about

G'day and welcome to the Shot by Jake website.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Jake Lindsay and I have been photographing country people and rural enterprises all my life.

After a glorious seven years with The Land Newspaper and The Australian Poll Hereford Society, I travelled abroad, discovering life and developing my photographic style.

About five years ago I became the principal photographer for the New England Country Living magazine and in 2013 became the chief writer and photographer for the Central West Lifestyle magazine.

It's a dream job that allows me to document people's lives from all over rural NSW.  I love returning home after weeks on the road to go through thousands of images and hopefully unearth a few immortals!

My favourite thing now is shooting stunning family portraits of folk in their natural settings. It's called a "Day in the Life of" series, and traditionally results in beautiful coffee-table books, canvas prints and digital files.

Photographic heaven, for me, however, involves shooting the old bushies with well-worn faces and hats, who have spent a lifetime on the land. For me this is gold with their story etched on their face!

Life is beautiful but we are not here forever. Don't wait. Get Shot by Jake!
