A LITTLE ABOUT US

Meet Jen

Hi, I’m Jen Davis, the founder of Purelens Photography. I’m a Cape Town–based photographer with a love for weddings and lifestyle photography. For me, photography is about more than just images—it’s about capturing those real, unguarded moments that tell your story: the laughter, the quiet glances, the connections that make every wedding and lifestyle shoot so unique. Alongside this, I also enjoy photographing wildlife, landscapes, events, and corporate projects, which keeps my creative journey wonderfully diverse.

I was born in Scotland, grew up in Johannesburg, and spent much of my adult life in the Lowveld near Kruger National Park before settling in the Cape. With a mix of city buzz and wild open spaces shaping me, I’ve always been a creative entrepreneur at heart—someone who loves building, experimenting, and blending ideas across different artistic fields. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, helping them feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. Seeing a couple or family laugh naturally, or capturing those small, intimate moments, is what makes my work truly rewarding.

Alongside photography, I also work in web design and brand building. This allows me to help clients not just with beautiful imagery, but with the bigger picture—creating a strong visual identity that carries through from their photos to their online presence. Whether it’s brainstorming creative concepts, assisting with styling, or guiding clients through the shoot, I’m fully hands-on and love making the whole experience enjoyable and memorable.

Thanks for stopping by. Please take a moment to browse my portfolio, and if my work resonates with you, I’d love to connect.

Meet Cameron

Cameron is my second shooter and assistant here at Purelens Photography. By profession, he’s an engineer, but photography has been a creative passion of his for years. He’s been part of Purelens since 2021, bringing not only technical precision but also something even more valuable—his ability to connect with people.

Cameron has a natural warmth that puts everyone at ease, whether it’s a bride and groom, a nervous guest, or a group of colleagues at a corporate shoot. He has a way of getting people to relax, laugh, and feel completely comfortable in front of the camera—which means the smiles and moments we capture are always real. Couples and families often comment on how much they enjoyed having him around, and how effortless the experience felt with him behind the lens.

At weddings and events, Cameron is brilliant at capturing those in-between, candid moments that tell the story just as much as the big ones. He also assists with lighting and keeps the day flowing smoothly with a calm, positive energy. Behind the scenes, he helps with editing and design, making sure albums and photo books are polished and meaningful.

Balancing his engineering career with photography, Cameron loves being able to combine the best of both worlds: problem-solving and innovation in the energy sector, and creativity, connection, and storytelling with Purelens. His blend of technical skill, artistic eye, and people-first approach makes him an irreplaceable part of the team—and a joy to have at any shoot.

“Jen Davis, a talented photographer and graphic artist, was instrumental in bringing Macadamias: A Guide to Preservation Principles and Engineering Practice to life. Since 2016, she has combined her striking high-resolution photography with my text, sketches, and data to create visuals that transform complex information into clear, engaging content. Her images and design shaped both the first edition and the expanded 2nd edition (2022), adding depth and vibrancy to the book’s 500+ pages.”

"I have engaged Jenny on a number of design and photography projects over the last 3 years. These initiatives included a complex digital branding initiative for a third sector organisation as well as the photography lead when supporting the creation of a commercial web site that incorporated fully representative images of the artists work. Jenny is flexible, accommodating and professional. Her deep knowledge of the esoteric and technical requirements within creative design and photography is evidenced in the quality of her delivery. Jenny always exceeds expectations and I recommend her highly."

"Jenny was absolutely fantastic to work with. She put together a beautiful family cookbook, when I had no clue what to do! She offered multiple suggestions and options, very quickly understood what was needed by the publisher and put together an extremely professional book, which was way beyond my expectations. Communication was extremely easy and a great pleasure - what could have been a real headache ended up being great fun!" "
