The artful capture of speaking is much harder than you'd expect. A slight drop in the mouth, motion of the lip or flutter of an eye-lid can make or break a shot. This is where micro-expressions matter; where the art of careful anticipation of moments, experience of timing and intuition come in. And Jamsta Photography has this skill down to a tee; having captured dozens of international comedians, MCs & speakers from all across the globe. Feel free to check out some of the work below and see what they have to say!

Before shooting a live show, Jamsta always takes the time to sit down and get to know the speaker; understand their personality, their style of presentation, their character and stage-persona. Jamsta also makes sure to find out if there are key shots or money-shot moments in a speaker/comedian's show that must be captured. These are all critical things to understand about a performer and their show, in order to capture and bring this out in the best manner.
