Jesse Laver

As the son of an artist and a photographer, Jesse was destined for a creative future. After studying fashion design, he worked briefly in the apparel industry before discovering his passion for real estate photography. Early on, he established a niche as a photographer who represented architecture and interior design in an elevated and authentic way. He specializes in using natural light to develop a strong sense of chiaroscuro in his work, lending his photographs a highly idiosyncratic character. 

Born in the UK but raised in Vancouver, Jesse brings a unique sensibility to his work that is influenced by his European and North American roots. He has worked with architects, designers, builders and realtors to hone his eye and refine his skills over more than a decade in the real estate industry.  A documentarian of luxurious and unique properties, Jesse’s work has been featured in publications such as Architectural Digest, Dwell, Vancouver Magazine, and more.

As the founder and director of Laver Creative, Abode’s in-house production team, Jesse leads the creation of films and photographs that are as distinctive and unforgettable as the properties they represent.
