A little
About Me
I am Rachael Jackson, a Photographer & Artist based in London.
My art lives in the balance between stillness and motion ~ the quiet breath that exists inside movement.
Born in South Africa, I’ve spent my life chasing the feeling of freedom. From the enchanting mountains of Cape Town to the vast, surreal oceans along South Africa’s coastline, nature has always been my grounding force. Hiking, surfing, and moving with the rhythm of life have shaped who I am and how I see. My soul breathes most freely in my homeland.
Beyond South Africa, my camera has led me through Papua New Guinea, Zanzibar, Morocco and more. Each place teaching me something about connection, contrast, and what it means to exist freely.
Through a spontaneous and intuitive approach, I aim to photograph real moments with honesty and presence. Moments that feel raw, poetic, and alive.
My work moves between two worlds:
The soft, ethereal tones of nature ~ where I find lightness, clarity, and peace
and the raw, gritty textures of subcultural life ~ a reflection of motion, emotion, and the darker seasons of my journey.
Both speak to different sides of my soul: the still and the moving, the light and the shadow. Together, they form a kind of Yin and Yang. A reminder that balance is born from contrast & duality.
My art embraces the full spectrum of experience. The freedom and the heaviness, the joy and the ache.
Through my lens, I hope to create a space that feels real, raw, and safe. Where you are free to simply be as you are.

You should know that I am also a qualified Yoga Instructor.
Yoga has been a guiding thread through my life. A practice that grounds me in presence, movement, and awareness. It’s where I return to stillness, and where I learn to listen deeply.
With a warm, nurturing approach, I aim to create a sanctuary in every space I teach. To be a place where people can breathe, feel, and simply be.
Alongside my Yoga Teacher Training, I have also studied Counselling, and I am devoted to creating a safe space for others to explore the depths of their being, reconnect with themselves, and rediscover the the limitless potential that resides within all of us.
