Jae Manifest

Multimedia Artist, Citizen Scientist, & Creative Entrepreneur

What’s up yawl! I’m Jae, a Colorado based model and creative entrepreneur. I love nature, travel, and being able to express myself creatively! I started exploring modeling to get better at my photography and stumbled accross a new found career as a model. I have done runway, commercial, and editorial modeling. I enjoy modeling for outdoor brands most because it allows me to represent black and brown people in nature. There are many barriers that cause a lack of representation for people of color in nature. I hope I can actively break some of those barriers with my representation.

Reviews

“Jae was the male groom model for a styled shoot I photographed downtown. He was great to work with. Easy going, willing to try poses and spaces, have fun and be creative, hair was impeccable!”

Brooke Austin Photo
“Jae completely understands the needs of a photo shoot and requirements of the models. He is all of the things you are looking for on top off being so incredibly photogenic. Creative, whimsical, great conversationalist and incredibly versatile. You'd be doing yourself a disservice to look over his gamut of talent.”

Jonny Elsaesser
“It’s always a pleasure working with Jae, he comes out with a positive attitude and is always down to try new things. Most of all he has fun doing and… of course makes it look amazing. Modeling isn’t easy but having Jae on set makes my life easier. Highly recommend booking him.”
