Capturing energy, emotion, and everything in between.

I am Jae Creates, an artist crafting immersive visual narratives through photography, storytelling, and creative direction. My work captures authenticity, movement, and emotion, creating images that feel alive.

With a multidisciplinary approach, I treat each project as a Gesamtkunstwerk—a total work of art blending visual, musical, and narrative elements. Whether it’s the raw energy of live performances, the intimacy of portraiture, or the electric atmosphere of the environment, I focus on highlighting authentic moments of connection and joy.

At the core, my work is an invitation—to see, to feel, and to connect.

I Create More Than Just Images

Pretty Hurts is a visual and narrative collection exploring Black queer identity, beauty, and self-discovery through Afrofuturism and magical realism. Using AI, I craft imagery that feels dreamlike and surreal, pushing beyond realism to capture emotions and inner worlds. This approach allows for a reimagining of identity, untethered from traditional photography.
