I’m Jane, a British artist and fine art photographer based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

I have always been fascinated by detail, colour and form. Originally trained in graphic design at Camberwell College of Arts, I worked as a designer in London and Amsterdam before photography gradually became a way of returning to the creative work I had always been drawn to.

I began working with macro photography because I was curious about what could be discovered by looking more closely. Flowers quickly became my subject. Something familiar from a distance becomes almost unrecognisable up close, a fold in a petal, a strong line, a fragment of colour or an unexpected texture.

The closer I look, the more I want to simplify. I isolate small parts of the flower and use light, depth of field and composition to reduce the image to its essential forms. My graphic design background continues to influence this process, particularly my interest in balance, negative space and strong, considered composition.

I’m drawn to the contrast between fragility and strength. Flowers are delicate and temporary, yet their structures can feel remarkably powerful. This balance between softness and strength has become an important part of how I see and photograph them.

The process itself is slow and deliberate. Spending time with a single flower has taught me to notice things I might otherwise miss. What began as a fascination with detail has become a way of looking more carefully and of finding simplicity within something complex.

I hope my photographs encourage that same curiosity: to pause, look a little closer, and discover something unexpected in something familiar.

My work has been recognised internationally, including finalist recognition in the Association of Photographers Emerging Talent Awards (2023), a Silver Award in the New York Photography Awards (2024), and third place in the IPA International Photo Awards, Fine Art Collage category (2025).
