Hi, I'm Jason/JJ
*I have long red hair and a beard, if I am carrying a camera you can be sure that its me.*

www.jjmaher.com.au

I am a student of the world, particularly in music and photography. I am based in western Sydney. I am extremely focused and passionate when I am working and I like to plan my shoots in detail and I absolutely love what I do.

I will shoot anything from fashion to family portraits. I set myself a very high standard and I am always pushing myself to improve and reflect upon my work.

I am experienced in shooting weddings, functions, events, fashion, portraiture, commercial, pop, glamour and art nude work.

TFP
- Very Selective.
- Contact me with big ideas or if you wish to be part of my ongoing projects.
- I do not give away RAW files.
- I do not give away hi-res non watermarked files.
- All images shot under conditions where payment is not received/contracts not signed remain the sole intellectual property and copyright material of Jason Maher. I retain all rights regarding the usage and distribution of these images.
- This is for your portfolio, not mine. 2 images is plenty. Want more, impress me.

Likes:
*Gear freaks (guys who own and use more gear than they can carry)

*Natural light and using it correctly.

*Off camera and creatively used/bounced on camera flash

*Well presented/consistent work

*The zoning method for light metering.

*Shooting manual and actually having control of the shot

*The auto functions (anything that doesn't say M) and knowing when to shoot with them.

*Shooting very creative concepts or nude work. Lets face it, they're interesting, you standing in a field in casual street wear never will be.

Dislikes:
*Photographers who say you should never shoot in full midday sun.

*Photographers who shoot in midday sun and don't know why.

*Gear freaks who don't take amazing photos.

*Harsh shadows across the face. Learn how to control light stops.

*Bare on camera flash

*Models who don't think they are amazing wonderful people who we should feel blessed to get to work with

*Sleazography (if you want to shoot erotic work, pay the model for it but don't cheapen something that isn't meant to be porn by turning into such.)

*Poorly presented work and seeing photos that look flat and unfinished in models portfolios. ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOULD STOP SENDING MODELS THIS FILTH. DO YOUR JOB.

*The "what was I thinking" blues when looking at older work.

*People who argue without doing their research. It negates the point of argument.

I practice a 100% honesty policy. I am straight with you from start to finish. This has led to...

...offending people! For a copy of my beautifully handcrafted apology letters send me a message (include a bad incident of your own to get us started. I love sharing stories.) In this vain, fickle and competitive industry I find it odd when people don't expect it to be a harsh. I truly love each and every one of you, I only act when my own investment in this industry is threatened.

Jason.
