NYT Magazine

I had the great pleasure of working for the New York Times Magazine for a week covering Oregon college football who happened to go undefeated during their regular season. The editors at the Magazine were amazing to work with. They were so focused on what they wanted and were very clear in expressing what was needed. We had daily edits which really helped me in going into the next day of shooting. The collaboration between photographer and editor or art director is an extremely important part of a successful shoot. That relationship is crucial in creating the final project and communication is very important.

Clients, Clients, Clients

Working as a freelance photographer means diversifying your client base and pursing as many different avenues of business as possible. Everyone becomes a potential client which means that it is important to appeal to as many these potential clients as possible with the photography that you are able to produce. Pushing yourself to expand your portfolio is crucial to keeping up this goal.

Boss Lady

Hello world! I want you to meet my new boss, affectionately known at JJ Photo as “Boss Lady!”

So far, working for BL has been a dream come true. She is the type of boss that really understands the inner workings of the photo biz…BL is a fair boss, yet also takes no nonsense from anyone, whether its her employees or clients. She is easy to please as her steps to success are simple; follow her rules. Which I suggest to everyone!

Oh yea, she wanted me to write about some biz too so here you go:

This will be an informal place where you can keep track of all the goings on for Jed Jacobsohn Photography, including upcoming shoots, outakes and fun pixs plus any general musing that might come up.
