Jessie McNaught is a film photographer, artist and creative director, currently based in Ucluelet on Vancouver Island. Her work spans from intimate portraiture and wild coastlines to wellness retreats, artisans and architectural forms. Originally coming from a fashion background, Jessie fell in love with film photography while travelling, drawn to the way images could capture not only how something looked, but how it felt. Her work now blends environmental portraiture, feminine expression, inviting atmospheres and innovative artisans to create imagery that feels alive.

Through her ongoing series See Your Nature, she invites people to reconnect with themselves through nature, presence and play. Inspired by FernGully, tide pools, sparkles on water, and the magic of people becoming more themselves.

I’m Jessie

I was born in Australia and now live in a tiny town on Vancouver Island, the furthest west you can get in Canada. Beauty led me here - slow, wild, breathtaking beauty. The kind that makes you pause. The kind that cracks you open. Rumbles and  reminds you, who you are.

Everything I create - film photos, writing, mixed media art - is an invitation to come home to yourself. To soften. To reconnect. To see your nature.
