Hi Everyone! Over the years I have developed a pretty large network of friends, colleagues, readers and creative professionals that frequent this blog or my other circles of existence, facebook, twitter my web sites... whatever.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to ask that if you do read this blog if maybe you can share it with others that might have an interest. If you happen to know a creative professional that might need a photographer, please send them this link. Sometimes people might not even know who my market is but any Marketing Directors, Public Relation Directors, Art Directors, Graphic Designers, Interactive Designers, Photo Editors or Art Buys. Some of what i do is catalog work, annual reports, web site images, corporate assets, editorial images, fashion and portraits.
Thanks so much for the support and to make it interesting and fun, here are some things in return for the effort...comment below and i will pull the names and put them in a hat. Pull and name and the winner gets one free workshop of your choice(www.jayreillyworkshops) and an Aurora 5x5 fine art book - Aurora Photos - Found Moments and Conceived Images.
thanks so much! some recent beach pics... thanks!!

Hi Everyone, just a quick post of some of the kids workshop from last week. Thanks to all that came and had fun chasing kids around and getting silly! Thanks to Sarah and all the models and parents for hanging and spending some time with us. Here are just a few...
Also a thanks to ITDR for sponsoring the event and also for offering some perfered incentive for those taking the workshops. But they are also having a pretty sweet deal on a HYPERLITE blog and SLIDESHAREmax for only $500. Hit them up and tell them you found out here.

Yeah, the last wedding I shot was a Polish couple. They definitely knew how to party, thankfully I know a lot of the club owners in Tokyo and so was able to call round and find someone to close off the VIP section for them when their reception venue kicked them out at 11pm...
We finally left at something like 8am...

So what do they say are the 3 most important things in real estate, location, location, location. Well for me, its all about location, authenticity and activity. so many people ask about image creation and how the images take on a natural feeling and tone to them... well, maybe because even if it is a produced shoot and not found scenarios, i try to keep all of the elements in mind when producing, shooting and editing. Here are a few of Michael Stewart yoga instructor doing what he does best, keeping it very authentic. Thanks Michael! Images on the way!
By he way, Michael host yoga retreats in fantastic places, as soon as I get details from him, I will post a link, thanks!

Beautiful imagery. They have a great tonality and sense of place to them, as well as capturing Michael's inner strength. I wholeheartedly agree with you about it not being just location, location,location. An image has to do more than just tell me a story about where it happened.

you also have a knack for movements in photography, the composition always has a very nice fluidly to them. I'm a fan.

Hi everyone...2 post in a day, why not!
I was featured in issue 7 of Design Aglow...all about branching out! I am not sure what i am branching out from...but the editors tested my knowledge and life in the world of stock photography. I am somewhat new to stock, all things considered, but feel like i know as much as anyone in the business on that little niche of the world. Starting way back when i was an art buyer for advertising campaigns...to now shooting LOTS and LOTS of stock!!
Thanks to Jamie who wrote the feature...and the designers who all put the issue together, they did a great job!

Hi everyone! Well, I think its about that time. For years i have been one of the guys behind the scenes making my clients advertising, catalogs, web sites shine with imagery and really have done it on a guerrilla approach at finding clients and booking new gigs. I think it it is really time to ramp up the effort. Its been a challenge to decide what to spend money on and how to make it happen. The smart approach would be to write a marketing plan... which i have not done yet. Time always seems to get in the way, busy traveling, shooting and delivering images... leaves me little time to find new clients. Is it a catch 22 ;-) I guess i happy to have work and would be happier to have bigger work!
So with this post is a commitment to write a marketing plan, create a new book, continue to do email marketing, send this first round of direct mail and probably a bunch more stuff, that i don't even know yet...cause my plans not done! Wish me luck!
Some press printed cards to be mailed to some people, here we go!
