Jay Townsend
Speaker + Campaign Strategist
Jay was in desperate need to update his image content portfolio, so we made sure to take good care of him during his session, :)
Since I’ve photographed him several times at the National Speakers Association NYC Chapter meetings, he didn’t need any staged speaker photos. Instead, we focused on capturing his personality as he did some actual work during his session.
I was able to capture an array of images that showcased his personality and poise that he displays when he delivers from the stage.
It was a fun, magical experience working with someone who has such a deep understanding of how to capture image content that resonates with his audience.

“No one captures a subject quite like John. There is a magic in the way he peels back the onion of the person in his photographs, and reveals something of them that is interesting, vivid, candid, revealing, quaint and personal.
His work flatters his subject.
His are photographs that compel a viewer to look. Quite like fine museum photography that compels one to pause and stare.
There is another side of John. He is fun, quick, and patient. A master of his craft, a superb director who can coax the best from his clients with simple commands from behind a camera.”
