Jade Cantwell
Photographer
My life is dominated by visual obsessions – lines, color, tone, shape, light and how these work together to tell a story and capture the intangible. I started learning about photography on my travels through Mexico, and the habit has been with me ever since – simultaneously comforting and tormenting me on my many journeys.
I am mostly self taught, although one teacher described my work as ‘brutal, sarcastic and artless’ – he meant it as a compliment.
