About hi, my name is jay reilly.  i am professional commercial/ editorial photographer based on carlsbad, ca.  some of my past client include Nike, Sony, Hyatt, Conde Nast among many others.  this blog is dedicated to showcasing my assignment work and helping other photographers by sharing tips and tricks that have been vital to my business.  feel free to leave comments or post questions. thanks!
long time PDN reader, PHOTOSERVE photog, IPN stock contributor and first time PDN PHOTOPLUS attendee...maybe, finally.  really thinking of heading to new york this year, for the first time.  in recent years, i was always booked up on shoots during the event dates and this year, being close enough to the dates, i can actually leave them open if i decide to attend.  the conferences that looked most appealing to me are:

october 23
the art of the portrait ~ platon
world class stock ~ tyler stableford
real faces, commercial impact ~ paul foster and amy steigbigel

october 24
motion stock for still photographers ~ panel
how to get work from ad agencies ~ debra weiss

october 25
why shoot stock ~ panel
stock photography and the consumer ~ dan heller
lighting for commercial production ~ f scott shafer
how to break into lifestyle/travel photography ~ panel


if your heading to photoplus, let me know, maybe we can swap notes and say hi.  or if you have seen any of the above talks and care to share insight, please do!

Carey: Jay! You have to come to NYC! PhotoPlus is really sweet, and you will go GAGA shooting NYC in all of your time away from the convention! Central Park in the Fall.....ahhhhhh! Nightime with long shutter speeds .... mmmmmmmmmm. It's a photographer's wonderland -- an especially nice change of scenery for us SoCal shooters! (08.29.08 @ 10:27 PM)
