Photography

JAJA Visual

Andy, our lead photographer, founded JAJA to put heart, soul and humanity into commercial photography.

I believe creativity comes from who we are, and therefore, that we’re all creative. I found my passion for creativity at school, through art and design classes that gave me a chance to express myself, free of the pressure that came with more academic subjects.

I took a road less travelled but the artist within never left me and my love of photography grew and grew to become my career.

Photography awakened my soul and that’s why I want to help others do the same. From brands with purpose and passion who want to go beyond their image and say something that truly matters, to young people who deserve the opportunity to express their creativity and travel their own road.

My story makes JAJA who we are – open, honest, straightforward and fun. We love photography with all our being, but we love people even more. Because creativity comes from who we are. Each and every one of us.
