Howdy! I'm Jayme and I'm a photographer in the New Braunfels/San Marcos area. My background is in journalism, and I've studied photography at Texas State University. I've shot photojournalism, events, still life, landscapes, infrared, children, sports as well as glamour and related genres while striving to improve my game overall.
I work as a second shooter for my wife (
http://www.modelmayhem.com/lisaonlocation) who operates Lisa On Location photography studio in New Braunfels. I'm willing to work with area models as well as MUAs on creative, portfolio-expanding projects, but as our bookings increase, TFP time becomes limited.
We're particularly interested in bridal boudoir, cheesecake (think vintage Vargas) and sensual glamour photography at this time. If these styles appeal to you, we invite any models wanting to add this popular and growing style to their portfolios to drop us a line. I also have a keen interest in infrared photography, and welcome inquiries from models up for the challenge of IR.
Oh yeah, I'm a HUGE fan of bodypainting. Any bodypainters/MUAs out there in need of a photographer for projects, give me a shout--I'd love to work with you.
My photographic influences are all over the map. Ansel Adams for landscapes is a no-brainer. I'm also a fan of Emmet Gowin and Bunny Yeager (how's THAT for a combo?) and Leibovitz when she's not being pretentious. Joanne Gair also rocks my world, but I suppose her photography is secondary to her real artistic talent.
As far as non-photographic bio information goes, I've been a working writer and journalist for more than 20 years. I've published fiction and non-fiction, and am an active member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America. I enjoy conversations that go off on wild tangents, and tend toward longer correspondences than are strictly necessary. My current project is a non-fiction book about the Chicken Ranch. Yeah, that one. And no, the sheriff did not look like Burt Reynolds.
I comport myself in a fully professional manner at all times. I'm relaxed and look upon photo shoots as more of a collaboration than anything else, encouraging the model to engage in full creativity. As I mentioned above, I'm married, so I have zero interest in dating models or other shenanigans. Your time is valuable and so is mine, so let's respect each other and have some fun!
