Jake Chessum studied Graphic Design at St. Martins School Of Art, and started working as a 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 Jr’s “George” Magazine. Alongside shooting commissioned portraits and advertising assignments, Jake has always been a dedicated street photographer. He has published two books: The New York Look Book in association with New York Magazine (2007), and a self published book: Rubbish (2009). He is currently at work on a book of street photography taken while traveling to jobs around the world.
