About Us

On Jackson Street acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet and create. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, and recognise that Aboriginal sovereignty was never ceded. We pay the rent monthly and encourage other settlers in so-called Australia to do the same.

Located in Maidstone, Naarm (Melbourne) – On Jackson Street is a platform for sharing and creating photo and video work. We particularly enjoy working alongside artists and small businesses to capture content that will amplify their own personal storytelling. Our working style is unobtrusive, collaborative, and positive. We work hard to nurture relationships with our clients and involve them in each step of the process to ensure they are happy with the results, which has successfully expanded our portfolio to many regular clients and friends.

On Jackson Street strongly believes in nurturing environments where empowered people can express themselves freely and with positivity. We do not tolerate racism, transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, ableism, or sexism.

Tatanja (she/her) was born in Aotearoa and has lived in Australia since her childhood. She graduated from RMIT University in 2014 with a BA in Communication Design and established On Jackson Street in 2015. She enjoys working with artists, small businesses and individuals. Outside of OJS she works at The Jacky Winter Group, and enjoys watching films, powerlifting, and working on projects for our other business – Soft Nice.

Oliver (he/him) can sometimes be found assisting Tatanja on the odd job, so he is no stranger to many clients of OJS. He has a background in film, textile, and illustration. He works part time as a disability support worker, and loves wrestling, playing the drums, and working on projects like warhammer terrain and Gundam models.

We have lived in Melbourne’s west since 2014, but travel around metro Melbourne to work. Always open for new projects, collaborations and feedback. OJS offers special rates for emerging small businesses / artists at our own discretion. Get in touch and say hello.

Special Thanks
