About
Jessica McGovern FMPA
Jessica McGovern creates captivating artwork from the ordinary through a combination of creative vision, photographic skill, Fine Art retouching, printing and bespoke framing.
As a multi-award-winning, internationally renowned photographer, Jessica thrives on creating conceptual pieces to suit specific spaces. It always starts with a brief, a subject and a location - these can be decided by either party for as much or as little creative control as you would like.
Equine, canine, human or something else, there’s nothing that cannot be paired with a bit of Yorkshire magic to result in a genuine, one-of-a-kind piece of art.
