Hi, my name is Ruby Halo Jones and I am a photographer who enjoys commercial photography and portraiture.
I love the start of a project; putting together mind maps and mood boards, planning, testing and watching a project slowly come to life, my favourite way to document this is in sketchbooks ( a habit from A Level Art) . I am still discovering and developing my style / favourite ways of photographing, so I often do photoshoots where I take influence from artists / photographers who inspire me and shoot in their style. I find that imitating their work enables me to create photos that I wouldn't have otherwise - there are examples of this on my 'Art Portfolio' page.
The work I did for the Fun Tennis Association taught me a lot about creating assets for social media ...
I have many hobbies and interests alongside photography. I enjoy making short films / music videos which I post on Youtube. When I was young I thought I wanted to become an actress, so ever since I was 8 I have been a part of drama groups and participated in musicals, my most recent role was playing Cosette in a production of Lés Misérables, which I loved! I am classically trained on the flute, I have played since I was 6 years old, and completed my grade 8 when I was 15. Music is a huge part of my life, ever since I was born I have been surrounded by it, whether that be my Grandpa playing jazz CDs in the kitchen, my aunt making me mixtapes every Christmas, my dad teaching me to DJ, all of this created my love / passion for music. My favourite artists currently are Olivia Dean, Ezra Collective (I saw them at GreenMan in 2024, it was the best gig of my life), Sampha and Lizzy McAlpine. I am also passionate about fashion and beauty and getting ready in the morning is one of my favourite parts of my day ...
