bio
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.
Though Tremp has attended the odd photography class here and there, she is almost entirely self-taught.
She prefers to shoot in natural light which she feels gives her the freedom to shoot more spontaneously and organically. 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 focuses on relationships between self and space or humans and animals. She tries to blur the boundaries not only between species, but also between the beautiful and the eerie,
comfort and fear, submission and dominance, finding moments of hope, connection and trust in a nature that seems to slip through your fingers.Her inspiration is drawn 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 somewhere deep inside that we all feel is there but can never quite put words to.

statement
These series of portraits are ones of comfort and fear, loneliness and connection, submission and dominance in a world of ambiguous narratives, leaving behind a kind of emotional authenticity rather than a literal accuracy and finding moments of hope and trust in the unusual.
