.
My name is Jerri Nagel, and I am from Cape Town, South Africa where I grew up and started my passion for photography.
I studied at ORMS Cape Town School of Photography, where I was taught extensively on every aspect of the photography medium. Since my graduation I have been assisting photographers, as well as building my own portfolio.

I have a massive passion for fashion and beauty photography, but always willing to gain knowledge on different types of photography. I am a very hardworking person, who stays dedicated to producing the best work possible with every job. I firmly believe you are only as good as your previous job, so you always need to strive for pushing yourself more.
I have participated in a few exhibitions at ORMS, as well as collaborated with designers and brands. I have knowledge on both studio, studio lighting and location based shoots, and can assist on both.

I would love the opportunity to assist you in your jobs, and help make it easier as well as learning from you.
My CV is on hand if you would like to request it.
