JEHANNE, The Professional
Jehanne is a professional food and lifestyle photographer based in Trinidad & Tobago, available internationally.
She lived in Toronto for five years whilst obtaining her BFA in Photography Studies at Ryerson University, where she had the opportunity to work with companies like MorningStar Farms, Sweet Hart Kitchen, Unbaked Cake Co., Awai Kitchen and more.
After graduating with distinction in 2019, Jehanne returned to Trinidad where she began freelancing as a photographer and social media marketing consultant. Simultaneously she worked closely with the head of an Arts and Wellness program at the St. Jude's Home and School for Girls to mentor young women and help curate an online exhibition of their work within the program; a natural extension of her personal work that explores the human condition, trauma and storytelling through a variety of media.
She values working with brands and companies that are thoughtful from their concept through to the execution of their products, as she is extremely detail oriented and provides the same for her clientele through her work.
