Photographer Overview
Portrait photographer Jay Brooks originally studied Film & TV Set Design but truly fell for photography after a road trip across America.
His graphic, cinematic style and atmospheric lighting has made him a popular choice across the worlds of film, television and theatre producing key art and promotional imagery for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Sky, HBO, Discovery, Channel 4 and the BBC.
His characterful celebrity portraiture has graced the pages of some of the UK’s most respected publications including Vanity Fair, The Guardian Saturday Magazine, Wired and Times Magazine.
Despite being kept busy with such a varied raft of commissions, Jay still finds time to work on his personal projects: his series on Britain's very first youth culture, the teddy boys, continues to gather pace.
Jay is also proud to currently have four portraits in the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery.
