While the words below were originally written for my landscapes and cityscape work, they are applicable to my work with models as well. I enjoy shooting both in the studio and natural world. I enjoy working with people who are enthusiastic and excited about creating images in a wide variety of styles.

My main blog can be found at http://JeremyPollack.net, my landscape, nature and cityscapes are generally at http://www.fatfrogphotography.com and you can find my book, Photographing New York City, at http://amzn.to/dfgnyc

As I view everything around me, I always think of how to encapsulate a piece of that world in the frame. My goal is to share a piece of our reality in a way that perhaps the viewer had not considered. Or to share a piece of our reality in a way that the viewer had never slowed down enough to admire. I find beauty both in nature and in the human-made world around us. And I am consistently surprised at how little of that beauty is ever noticed or appreciated.

I started taking photographs for myself. I would spend an hour, an afternoon, a day or longer exploring an area or subject and be fascinated at what my camera saw. As I spent more time behind the lens, I began to have a deeper understanding between my vision and the nature of the world around me and of the interactions of light, shadow and color. This study is an ongoing one which I will never finish but hope to constantly advance.

As time passed, I began to understand how I could use photography to bring the beauty I saw in the world to those who might appreciate it. The joy of sharing this, my simple vision, was a bit startling at first. Yet it was addicting. My hope is that after experiencing one of my images that the viewer will be inspired to stop and see their own reality in a new way.
