Jake Cox Photo

I got married in September of 2024 to the love of my life Fran ✨ and as a result, we took our honeymoon trip to Japan in January of 2025.

I took a lot of pictures, as a white boy in Japan does, and my dad asked me “how are you going to share these photos?”

And to be honest, I had never really thought of that before. When I started my career in photography in 2016, Instagram was the vehicle for all of my photography. I always shared everything first to IG as a way to show people my work and get the word out that “hey! I take pictures and I’d love for you to take my photography seriously!”

But it got me thinking about how I wanted to present my photos and how I’d love to show them off in a real, tangible way. So I went to work contacting galleries to put on a show for these photos, just as a way to really give them the life I thought they deserved.

And unfortunately that didn’t work out and every gallery I contacted was booked solid for a year+ 😂 so after that failed attempt, last summer, I made a zine with the help of YellowDog and the master of zines Vera Benschop

If you’ve been to irontigerstudio, you probably walked out with a copy of my zine “sweet, sweet honey”, a zine composed of photos I took on a medium format Fuji and the one lens I brought for it, a 65mm manual focus lens, while on my honeymoon in Japan.

So after all that, I finally want to share a few of my favorites from our trip, from my zine, and id love to give you one in person someday 🖤 and if you’re a far away friend and want one, DM me your address and cover shipping and I’ll get one to ya!

And I’m leaving out a lot of my other favorites in an attempt to persuade you to get a copy and see them in person for yourself 😝

May the 4th be with you 💫🚀🪐

Finally getting around to hard posting the news on the grid…

I opened up my own studio!! Meet 🐯

Big shoutouts to all the friends and family who helped with renovation, with a massive thanks to for all the GC work, with a huge transformation of the space and building a 20ft c*c wall. Also thank you to my pops for all of the advice and therapy sessions throughout the project. And a huge thanks to fellow photographer and master of electricity .ofdeath for reworking the electrical for us and spending hours in there making sure we have enough power to shoot! And thanks to everyone else who has put work in, from building furniture to putting up the wallpaper in the bathroom ( ) it’s been heartwarming to have such a great support system. and many more

I also want to thank for designing the logo and creating some assets for the space. He absolutely crushed it and being able to work with one of my best friends on the logo and on photoshoots here would make our high school selves proud 🥲

This project has been exhausting, but to be able to work in this space this year has literally been a dream come true, so thanks to all of my clients who continue to support my photography and excited to see what we can continue to create here

Lastly, thanks to the team over at who by far spend the most time with me in the studio and are an incredible group of collaboraters!! Without them this space wouldn’t be possible so wanted to give them a special shoutout ❤️

I’m constantly playing catch up with work we create, but I’m going to be sharing some work we have made in the new studio soon!! And if you’re interested in checking out the space, DM to come check it out and let me make you a halfway decent cup of espresso with my Mr Coffee 😎

I’m not one to choose favorites, but getting to go shoot a wedding in Vegas with the one and only Elvis himself was pretty high up on the list of iconic shoots from last year. All on location at the legendary 💍💒
