“I remember riding with my father in his old, beat-up truck, on our way home from a fishing trip that had been less than fruitful.  We had given up when a snowstorm arrived. A few miles from the lake my father stopped to help someone.  He left his Canon A1 sitting on the seat.  I thought about all those pictures he had taken with it. I looked out the window and saw the snow was sticking to the branches of the trees a few feet away. I thought it looked wonderful and deserved to be captured. My father had not returned so I picked up his camera, aimed, focused, released the shutter, and put it back exactly where it had been.  The rest of the trip was uneventful and I never mentioned what I did.  It was several weeks later when my father got the film developed.  I watched over his shoulder as he went through the pictures.

He stopped on one and said, ‘That’s funny…I don’t remember taking this one.’

I knew right away it was mine. I didn’t want to be in trouble, so I feigned ignorance: “Are you sure, dad?  It looks nice.”  He agreed that the image was good but assured me he had not taken it.  That’s when I reluctantly confessed, and waited for punishment.  Instead, he was thrilled.  To my surprise he was not upset with me but rather happy I had been paying attention to him taking pictures.

This was how my love of photography began.”

With nature photographers for both father and grandfather, it is not surprising that Jason has always loved the art.  Starting out with a simple 110 camera, at an early age he revealed a latent talent for photography.  After college, Jason began assisting photographers like Jenna Picket and Don Jones.

For five years, Jason had been working in a commercial photography studio.  He learned how to work with everyone from Art Directors, Hairstylists, Makeup Artists, Models, and clients.  In 2007, Jason decided to hang out his shingle.

With a focus on quality commercial photography, Jason Myers Photography has continued to expand its client base to include MD News Magazine, Liberts, Sharene Sportswear Inc., and Today’s Homes - to name a few.  Today we strive to produce creative and valuable solutions for all our clients’ imaging needs, and we would relish the opportunity to speak with you about any future projects.
