Formerly an in-house creative for a major corporation, Jay understands the pressure of delivering high-quality work on time and within budget. His easygoing yet professional approach has earned him the trust of a diverse clientele—ranging from intimate personal shoots to high-profile brands like Verizon, Acura, HP, LG, Domaine Chandon, Nike, Visit Dubai, Etisalat, and more.

Jay thrives in the unpredictable nature of production, whether navigating a packed dance floor with flying elbows or enduring the blistering heat of Death Valley for a sports car commercial. Blood, sweat, and tears go into every project—sometimes quite literally. He’s got the scars to prove it.
