AJ Smith Photography

I really don't want to write this over again, but, Model Mayhem seemed to lose everyone's bios. I have had 3 billboards in Boston. I have been published. I have done charitable work for a non-profit medical agency. My gear is all Nikon professional bodies and lenses. The models I have worked with have been amazing. This should be, fun! My preference is to work with commercial looking models. Fresh, wholesome, print-style.

I do know just a bit about life in front of the camera. I modeled Georgio Armani suits for a New England retailer that is no longer with us.

My goal is to work with professional, creative models who will assist in the collaborative process necessary to make great shots. I want us to creat iconic artwork together. As a professional, I look forward towards working with professionals as well. I think that creative input is every bit as valuable as lighting, fast glass, and a great camera. I have all of those-But, I need your creativity, flare, and input for win-win results. I shoot with high end Nikon digital-SLR equipment, including Popular Photography Magazine's Camera Of The Year, the Nikon D300, and fast, sharp Nikkor lenses. I would like to eventually take advantage of the Nikon off-camera Creative Lighting System (CLS) capabilities. Please e-mail me so we can schedule time to work together.

Suggestions as to great remote locations to shoot, as well as themes, are very much appreciated. let's make some beautiful images together. Do models ever contact photographers first on here?

Choosing to work with me will ensure that you are partnering with a smart, skilled photographer, described fondly as a perfectionist. I am a Bachelor's of Science degree holder, Communications/Media, with a concentration in Television Field Production. My day job is in product marketing for a software company.

I truly am a professional commercial photographer. One of my architecture shots made the cover of a city tourism publication. A lot of photographers on here misrepresent themselves as professionals-I really am one! I successfully negotiated with a Madison Avenue advertising agency, whose client is purchasing my work. The client is a name we all know and love- Fenway Franks. They are using it for a billboard in Fenway Park, as well as a magazine print ad campaign, running in the team's official program. It is also on display in a billboard in Kenmore Square, across from Fenway Park, and the Cask n' Flagon. I am also currently working on a project for a federally funded health agency, affiliated with the UMass Medical system.
