What I shoot

Four ways to work together.

Commercial fashion & beauty

Campaign, lookbook, product, and editorial imagery for brands, publishers, and agencies — lit with intent and built around a clear concept.

Fashion & beauty for models & creators

Portfolio-building shoots for models, MUAs, stylists, and influencers who want standout, scroll-stopping images.

Event photography

Candid, in-the-moment coverage that captures the energy of the room — not stiff, staged shots.

Why Jay

Strong concepts. Strong light. Bold color.

Shooting since 2018, with published editorial work and a monthly self-directed portfolio session that keeps the commercial-style work sharp.

  • Concept-first planning — a moodboard and shot list before the shoot
  • Studio and natural light, shaped on purpose
  • Clear communication from first message to final delivery
  • Direction for models of every experience level

Let’s make something vivid.

Brands, magazines, influencers, models, event hosts, and seniors — tell me what you’re planning.
