Born in 1981, Jessica Tremp grew up in Switzerland before moving to Melbourne at the age of 18. She brought with her a love for theatrics, romanticism and nature and has started combining these with her growing passion for the art of photography a few years ago. She uses herself as a model in most of her images and prefers an organic, spontaneous and naturally lit approach to shooting.
She hopes her work may lead you into a world filled with drama, where she tries to tug at your heart strings or into a world of imagination and humor. She draws inspiration from Blues music, a bowl of spaghetti eaten alone, hugs, fights, the animal kingdom, uncomfortable social experiences, daydreaming of running with the wolves and from ‘that thing’ that we all feel is there but can never quite put words to, aiming to create an emotional authenticity with her work rather than a literal accuracy.
Her work has been featured in online and print magazines around the world including ‘Shots’ (America), Take, Fallen and Empty Magazine (Australia), Fine Art Photo Magazine (Germany).
She was one of the 5 finalists in the ’2010 Projections’ in the arts category for best emerging photographers in Australia and won Gold at the Paris ‘Prix de la Photographie’ in the portraiture/self portraiture section in 2011.
‘When I was little I used to dream about being a dancer or that I could fly and that I would learn to speak the language of the animals in the forest or that of the most dramatic actor. With the click of a finger I’ve found a way to make these things come true‘ Jessica Tremp.
