Jada Parrish

I am Jada Parrish...1/2 of Jada + David. My husband David and I combine set design and photography to create colorful, surreal photos that stand out for musicians, designers, brands, and more. For nearly a decade, we worked as wedding and portrait photographers before making a major career pivot that allowed our creativity to flourish in the studio. In 2020, we began building sets for our photoshoots, which led to our 100 Set Project in 2021. Over the course of that year, we built 100 sets and photographed 100 shoots, transforming the trajectory of our careers.

Today, we specialize in creating custom sets for both personal and client projects. Using plywood, paint, and light, we create surreal spaces filled with bold colors and optical illusions, blurring the line between reality and the surreal.

Each of our shoots tells a story, evoking powerful emotions and complex ideas. We excel at helping people feel at ease in front of the camera, allowing us to capture images that convey deep emotion and thoughtful concepts.

I am passionate about educating, sharing, and inspiring other photographers to push their creative boundaries and follow their dreams. I love connecting with the photography community and encouraging others to explore new ideas and techniques in their work.

My photos have been featured at Miami Art Week and Berlin Photo Week, and we were longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize.
