Hello and welcome my ModelMayhem Page. I thought I would do something a little different with my bio, as most are a bit impersonal. I have compiled a series of questions that I receive on a frequent basis, either in person or by email. Hopefully it will give you some insight on who I am, and what I am about. If you feel that your questions haven't been adequately answered, please email me at jeremy@womackphotography.com and let me know.
How did you get into photography?
Shooting started for me back at high school in Huntington Beach, CA. Not a bad backdrop if you ask me. Photography began to explode for me while I was trying my hand at acting and modeling while living in Los Angeles.
Do you find photography difficult?
I suppose it was difficult when I first started shooting, not knowing very much about the technical side of photography. Getting that great shot has to do with both the eye of the photographer and their technical knowledge.
What do find tough about the business?
One of the toughest things about this and almost any business is the constant self-promotion and marketing. It is THE most time consuming part of this business that I do.
What does professional mean to you?
Being professional means that I'm on time, responsible, and I produce the idea/vision that my clients have hired me to create. I consider myself to be a professional photographer.
Do you have favorite shoot locations?
Being that Las Vegas is in the middle of a desert oasis, I have many favorite locations. The two that stand out the most are Red Rock Canyon and the dry lake bed. Both locations are about 25 minutes away from The Strip.
What type of photography do you prefer?
As you can see on from my website, I do not have a preference per se. I started off as a Glamour and Fashion photographer, but have progressed into a more diverse style. I try not to limit myself as a photographer or in my life.
Where can fans see more of your work?
I own two Las Vegas based websites,
http://www.jeremywomack.com and
http://www.lasvegasnightlifenetwork.com. You can see a lot of examples of my work on those sites.
Who is your favorite photographer?
I am a huge fan of both Herb Ritts and David Lachapelle. They have different styles which I love. I also enjoy the works of Sante D'Orazio, Peter Lindbergh, and Andreas H. Bitesnich.
Your style is very diverse, why is that?
I am not quite certain why, but I'm sure it comes from a love and passion for all things. I almost feel as though if I do not shoot a particular subject, that I'm missing out on life.
Do you ever shoot outside of Las Vegas?
I used to shoot often in Los Angeles and Southern Utah, but in recent years haven't had the time to get out there as much as I'd like. I look forward to traveling across the US, shooting a book idea I have.
Do you have any other ambitions?
I have always wanted to open an art gallery, that focused on the artist taking control of their careers by providing them space to sell their art pieces for what THEY feel they are worth.
Any advice for new photographers?
Just keep shooting. Always take your camera everywhere. You will find great shots in the oddest places. With the advent of digital, you can hone your skills without busting your wallet.
Who is your favorite band or musician?
Wow...this is a tough one. My music interests are very diverse, but I never get tired of listening to The Killers, INXS, Guns & Roses, or Prince. The music they have made is timeless.
What type of personality do you have?
I am a very laid back, easy going type of person. I do not allow disturbances to rattle my cage. There are many things in life that we have absolutely no control over, so I just roll with it.
Who built your website?
My website came from my hours and sweat. I wanted to make sure I captured "my" vision. I've had other "webmasters" build my site, but I feel if you want it done right, do it yourself.
Do you have any pets?
Yes, I have a dog. She is a chow/retriever mix and her name is Coco. She's traveled all around the country with me. Maybe you will get to meet her some day. ;-)
