Gia Jones is a British film photographer, filmmaker and creative director based between London and Paris.

Working across fashion, music and portraiture, her practice explores youth culture, identity, performance and costume, with a particular interest in the relationship between fashion and music and the people who shape the scenes around them.

Jones works predominantly with analogue film, with black-and-white photography forming a central part of her visual language. She was initially drawn to film as a way to understand photography at its foundations, working directly with light, exposure, composition, and the physical process of image-making.

There is a documentary quality throughout her work. Jones is particularly interested in the people who make creative scenes what they are. By working within these environments rather than observing them from outside, she creates photographs that feel immediate and personal while retaining a clear editorial perspective.

Ultimately, Jones sees her photographs as a record of contemporary culture. Her interest in black-and-white film comes partly from its ability to remove an image from the immediacy of the present. She wants the photographs to exist beyond the moment they were made, as a visual archive of the people, fashion, music and culture of a particular time.

Her work has been published in Numéro Netherlands, Wonderland, Dazed, COLD and other independent publications and exhibited across London.
