommend Jake!”

“Two toddlers, two dogs, and two awkward adults. Jake encouraged us to go about our normal behaviour, which helped us to relax and allowed him to capture those natural, candid shots.
The final photos were incredible. There’s something special about the nostalgia of film. The photos instantly took me back to my own childhood photos - raw, unfiltered and perfectly imperfect.
They capture us perfectly. I could not be happier with the result.”

'“We had such a fun family photo session with Jake, and stunning photos we are so happy with.
Jake’s easy going nature makes the session feel nice and casual with 0 pressure. He was able to capture beautiful photos of our family and we all just felt so comfortable during the session (even our 3YO who doesn’t normally take to people too quickly, Jake had him smiling in no time)
The vibe of the photos is exactly what I was after / very happy!”

“Wedding photos on film medium were a great choice and seemed to captures moments of authenticity that digital misses.
Jake was in all the right spots at all the right times. Super friendly and professional.
Got all the photos over to us in good time after the event. Happy with the outcome.”
