Jason Christopher

"Jason Christopher is a fashion photographer based in Los Angeles California. His work has been described as Classic, romantic and clean. These are three qualities that make up a perfect image and Jason nails it every time... The photography of Jason Christopher has been compared to the French painter Degas and the Italian master of artistry Leonardo Da Vinci for the way he uses clean, classic lines of the body resembling a piece of fine art. Combine these qualities with his edgy, sharp lighting and you have the recipe for photography that anyone can appreciate and identify with, oftentimes finding a part of them in each of his photographs. Armed with intensity, passion and a contagious laughter, he commands control of his set and earns the respect and trust that his models and team have come to love and enjoy with every shoot. His motto: "Be prepared, or prepare to fail." "

So his bio is a bit annoying to me, it was just a bit to much for me and makes everything seem like it's great and perfect. A little over the top. But I do like some of his work. I prefer the fashion pictures he does outside, especially the few I saw when it was dark out. That just seems like something new to me. And being outside always adds another element to the photograph, its more exciting than a model against a blank wall. I found his "personal work" section to be more enjoyable to look at. Honestly, I got kind of bored looking through some of his work. It all seemed to be the same style, a girl standing there looking glamorous. But the personal work seemed a bit more realistic and not quite so stylized and done-up. He also has his own blog that discusses various topics besides his own work.
