Jem Shoots Frames

For All Eternity

I usually NEVER touch the colour in band promos, but this one I played with and I think I kinda like it. I dunno.

This is in no way a great image. I just wanted to show everyone the sweet noms I picked up on my way home from uni. Cupcakes on Pitt = Love.

I like shooting people. I dont care whether I’m shooting fashion or bands or whatever. People are always fun and interesting to shoot.
Location wise I have a few, but I love shooting in Karina’s upstairs lounge room in Quakers Hill. Awesome lighting, awesome space, even awesomer family for letting us take over the entire 2nd floor of their house.

Ask me anything

NEW STUFF!! OMG

Creations asked to work with me on some promos for their new myspace/presskit. We spent the day between Avalon Beach, Narrabeen and Salty Rooster getting a couple decent shots to send around to people.

You’re all probably getting really sick of images from this set, but I’m so backlogged with retouching and trying to update that I keep finding new things. However I do promise that within the next week or so you should expect a bunch of new band promos and some work from the Sydney Tattoo Expo last week. 

I’m also hoping to post some of my uni work that I’m doing with the Mamiya RB67 (madly infatuated with them at the moment)

Try not to lose faith as new stuff is coming along with a website and a what not! If you get bored, formspring.me ;)

As I mentioned in my previous answer I go to unsw’s college of fine arts in Sydney (Cofa) and study a bachelor of fine arts.
I’d recommend it only if you want to look at yourself as not only a photographer but an artist which really changed your perception on the way you shoot and set up a shot.

Just going through some old stuff. Kind like this one.

The following details are things you MUST know before contacting me in regards to band promos:

1. Your minimum cost for a shoot will be $100 (please email me with a brief description of what you would like for a more acurate quote)

2. A contact sheet with all images will be provided upon request.

3. Please allow up to 2-3 weeks for the post production of images. This is not because I am lazy, this is because I would like to provide you with the highest of quality.

4. DO NOT email me 6 times a day asking when your images will be ready. This leaves me annoyed and unmotivated. Please also keep in mind that every email I have to reply to means time has been taken away from the time I would be spending on your images, therefore, you’ll have to wait longer.

5. Know that I want this to be a fun and relaxing experience for all involved, by reading and understanding the above you’ll be helping this process.

If after this you would still like to work with me, contact me via email on: jemrichards(at)live.com

So Trish wanted to know what the reflector felt like…

Because this city, this city is haunted
by ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted 
and there’s no hope left for these souls.

I have no idea. I went around for awhile as “Fiasco Imaging” then got sick of that so left it at Jem Richards Photography and only really came up with JemShootsFrames when I started my first blog about a year ago completely random and it’s stuck.

Lets get to know eachother :)

I decided to set aside this afternoon to email a bunch of photographers with my resume and a small portfolio to try and get some work experience or assisting work. What I didn’t expect out of it all was a phone call from the first person I emailed, Uri Auerbach. I’m going to be assisting him next week.

I’m super ridiculously excited. This is an AMAZING opportunity for me and I’ll definitely learn alot.

What else do you like doing for fun?

I enjoy watching live music so I’m at a gig almost every weekend. My social life pretty much revolves around the local scene so I spend alot of time with mates at these shows.
I spend a great deal of time just hanging out with my best friend whether it be watching a movie, or True Blood or walking around shopping centres and looking at things we can’t afford.
I’m a social person, I love being around the people I care about so any time spent with them is always fun.

Three Faces West. Was attempting to salvage corrupted files and found this guy. Kinda like it so I thought I’d post it.
