ABOUT JAY

“It was when I was happiest that I longed most…The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing…to find the place where all the beauty came from.”
CS Lewis –Till We Have Faces

“A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.”
Richard Avedon

“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”
Annie Leibovitz

I am a photographer… it’s what I do, day in and day out. I shoot what I enjoy, looking for environments and poses that interest me and fit the personality of my subject. I strive to be me, giving us the best chance of making you look like you. Gaining the trust of my clients is as important as knowing my camera, because, you cannot take a a good photograph, it’s either given to you, or it’s not.

It’s people that cause me to love photography… which is why you find my site full of faces, emotions, and moments, not landscapes. People fascinate and scare me, they make me feel deeply, and never cease to amaze me (for better or for worse). As long as there are people, I have source material.

 

EVERY PHOTOGRAPHER SAYS THEY LOVE WHAT THEY DO – I WANT TO PROVE IT WITH MY IMAGES.
