“WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG YOU HAVE TIME AND ENERGY BUT NO MONEY. WHEN YOU GET OLDER YOU HAVE MONEY AND ENERGY BUT NO TIME. AND LATER WHEN YOU FINALLY HAVE TIME AND MONEY, YOU NO LONGER HAVE ENERGY.”ANNETTE GULICK

Hello, my name is Jesse Sieden, and I'm a photographer and videographer who is located in Seattle, Washington. I've been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember. I love capturing photos and videos from all angles, but my favorite is my drone. Whether I'm shooting for personal or commercial projects, I always strive to push boundaries and give every project my all.

Currently:

I live in Seattle, Washington. I’ve been a freelance photographer/videographer for many years now. I specialize in drones, restaurants, and real estate, but I take pride in being able to shoot anything that involves a camera.

Where I started:

Back in 2013, I attended The Evergreen State College. Evergreen is extremely liberal, so much so that you can create your own classes as long as you have a professor sponsoring you. I made many courses, but the best one was going to New Zealand for three months to work on farms through WWOOFing (willing workers on organic farms). I traveled through the entire country. Along the way, I was taking pictures on the first iPad mini to send to my mom so she knew I was ok.

I’m an extremely extroverted person. While going from place to place I was chatting with people. I’d show them the pictures I have taken. They would always ask what camera I was using and where I was taking the photos, always replying this iPad (of course New Zealand is incredibly beautiful.) From that point, I knew I had a knack for photography.

I continued traveling for seven more years, picking up jobs along the way. Any time I was staying put, I would acquire shoots. Now that I’m stationary, I made it my full-time career and love it so much!!!
