Jay did a YouTube advert for my business last year. He was able to quickly understand my requirements and quickly come with ideas for a concept. Testimonials were done by real students who were not comfortable in front of the cameras. Jay was able to patiently guide them through the process and was able to achieve the desired outcome in a timely manner. We also encountered some challenges on the day of the shoot with high winds and had to make a last minute switch in locations. Jay had the skills and the experience to adjust to the new location and quickly make the necessary adjustments and continue with the shoot. Finally he put his personal touch on the video editing. Overall a fantastic final product.
Great photographer to work with.Jay has captured the most memorable moments of several events we organized. He was our official photographer for few local and international music concerts.Very organized and respectful throughout the entire process. The biggest possitive to me was, the audience was not disturbed; But still he captured every special moment.The quality and creativity of the photos are outstanding.I would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants a true professional photographer.
Jay is a fantastic photographer and amazing to work with! He has captured many staff events and professional shots for Voyager Internet and has always done a wonderful job. He fully listens to and makes sure he understands the expectations of each job to ensure he is delivering what is required and always carries out the work with the utmost respect and professionalism. Highly recommend!
Jay is an incredible photographer. He put time and effort in before our big day so he knew the spaces and planned where to take shots, while also being flexible enough to make changes on the fly. He took some incredible candids as things were going on around us which were great to see after the big day.Thanks so much for sharing the day with Tony and I. It was such a pleasure to have you there throughout the day as a friend too.
We had so much fun getting our family pictures and events photographs taken by JSW photography and video with Life Writing Photograph. He is professional, creative, talented, very reasonable, and so easy to work with. The pictures were sent to us almost immediately after the photo shoot. They all turned out beautifully! Each picture perfectly captured the emotion of the day! You will absolutely love your experience with JSW photography and video ! I can’t wait to use Life Writing Photography again!
