Jacob Webster is a Self-taught photographer who specializes in beauty and fashion-centric images. He has worked with stars such as Doja Cat, SZA, Keke Palmer, Chloe Bailey, Michael B. Jordan, and others. Intersect Magazine called Webster “your favorite celebrity’s favorite photographer” in 2023.
Truthfully, he didn’t start as a photographer at all. Like most teenagers, he began with a typical part-time job that afforded him random nights out with friends or that outfit from the mall he didn’t want to tell his parents about. He spent his weekends and summers working as a lifeguard at a pool. Anyone else envisioning the beginning of the “The Sandlot” movie? Jacob was a 14-year old freshman in high school when he received his first camera from a sibling though, at the time, he was more interested in becoming a model and only took pictures of his friends until all the rejection kicked in. Following high school, he attended Towson University in Baltimore, Maryland, where he pledged Phi Beta Sigma and obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration to outfit himself with some skill behind his talent.

At Towson during his sophomore year, he started looking at photography from a professional standpoint though his mother really wanted him to focus on the corporate world. His father on the other hand has a comparable interest in photography and lent all support. So, in 2020, the self-taught photographer and photoshop pro relocated from the East Coast to California, now living in Downtown Los Angeles. Today, and much to his mother’s respect and support, we get the story of Jacob, the photographer living out his dream and the dreams of many who are afraid that they won’t make it in the business without formal training and a platinum Amex.
Webster who is just 25 has been listed in Forbes 30 under 30.
