I'm Jade West, the muse that brings creativity to life through my striking visuals and captivating presence on set. Born to an African American mother and a Puerto Rican father, I've always been drawn to the eclectic blend of cultures and art forms that surround me. Growing up in a mixed-race household allowed me to develop a unique perspective, which now enables me to transcend traditional boundaries between beauty standards.
My passion for photography began when I stumbled upon an old Polaroid camera in my grandmother's attic. The instant gratification it provided was intoxicating – capturing the fleeting moments of life, freezing them in time like a snapshot of the soul. This fascination soon led me to pursue a career in modeling, where I could embody various characters and tell stories through movement, expression, and attitude.
Now at thirty, I've honed my craft, becoming an integral part of the fashion industry's most sought-after editorial shoots. With a repertoire that spans international campaigns for top brands and collaborations with visionary photographers like Annie Leibovitz and Mario Testino, I continue to push the boundaries of what it means to be beautiful – from bold streetwear looks to ethereal couture creations, each image is a testament to my limitless potential.
