Jamie Isaia evokes mood and atmosphere in a color-saturated, expressive approach to photography. Though her images are thoughtfully scripted, they also contain unexpected and spontaneous elements. Jamie’ still photography is conceived in motion, naturally, with the evolution of the fashion film as a medium, Jamie has turned to moving pictures as a means of this expression in her creative and commercial work as well.
