Photo booths

Although I have been working on projects and trying to progress my work and style, I've been lacking on the blog updates.
I suppose I am not sure what to share on this blog. Would people prefer to see the whole aspect of JailBreak, keeping it formal and informative? How about the coverage of JailBreak ad well as the personal photography of Jason DeSomer?

Anyone have thoughts or recommendations?

Other than that, I am currently working on a photo booth project that will hopefully be prospective and fun for the PDX area.

I'll share more as it comes. As well as new photos ASAP.

Evil Dead the Musical 2012

The new year has begun and it's off to an exciting start!  

It's still early in the year and I've already worked with some new fresh and talented faces that have given me the opportunity to work on my craft and grow in many ways.  I find it invigorating working with fresh talent, viewing photos as I take them and saying to myself "Wow" as I see a photo that is particularly striking to me.  I can't wait for the adventures and growth of JailBreak Photography this year!

This weekend I am covering the Evil Dead the Musical - Portland again and it's already been such a pleasure.  All the cast seem to really like my work and dig working with me in general.  This years Evil Dead the Musical has a LOT more blood than last years.  Makes for the screams and laughter to be much louder.  

I've started a sister Facebook page to JailBreak Photography's Facebook page called JailBreak Exposed.  This is an area where I will post more of the risque work.  Check it out and "Like" JailBreak Exposed.  I'll occasionally post sales on boudoir, pinup style shoots once more "Likes" are accumulated.

Once in a while I plan on posting behind the scenes photos from various shoots that I've been on with descriptions of the scenerio and what-not.  Should be fun!

Still loving Portland Oregon and still inspired by the consistent energy, inspiration and life that there is here.  I just can't wait until the weather is a bit more forgiving, haha.

 

Keep your eyes peeled and thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog!

Socially Networked?

I've been working on having solid JailBreak Photography activity across the web where things are better connected and able to be updated with current work, deals, and opportunities to provide fans and clients with interesting work. One such place I recently set-up where you can see some work on is  the newly created 500px.com account. 

A truly beautiful and inspiring website.  It is so rich with superb photography, I highly recommend  checking it out!

If you haven't noticed what all the fantastic people said about JailBreak Photography, you should take a moment and see what has been said!  There are models, businesses, cosplayers, DJ's, dancers, etc - Check the testimonials here and see!

Closesly related, JailBreak Photography is now fully functioning on YELP.com - Here in Portland, Oregon there are millions of people a day who use Yelp on a regular basis.  I'm hoping Yelp helps bring more exposure to JailBreak Photography.  I look forward to meeting more individuals and photographing the hell out of them! haha

Keep your eyes peeled on the Yelp page for specials and sales and please be sure you check out the JailBreak Photography Yelp page and rate us if you have worked with JailBreak! Your reviews will truly help! 

SakuraCon 2011 - By JailBreak Photography

Check out this video I made from photos and video coverage I took at SakuraCon 2011.  It's primarily of the dance, but also contains photos of epic cosplayers.  Hope you enjoy!

Remember, remember..

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching and the call weather already feels like it's transitioning into the cold winter weather.
I personally find it really beautiful during the fall season but it becomes difficult to go outside and take photos when your fingers are freezing cold, ha ha.
JailBreak Photography now has some hats made for several occasions. If people like them I may end up selling them but as of now they are for business purposes and to looks like in general.

In October I covered the Portland zombie walk for 2011, it was my first official Portland zombie walk and it was a lot of fun despite the hard-core rain.
As much as I wanted to cover the event as if an actual zombie outbreak had happened and I was a survivor with a camera, I decided to try and photograph each zombie participant that I saw to provide them with some quality photos of the Portland zombie walk as well as get the JailBreak name out there.

It's early in the month of November but I'm hoping to expand my portfolio a lot more before years end. We'll see how that goes!

Exploration and Confidence

Today I am rolling out to downtown Portland, and it's surrounding areas, to try and sell myself to all the glorious faces I see so regularly out there in the world.  I have been working hard on a solid foundation of pricing and policies that suit JailBreak Photography and am excited to offer my services!  I just hope people are excited to use them! Haha

I would really like to get my foot in the door to be able to cover the many live events that are here in Portland!  The dance and music scene here is incredibly active, I look forward to the people that do decide that my style would work well with!
