About Jet Lendon

Jeanette (or Jet as she is known), started her working life as a primary school teacher in the East End of London. However photography was her first love.

When she had her children, she took the plunge and retrained as a photographer, trying many different styles and genres to find her passion. She subsequently found she enjoyed corporate and commercial photography, and ran her own photography studio for 14 years working for clients such as Porsche and SafeStore as well as beauty and editorial campaigns for bridal magazines.

Jet loved photography, but also missed teaching. She discovered that there was a massive gap in the market for showing people how to get the best out of the cameras that are in their pockets - their smartphones.  Fast forward four years, and Jet now runs Jet Black Squares, a hub for all things smartphone photography, and doesn’t even own a ‘big’ camera any more.  She has worked for a number of blue chip clients providing smartphone training including Samsung, Pernod Ricard and Kew Gardens.
