More about Vernon J....
What do you love about your job?
Photography helps me understand light for illustration. I am an illustrator by nature. As I get better at modifying and manipulating light, it improves my photography, it improves my video work, it improves my illustrations, and it improves my understanding of CGI. As a bonus, when I nail a great image for clients, it makes them feel good and it makes me feel good with them.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I do food photography and news photography the most. News is tough because I encounter people on the worst days of their lives. I try to approach them with honor and respect for their trauma or loss. But I do have to photograph the event, whatever it is. I try my best to be respectful. It is often in low light situations. Bad weather. Unpredictable circumstances. But it is photojournalism. By its very nature, very sad and traumatic.

A fun fact about this photographer
I enjoy doing art projects with my grandsons. Making stuff like lightsabers or masks of some of the superhero movies to doing illustrations or building legos. It is really great when we get our cameras and go for hikes.
