Jake has built a deep and ongoing creative partnership with one of the world's most iconic camera brands - spanning continents, collaborators and milestones.
Working closely with Jesse Marlow, the head of Leica Akademie Australia, Jake has produced over 17 projects showcasing workshops, events and the talented work of many photographers.
The 100th Anniversary shoot in Wetzlar was a landmark moment - documenting a global event at Leica's own headquarters alongside some of the world's most famous photographers.
Xiaomi is the third-largest smartphone manufacturer on the planet - a $100 billion company whose films, directed by Jake, have accumulated over 90 million views. They chose him not through a pitch or an open brief, but by reputation alone.
Jake has directed brand films for Xiaomi across six countries - Hong Kong, Italy, Spain, France, Germany and the UK. Working across this many markets demands more than technical skill - it demands trust. That trust, earned through consistent and exceptional work, is what defines this relationship.
Manchester City are one of the most recognised sports brands on the planet - a club followed by hundreds of millions of fans across every continent.
Jake has worked across both the men's and women's sides of the club - contributing to a feature-length documentary following the Women's team, and filming content with the men's first team.
It's the kind of access that speaks for itself.
