Jake Gill is a photographer based in London. He is currently studying Photographic Arts at University of Westminster after completing an Art & Design Foundation at City of Bath College. His work explores the borders of Fine Art and Fashion photography, which is often presented in a commercial structure. He is concerned with the restrictions of the human form and communication through basic body language. His images hold a reminder that communication can be extremely difficult. The 'Born Free' images attempt to reflect the modern world of communication. Jake suggests as we experience globalisation, communication (although easier than ever) becomes facile and our confrontational presence is lost. However, through digital communication we become confined to emoticons to express how we feel. To be born into today's world and possess the tenacity to reject the use of a smartphone is truly an act of revolution.

Not only breaking the boundaries of the cultures in question, the young woman here is comfortable in these surroundings, portraying a strong sense of belonging… Which in today’s society is very important.
