Welcome page
I would like to welcome you and thank you for taking the time to visit my web blog.
I have been in and out of photography since developing my first roll of film in grade school. From when I became aware of the opposite sex, I also discovered a timeless source of photographic beauty. One of my first images was of a friend’s younger sister, sitting on a split rail fence. She was 5 and I was 8.
I continued to shoot through high school and college with formal and informal portraits, mostly all in black and white. As the world turned to color I shot weddings and portraits for friends, but withdrew from the darkroom due to the time, expense and uncertainty of the results.
Recent advances in digital photography, computers and printers has changed all that. The purchase of a digital Canon SLR and a totally impromptu shoot in Milan with Ameka during the summer of 2005 helped me rediscover the joy of photography.
Following that vacation I slowly started into the next chapter of my photographic life – artistic and fine art photography.
There are two primary motivations. The first is to capture a womans beauty and uniqueness. This alone is quite challenging and rewarding. The second is to hone my skills by experimenting with technique, lighting, and poses.
I would like to thank each subject I have worked with and to thank you for visiting this blog. At this time, I am only looking for models on a TFCD basis. If you like my work and would like to shoot, please drop me an email at jay@huntliimages.com
“Renoir… once said that were it not for the female body, he never could have become a painter. This is clear: there is love for women in each detail of the canvas, and love for self, and there is joy, and there is a degree of sensual integration that makes you want to weep, so beautiful it seems, and so elusive.” – Appetites: Why Women Want by Caroline Knapp
The above quote from Renoir could be equally applied to my photography. For me, there is nothing more beautiful. When shooting, I move from full or 3/4 length to headshots and back again as I see something different, unique and beautiful.
