Jason is a full member of the Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS).

 

A highlight of Jason's career is directing multi-camera broadcasts for the Rock-it concerts which allow him to work with music industry greats like  Oasis, Foo Fighters, The Pixies, Jet, Kings of Leon and Green Day.


Jason’s photography experience includes portraiture, fashion, food, conceptual and architectural. 


His most recent commission has been to photograph, 'Essence', a cook book with an influence on West Australian produce.

 

Jason’s obsession with composition and framing means his photography always runs in tandem with his work as a cinematographer.

 

When asked to comment on his work, Jason says, “I try to capture a moment when the person is open. People who are not experienced at being photographed are easier. Photography should go beyond appearance, to personality, to philosophy, to whatever it is you are trying to say.”
