Episode 0054: Interview with Lifestyle and Environmental Portrait Photographer Jay Watson

LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. Dave interviews Jay Watson and puts ALL the content in the player, including the podcast and the images video with a more conversational approach. (Editor’s Note: Once again, please forgive the poorer audio quality – I’m still trying to replace equipment from the lightning strike! However, it’s better than the last LIVE show!)

Jay specializes in lifestyle and environmental portraits of people on location. His work involves shooting for editorial, advertising, clothing, music, entertainment, industrial, and corporate clients. Elemental Magazine once wrote “he shoots the crazy sh*t,” and an early issue of Garage Magazine said “Jay came to California to raise free range artichokes.” Some of these things are true.

In this episode, Jay talks about his artistic style, tintype portraits, social media, his most challenging project, the perfect assignment, video, and whether he sees the demand for video outpacing static images in the future. We created a multi-media show of his images with an explanation of each one with the full podcast interview at www.lensflare35.com.
