Nicole Vittoria de Jager


About

I am a Fashion Stylist and Crowd Costume Supervisor with a 20 year career in the Film Industry. My love for photography was ignited decades ago but only in 2019, gifted with my first DSLR, did my passion become my reality. Amidst my love for all things crazy and complex is an equal love of structure and simplicity. I am driven by moments that stir something deep within. I would like to use my work to try to make a difference in the lives of those who do not have a voice. Exposing and initiating change through visuals. I believe this is how I am best able to action the philosophy of “pay it forward".
