JAKE CHESSUM
Jake grew up in Croydon, South London. He studied Graphic Design at St. Martins School Of Art, and started working as photographer straight out of college. Assignments for The Face, Arena, and an early ad campaign for Neutrogena featuring a 16 year old Kate Moss followed. By 1995 Jake was regularly flying the Atlantic on assignment for JFK Jrs’ George Magazine. In 1999 he upped sticks and moved permanently to New York, where he still lives with his wife and family. Alongside shooting commissioned portraits and advertising assignments, Jake has always been a dedicated street photographer.

Jake recalls ” This was from April 1994. I flew from London to shoot at Mike D’s backyard and around G-Son Studios, their recording studio in Atwater Village that was complete with basketball court and half-pipe and the offices of Grand Royal. The shoot was the day after they had made the iconic “Sabotage” video and props and fake moustaches were lying around the office. They messed around with golf clubs and various gardening props that were around the place. It was spontaneous and silly, but worked out great.”
