Over the next twelve pages we present three galleries from local photographers who have produced bodies of work that compliments our ‘offset’ theme. With consideration for our planet, sustainability and the beauty around us, these inspiring shots invite you share the way they see the world through their lenses.
SUE TROWER
Sue has long had an interest in photography, but it wasn’t until the introduction of digital cameras and processing that she became seriously interested in taking it further. She joined the Jersey Photographic Club, and with their help and guidance, followed the Royal Photographic Federation distinction path, gaining a Fellowship in 2017. Photography has taken Sue to places such as Greenland, Iceland and Oman, enjoying seascape and coastal scenes. Alongside this, she explores architecture, sport, and more creative aspects of the practice, such as Multiple Exposures and Intentional Camera Movement.

Disko Diva “Taken late evening in Greenland, at a time of year when the sun didn’t set. It was magical, and a privilege to witness these beautiful giants.”
Power Play “The awesome power of the sea. A wave hits the sea wall and ricochets back into the next incoming breaker, creating a huge plume of water which barrels down the beach before reforming and repeating.”
Mourier Mist “The rugged cliffs of the Jersey north coast are softened by the incoming sea mist. A peaceful take on an otherwise wild area.”
JAMES POINGDESTRE
James, also known as The Drone Buoy, is a born and bred Jerseyman with a passion for videography. His hobby as a drone videographer grew from seeing people on Instagram show off the places they live and travel to from the sky. Thinking about all the amazing places to see in Jersey, he bought his first drone in 2023, and started sharing his work on Instagram. Since then, he’s taken his drone to the UK, France and Iceland – “to me, there’s no better way to view the planet than from the sky,” he said. “I love sharing these amazing scenes with the world.”

Greve de Lecq Waves: “One of my favourite ways to view the sea is through a top down perspective. I snapped this down at Grève de Lecq and was amazed by the textures the water and sand created together.”
Birds: “A flock of seagulls from up high. I love being able to capture unique perspectives of nature which are often unplanned, making every flight different.”
Cormorants at Noirmont: “I caught these cormorants sunbathing at Noirmont. They were on a rock inaccessible on foot so I was very lucky to be able to capture them with my drone.”
JADE CAPALDI
Jade Capaldi is an analog photographer born and raised on the island of Jersey. Drawn to the quiet power of nature, she spent her twenties between the mountains and the sea, chasing light, clarity, and stillness. Shooting on film roots her in the present moment and the elements, whether swimming in the surf at Teahupo’o or exploring alpine trails. Her work spans nature, travel, lifestyle, and conscious fashion, guided by a deep connection to place. She is currently preparing a collection of fine art prints—crafted with care and intention, using processes that honour the earth as much as the image.

Snowstorm: “Captured in the middle of a snowstorm in Zermatt, these trees became soft sculptures—almost erased by wind and whiteness. This image holds a sense of stillness and surrender, reminding me how nature can be both harsh and comforting at once. The entire town was out of power for nearly 3 days, due to the amount of snow in April after the winter season ended.”
Valley Trees: “Taken on the way to Ticino, this view stopped me. The forest drapes itself in shadow and gold, each ridge revealing another like a secret whispered deeper into the valley. I’m drawn to how nature creates its own compositions—layered, emotional, never still. This image holds warmth and mystery, a sense that something is waiting in the light just beyond the trees.”
Zermatt, toward Trift: “Between golden autumn and the first snow, the landscape holds its breath. A quiet moment of seasonal shift, full of stillness and change.”
Zermatt, Seasonal Shift: “This was taken from the valley where I live—one of those views I see daily, yet never the same twice. What caught me here was the quiet collision of seasons during the moonrise: the burnt gold of late autumn, the dusting of first snow, and the cold clarity of the sky. I’m always drawn to natural transitions, and in this frame, they layer together—like time folded into one still moment. Shooting it on film helped preserve that softness, that slowness, that sense of change already underway.”
