Here is a little bit of my story

I started photography at age 14 in high school, but baseball was my first love. When I was 17 I was overpitched and blew my arm out. I lost 3 Scholarship offers and never played again. I didn’t have the money to go to college so I started a photo business to save up enough for college. 2 weeks after graduating high school I broke my neck. Thankful to not be paralyzed I doubled down on pursuing excellence in my craft.

After a decade photographing 400 weddings 1500 portrait shoots, dozens of commercial shoots and going around the world shooting for non profits, a friend asked me if I would take photos for him for free for a band he was starting with a friend of his. Shortly there after DSLR video was born and they asked me to try to make a music video for free. In fact I funded it. That first video was called “otherside” and it went viral. We followed it up with a second video called “MY Oh MY” that went viral as well followed by the meteoric rise of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis debut album “the Heist”. This began my evolution from photography to a pursuit of mastery in film making/directing and storytelling.

In 2013 I directed with Macklemore and Ryan Lewis a video for the song “Can’t Hold us” I won 2 MTV VMA’s, 1 for Best Cinematography, & 1 for Best Hip Hop Video, along with nominations for best editing and best directing.

In 2014 Myself and my wife Jenny (producer) were Grammy Nominated for Best short form music film.

In 2015 I won a MTV EMA for video of the year for “Downtown” and signed with Anonymous content.

In 2016 I received A VMAj for “Shape of you”, and a Best Pop Video VMA nomination

in 2017 I received a Best Director and Best Pop Video VMA nomination for “Perfect”

in 2019 | a Camerimage nomination for Best Cinematography and Best Music Video

In 2023 I started songwriting with Multi Grammy winning producer Ryan Lewis. in 2025 we released 11 songs with our Single “Slow motion” for Jonah Marais entered top 40 at radio peaking at number 26 on the charts. creating Making 148 pieces of social media content in 6 months.

I love Directing, I love collaborating, I love executing to bring creative ideas to life, and I would love to hear about how I might be able to help you create.

My work tends to be fun and playful with heart. Give it a watch It should make you feel and smile. I have been pursuing creativity my entire adult life, first as a photographer then a director with a side of songwriting.

Me and my team believe deeply in serving people with our work, whether a you’re a brand, an artist, a Non Profit, or just a person looking for imagery that captures your ethos and communicates your story.

Cheers,

Jason
