About

Jake Chaplin

Originally from San Francisco, he made his way up to Seattle in 2019 to be closer to family.

After settling in, he brought his photography/videography creative eye to a music venue in Seattle called Paragon. He provided high quality content for performing artists and Paragon’s social media for over 3 years.

His experience at Paragon, along with his love for both portrait and architectural photography/videography, created opportunities to work with high profile clients including PBS Newshour, Airbnb, Brandi Carlile, Advata, Redfin and Compass.

    “Jake’s eye for energy portrays us at our best, and I use the photos he takes all the time in my promo. I also love reliving our gigs in the photos he gives us every week - it’s easy to read the story in the gestures he captures. Through the summer nights, he knew exactly how to play the light behind and in front of us to show the vibrant feeling we get performing at Paragon. Into the winter, I can feel the warmth through the tones he chooses in his photos. I have so much good promotional material now!”

    “Jake is a true dream to work with. The minute we started chatting while setting up for the video shoot I could hear his creative passion absolutely bursting out of him, and that dedication and know-how carried over tenfold to his on-set demeanor. Plus he's always delivered top notch final products on top of it all. I'm quite sure I'll be working with him again soon.”

    “I first met Jake at Paragon in seattle I think about 3 years ago. From the first time we worked together I knew this young man had vision. His attention to detail in both visual and audio mediums was impressive. In my opinion he is as good as it gets. It’s always a pleasure and a relief when I know Jake Chaplin is taking care of me when I perform..”
