ABOUT

 

Hey I'm Jenna, welcome to The Tone Curve

 

 

My first ever "job" was walking around my little country town in SE Qld, with my best mate offering to wash people's cars for $2 a pop. Looking back at how dirty some of those cars were, we might have been undercharging.

It may not have been the best business plan but it did allow me to save up enough to but my first film camera at the local chemist for $17, before retiring from the car washing industry for good.


You may be wondering, what the hell is a tone curve? Let me explain by using a fancy word that I'm still not 100% sure how to pronounce. CHIAROSCURO - It's definition? The use of strong contrast between light and shadow.

In digital photography to achieve this effect we use something referred to as "The tone curve".  My style has been referred to as contrasty, bold and dramatic so I thought "The Tone Curve" was kinda fitting.

What an experience & how lucky we found a photographer like Jenna.

Jenna was calm but funny which made my daughter feel so comfortable during the photoshoot. (She even made me feel like I was hanging out with an old friend). Jenna had the kind of vibe to make everything so natural and smooth. She brought out my daughter's genuine smile/laugh without even tell her smile!!


We got our photos so quick and they were absolutely beautiful. I can't thank enough to her.

Working with Jen was an absolute dream! Her professionalism, creativity, and eye for detail truly set her apart. From the moment we began shooting, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She have a natural talent for capturing not just images, but emotion, energy, and story in every shot. The final photos exceeded all of my expectations — stunning, high-quality, and beautifully edited. Whether you’re looking for portraits, branding shots, or creative projects, I can’t recommend Jen enough. I’ll definitely be working with her again!

Jenna was incredibly friendly and flexible from the start. She made us feel completely at ease — which says a lot because my partner and I can be a bit awkward in front of the camera! The turnaround time was so quick, and the photos turned out absolutely amazing. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend her.
