Hi, I’m Jason Plews, a photographer passionate about capturing authentic moments that tell compelling stories. My journey behind the lens began over three decades ago, documenting the vibrant British club scene of the late 1980s, from iconic venues like Dingwalls and The Camden Palace (now KOKO) to today’s dynamic festival culture, including Shambala, Secret Garden, Glastonbury and We Out Here. These experiences shaped my love for preserving the music culture of the time alongside the people and communities that brought it to life.

I’ve worked with globally recognised brands and other creative hubs throughout my career. My work spans diverse genres: reportage, events, lifestyle, travel, portraiture, and long-form narratives. A key focus of my photography has always been documenting people from all backgrounds, highlighting the rich diversity and shared humanity that defines our world. I’m drawn to the layers of humanity in every scene, whether it’s the vibrant streets of Manama Souk during Holi celebrations or the energy of London’s music venues during the rise of many defining sounds of the era.

I’m currently based in both London and Sheffield, and my work takes me around the world. I have extensive experience documenting the cultural transformation occurring in Saudi Arabia, capturing the dynamic shifts in art, society, and tradition as the nation embraces change while honouring its rich heritage. Each image I create aims to evoke a connection—whether through the joy of shared experience, the beauty of a fleeting moment, or the quiet power of storytelling. For me, photography is not just about capturing an image but about celebrating the essence of people, places, and emotions.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m actively pursuing initiatives to nurture the next generation of visual storytellers, inspired by my belief in the power of art to transform and unite. I’m also working on new projects and collaborations that push the boundaries of creative expression.

Let’s connect and create something meaningful together.
