Inspired by classic cinema and film photographers including Hermann Landshoff, Wingate Paine and Louise Dahl-Wolfe, it’s Jared’s beautiful lighting aesthetics that set him apart.

Working primarily with full-team productions, Jared offers freelance commercial photography services at an agency-level that tackles demanding shot lists with successful results.
Spanning pre-production to post-production, including location scouting, art direction and lighting design, Jared goes beyond camera operation to offer seamless end-to-end content creation for commercial projects.
