Photographer Jay F/X Photography

I am interested in all types of shoots and in expanding and experimenting with new styles and settings.

After several years of landscape and architecture photography, I started to explore model photography and I'm glad that I did. Working with models renewed my interest in the art and gave me an appreciation for the possibilities that exist when I'm working with another artist.

Capturing beauty in any form is, of course, appealing. But the beauty I have found in the models with whom I have worked is dimensionally different. Landscapes and buildings can be beautiful but I strive to capture moments when personality, emotion or mood is expressed along with external beauty in a photograph.

When it happens, it's an awesome experience.

COMPENSATION

I will primarily be offering PAID (as in: I pay you for your time and talent) shoots in an effort to shoot as much as possible.

I will consider doing TF shoots but it will depend on the setting and our shared expectations.

If you're interested in working with me, please send a message and let me know what type of shoot you'd like to do and what your rates are. A general idea of your availability would also help a lot.

WORKING WITH ME

I work with models of any experience level - provided that they are easygoing and drama-free. I believe in art as a collaborative process so I'm hoping to work *together* with models. If you're expecting to just show up and "go through the motions", I'm probably not the photographer for you.

I work especially well with models who don't mind working with someone who is relatively new to photographing people.

You will ALWAYS be treated professionally and with respect. I'm an easy person to work with and to get along with.

I do not have an absolute rule about model escorts. However, I would much rather work without an escort present. If you feel the need to bring an escort, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss it with you first.

I am happy to meet you sometime before we shoot for coffee in a public place so that you can get a sense of my character and my ideas for the shoot.

From time to time I'll have a project or want to try something new and I'll post casting calls - so be on the lookout if you'd like to work together!

I work in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Baltimore and eastern Pennsylvania and can reach any of them easily with a little notice.
