Was it destiny? Success means different things Part 2.

Thankfully, I havent forgot to bring my
camera to a shoot since!

Getting film developed was a regular task then.

Do you think sometimes "this is what I was meant to do!"? I do. ALL the time. I struggled to find my place for many years in a different career, fighting the urge to quit because I feared the unknown. 

Fear of failure, fear of mistakes, fear of anything actually - has kept many good people from doing what they should be. Once you overcome it, so many possibilities reveal themselves, and the prior path to that point will look MUCH different when it's behind you, than it did in front of you.

Looking back, I think I was always supposed to be a photographer / producer. I certainly didn't run down that path the first chance I had, but it came back around when the time was right. So many opportunities I have had, would not look or be received the same a few years before they actually presented themselves.
My dad had this Yaschica 35mm SLR camera he bought so long ago I couldn't even tell you how old it is. He only had a couple of prime lenses for it, and it is as basic as it gets for a camera. But he traveled the world with it, and going through old photos, you can see the care he put into what he documented. He still has that camera some 45+ years later. Im actually VERY jealous of the simplicity and how it allows you to just focus (bad pun intended!) on the scene and craft. Devoid of all the modern features a $4000 DSLR has to make sure you nail the technicalities right off the bat.
Once I came along, dad didn't hang his camera up. He just drug me along. While it was always a hobby for him, he still took pride in what he did and his photos. Looking through old albums, it's like I was there, or it brought back the memories just as I remember them. I am quite certain (even if unintentional) he passed this on to me. My love for photography, as a job, hobby and craft, is certainly attributed to the childhood he gave me.

The Dallas commercial real estate market is HOT!

 I've always said "There's no place like Texas...". No words have rang truer over two decades than that one sentence.

 2017 saw a boom unlike any most have experienced with real estate, commercial and residential. With companies like Toyota, Boeing, and host of others moving their HQ's to the Lone Star State, its sizzling hotter than 1980's junk bonds! The looming decision of Amazon's new headquarters location (with Dallas as a possible contender) just adds fuel and mystique to our fire.

 If you're a broker, principal, agent or property manager, get ahead of the listing and tenant game with top notch photographic representation of your properties.

 Wether it's aerial photography, ground level stills and video, or interiors (OR a package deal with it all!), contact Jason Jones Photography to get the edge and brand recognition you need.

 Servicing commercial brokers, real estate agents, construction, golf course, land and ranch, civil engineering, insurance, oil and gas, and any other industry that needs QUALITY photography and video.

Advertising and Editorial Photography by Jason Jones

  While a good part of my work is  in Architecture and Interiors, there is quite a bit of crossover, and many assignments come in the form of advertising and editorial work.

  I am truly jealous of people who can effortlessly write amazing content, stories and books. Writing, along with painting, are two creative things that helped drive me to the backside of the camera! Just as architecture and interiors crosses over with other photography, writers sometimes need images to round out the concept they are conveying. This crossover is where I come in, and work my magic.

  Whatever story your publication has in the works, I can provide excellent imagery to accompany it. My photography was first published in 2001, by chance, when this was still just a hobby and a dream. Since then, I have had thousands of images published in just about every medium imaginable, across the country, with some even internationally!

   Photography is no longer my hobby, it's my only business. Trust your brand to a professional, and call or email for a quote today.
