Fela Signs Kelly Jacob to Photography Roster

The culture-defining production company Fela welcomes photographer Kelly Jacob to its roster for stills representation. Fascinated by the intricacies of the human experience, Jacob’s work often prioritizes exploration and uncovers the obscure to challenge viewers’ expectations.

Jacob has worked with notable brands including Air Canada, Aldo, Cozey, ELLE Québec, Kombi, La Canadienne, Maguire, and Altitude Sports, among several others. Many clients return to him because of his remarkable ability to forge deep relationships and community across his various projects.    

A Québec native, Jacob studied psychology in university in Montreal, and this study of human behavior has since informed his artistic direction. As a self-taught photographer, he has honed his skills with an intention that often draws him to create imagery that reveals the beauty and interdependence shared between people and nature.

“Fela is unconventional, and they understand culture. This means that they stay super relevant,” said Jacob. “They focus on storytelling, and they root for the underdog, which resonates profoundly with me. I can’t wait to start working with them.” 

“Kelly’s vision is very distinct and each image he creates is eye-catching,” said Marina Sulmona, Head of Photography at Fela. “Whether it’s for branded campaign or editorial work, we can’t wait to see him shine by expertly using his craft to tease out true emotion.”
