About Jade Ferguson

It has once been said we do not remember days; we remember moments. And for as long as I can remember, I have been carrying a camera in an effort to capture these moments. 

I have always believed that to photograph a moment means to not only capture a subject in its natural state, but to preserve the emotion the experience creates. As a poetic and artistic expression of mine it has been my vision to capture images that facilitate time travel – a visceral return to the moment, long after its dissipation. This is the honour and privilege that the art of Photography bestows.

I have never subscribed to definition by category to represent my work. Instead I am called to capture Visual Poetry. Through a unique poetic perspective, I shoot performances, portraiture, publicity stills and have a growing body of personal work. My work is oftentimes available light based, and I shoot on both digital and film. I also enjoy shooting studio portraiture and I love to creatively collaborate with my clients. I have completed my Bachelor of Visual Arts majoring in Photography at QCA Griffith University.

My work has appeared in: The Courier Mail, The Australian, The Music, Limelight Magazine, The Conversation, The Creative Issue amongst others. In 2020 and 2021 respectively, my portraits of Dame Quentin Bryce and Amy Sheppard were selected as finalists in the Brisbane Portrait Prize and in 2021 my live music imagery was included in the Ballarat International Photo Biennale Number One / Gudinski exhibition in memory of the late Michael Gudinski.
