Who am I?
“Photography has been a constant source of inspiration for me; recently, it has become a way to express my creativity. Now, I’m bringing it together with my lifelong love for writing.”
My name is Jennifer Gile, and I’m a opportunistic photographer. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest for most of my life, but I’ve spent stretches of my lived-so-far young adult life living abroad in Spain, Japan, Australia, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Hawai’i, and Germany (which feels strange for me to write out, truth be told).
I mainly do nature and travel photography, but I’d call my ‘true photography style,’ opportunistic photography. I’ve got a naturally curious soul that’s pretty romantic at heart, so I enthusiastically wander wherever my soul tugs me. Combined with my sensitive nature and decades-trained natural eye for perspectives, I pick up on some really cool sights (speaking from an entirely biased perspective~).
I’m at a fluid point in my life, so this felt like a solid outlet for me to grow into as a person and a photographer - should the cards play out that way.
Reclaiming positivity for the world through curiosity and embracing each moment.
