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!
the one thing i am finding about shooting underwater is that no image is the same. the light is always changing because the water is always moving! makes it really challenging, frustrating and completely exciting! i also find the light to be much more forgiving and in order for the images to be dynamic and interesting, the light should be anywhere but right behind you.   so here are a few more...as soon as my good friend mike sandy gets his underwater video housing, would love to share some video from a pool shoot.


thanks to my models for kicking butt today!  its harder than it looks, smiling and posing underwater!

Sara: Gorgeous shots. I got my scuba certification a while ago and have always wanted to get a housing for my camera. The 6th shot looks like she's swimming in a bokeh sea. (08.13.08 @ 09:02 AM)
