Reece Jemerson is a gender fluid, queer photographer and musician living and working on Whadjuk Noongar boodja, in Perth, Western Australia. They make pictures of people the way most people only manage to think about people — slowly, and with too much attention. Their photography moves through portraiture, fashion, and documentary work, built out of years of just looking at Perth’s creative and queer communities until something true came loose. It’s organized into series, because Reece doesn’t believe a person is one photograph, and neither is anyone they’ve ever pointed a camera at.

In 2026 they released deflux(1).demo.mp3, a seven-track debut album, out via RouteNote on Apple Music and Spotify. Seven songs — “See the Art Sway,” “Irrelevant,” “Back in that House,” “Grown,” “Polkadots,” “BiPolar,” “Sweetheart” — written and produced by Reece, who left the singing to someone else on purpose; a director doesn’t need to be in the shot. A deluxe edition is coming, because apparently one version of telling the truth was never going to be enough.

They call themself a Pro Bono Cogitation & Noetic Research Associate, which is not a real job, but is also not a lie. Reece thinks for free, constantly, about everything, and has simply decided to put that on a business card before anyone else could underpay them for it.

Photography and music aren’t two separate things here — they’re the same instinct pointed in different directions: pay attention until it costs you something.
