Through the lens of Jessica Stafford

Everyday we experience beauty, whether it be by loving gestures from others,

the perfect 'no-filter' beauty of nature or  moments that cannot be repeated.

It takes a fine eye to capture these experiences in pixel form, and Jessica does not lack this. Miss Stafford, a Medical BioScience student, born in East London and raised in Cape Town, is known for seeing and capturing the beauty in things we sometimes do not notice or take for granted at times. She has an obsession with flowers (which a lot of us can relate with) and would love to do a florist course after she completes her Bsc degree. 


The passion she has for sharing moments with the world of Instagram has caught the eye of over 1000 followers. Her photography has been appreciated by popular instagram accounts such as City of Cape Town Skies , and has featured on the City of Cape Town account, and many others.

Reflection series 2/3 by: Jessica stafford

Jess's reflection series is of her most popular work. "I took this picture because the reflection was just so breathtaking!" she said with glossy eyes. Her passion for photography and everything beautiful shows on every post. Sharing moments and love does not stop on social media but overflows to the streets. Jessica and her boyfriend Kirk Hanslo have started The Movement , an outreach project to create smiles and share joys across Cape Town by visiting underprivileged areas and gifting things which once brought us happiness to those who would appreciate it most.

Smile of a cutie

Though the lovely Jess is just as alluring on the outside as within, finding a selfie of this English rose is as rare as a pink moon. Luckily I'm skilled at finding hidden/rare material ;)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, motivation comes from within and inspiration comes from without. 

There is not a doubt in my mind that the quotes which accompany some of Jessica's amazing images would inspire you and bring forth motivation within yourself.
