Capturing images through passion.
The Fascination
A frozen moment in time, printed on paper. There lies a story, emotion, access to forgotten memories…
The Passion
A love of the ocean, nature, and the outdoors. If I could be someone else, it would be Sir David Attenborough.
People
Amazing backgrounds, fascinating stories, different perspectives. Mix fascination, passion, and people… Ready. Release the shutter.
Return of Kindness (ROK)
I like to give something back. 10% of all print sales go to a select few causes. Customers can decide which they prefer:
- Sea Shepard Australia
- The Ocean Cleanup
- Parley for the Oceans
- Take 3 for the Sea
When I travel, I’m always on the lookout for a means to help those less fortunate who are trying to do the right thing environmentally. That’s why I volunteer my photography and web development skills to bring these small businesses online. Read more about my volunteering.
Not a fan of plastic
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Plenty more on this on my dedicated plastic page.
History
I launched Jakob de Zwart Event and Portrait Photography in 2009. Event photography is still core to the business. I was born and raised in Sydney and was fortunate enough to call Clovelly home for a long time. In following my heart and passions, these days Byron Bay is the place I currently call home.
