Hi, I'm Jason/JJ
*I have long red hair and a beard, if I am carrying a camera you can be sure that its me.*

I am a student of the world, particularly in music and photography. I am based in western Sydney. I am extremely focused and passionate when I am working and I like to plan my shoots in detail and I absolutely love what I do.
I will shoot anything from fashion to family portraits. I set myself a very high standard and I am always pushing myself to improve and reflect upon my work.
I am experienced in shooting weddings, functions, events, fashion, portraiture, commercial, pop and glamour.
TFP
- Very Selective.
- Contact me with big ideas or if you wish to be part of my ongoing projects.
- I do not give away RAW files.
- I do not give away hi-res non watermarked files.
- This is for your portfolio, not mine. 2 images is plenty. Want more, impress me.
Likes:
*Gear freaks (guys who own and use more gear than they can carry)
*Natural light and using it correctly.
*Off camera and creatively used/bounced on camera flash
*Well presented/consistent work
*The zoning method for light metering.
*Shooting manual and actually having control of the shot
*The auto functions (anything that doesn't say M) and knowing when to shoot with them.
Dislikes:
*Photographers who say you should never shoot in full midday sun.
*Photographers who shoot in midday sun and don't know why.
*Gear freaks who don't take amazing photos.
*Harsh shadows across the face. Learn how to control light stops.
*Bare on camera flash
*Models who don't think they are amazing wonderful people who we should feel blessed to get to work with
*Sleazography (if you want to shoot erotic work, pay the model for it but don't cheapen something that isn't meant to be porn by turning into such.)
*Poorly presented work and seeing photos that look flat and unfinished in models portfolios. ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOULD STOP SENDING MODELS THIS FILTH. DO YOUR JOB.
*The "what was I thinking" blues when looking at older work
Jason.
