Lauren Wells-Jones

~~ PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m an Adelaide-based photographer with years behind me across film, video, post-production, and now stills.

I’ve done a bit of everything over the years—from assisting directing on the set of The Babadook, to creating sync maps with zero audio for an episode of Shark Week, to wrangling endless hours of archival footage for feature documentaries. Commercially, I’ve worked across TVCs, ad campaigns, and in-house at creative agencies.

That mix of time on set and in the edit suite completely shapes how I operate today. I’m comfortable running a set, collaborating with a crew, and approaching photography with a curious understanding of how a story actually comes together.

These days, my main focus is documentary-style still photography. Whether I’m on assignment for international brands like Montréal’s Hiatus Golf or capturing projects closer to home, I love bringing the eye for detail, emotion, and rhythm that I traditionally found in the edit.
