In this #meetourmembers, we have @jaywennington — Founder of @badseedagency .

Jay is a photographer and creative director, and the founder of Bad Seed, a production studio specialising in photography, social creative direction and making things look good on the internet.

His love of photography started young. “I honestly can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to take photos.” In 2006, he got his first SLR camera and, shortly after, “a cracked copy of Photoshop” — and the rest is history.

Growing up in the UK, Jay was obsessed with Kerrang! magazine and the bands inside it. Years later, he found himself photographing those same artists and even shooting the magazine’s front cover. “I still pinch myself that it actually happened.”

Photography has since taken Jay around the world, touring with artists across the UK, Europe, Japan and North America, as well as working with clients across music, entertainment and beyond.

His approach to photography is pretty true to his personality: curious, observational and not too serious. “I have always found the idea of being an outlier and quietly observing people really fascinating. Think classic people-watching, just in the least creepy way possible!”

Outside of work, Jay is constantly working on creative projects, experimenting with AI, photographing alternative weddings and finding ways to combine his photography with his love of animals.

If photography disappeared tomorrow, he’d open an animal rescue somewhere in the countryside. Although he’s waiting until “a drone can drop-ship a decent vegan burger to the middle of nowhere” before making the move.

At Desk Space, it’s the community — and, unsurprisingly, the dogs — that Jay loves most. His top tip for new members? Head to the Level 1 kitchen window for a prime view of the doggy daycare next door. 🐶

We’re very happy to have you and Bad Seed as part of the Desk Space community, Jay!

FACES FROM THE RACE(S). Sydney Marathon 2026.

Genuinly one of my favourite posts ever, and coincidentally one of the hardest to whittle the photos down for, despite probably having more photos than any other post, ever!

There is something really special about seeing so many different people from completely different walks of life united in the same space, moving through the entire spectrum of what we're capable of - nerves, sheer grit, quiet self-belief, and the pure, electric joy of crossing that line. 🏃🏻🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️🦞🍌 taken in TCS Sydney Marathon by @jaywennington

We gave our four-legged members the full photoshoot treatment last week for international dog day, and we’re now facing a very serious problem… there are simply TOO MANY good photos.

So, consider this your warning: dog photo spam incoming. How are you meant to pick just a few when they all look this good?!

True story, I accidentally lost 99.9999% of the photos from this day, and when my friends asked for the photos that I'd taken of them I had to send screenshots of ungraded video from my phone (don't think they ever realised).

Thought it'd be rude not to have one more go at @sonyalpha.anz 'almost perfect' photo. It was absolutely incredible to share the experience of witnessing the ferocity of Niagara Falls first hand with some of my best friends.

Also please note that I took this photo on a first gen Sony A7S, and that is proof that that camera is absolutly a bloody stills camera too, if you want it to be 😇.

Hey so @sonyalpha.anz asked people to share the photo that they think is almost perfect, and tbh for me I think it has to be this one of @methylethel taken at @forummelbourne in June 2019. Like, fr, I'm no artist but the way their limbs frame that light is 👨🏻‍🍳 👨🏻‍🎨 #sonyworldphotoday26 taken in Forum Melbourne by @jaywennington

Going full mid-life crisis with these piccies of some incred Rainbow Lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus 🤓) that we see every morning when we take the dogs for a walk.

Please enjoy, and remember what Nelly Furtado said 'I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away, I don't know where my scone is' or whatever it was. 🦜🦜 taken in Embarkation Park by @jaywennington

Thought we all deserved to see these wonderful piccies that @elinbengtssson took of me to accompany my bare-all exposé for the @desk_space blog. A real rollercoaster of emotions, tear-jerker, laugh out loud funny, and so on. Check it out.

PS photos were taking during the World Cup, hence the +10 LAD aura of my jacket 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. taken in DESK SPACE by @jaywennington

Wanna know something so silly? The first time I photographed stat was for the 'Hottest bands of 2018' for @kerrangmagazine_ and @mikisftf stood soooo far out of frame that he wasn't even in the photo! 👨🏻‍🦳👵🏻👴🏻👻 Scroll forward a few slides to see some serious baby faces, and right to the end for a big ol' surprise 🥹 taken in Sydney, Australia by @jaywennington

Yearly pass to @tarongazoo really about to become my entire personality 🦍🦒. Really love learning how to take photo of all these different animals (don't love deleting soooo many blurry photos of birds when they're flying). taken in Taronga Zoo Sydney by @jaywennington
