Introduction: Jason Thomas is a cinematographer and photographer who is based in NYC and with over 25 years of experience.
His expertise ranges from serving as director of photography for drama documentary films, media cameraman, wedding event and fashion videographer/photographer.
When asked to comment on his work, Jason says, I try to capture a moment of visceral truth in people. I believe it's the purest form of photography. All that exists between myself and the sitter is the lens, the light and the location. Inexperienced people (at being photographed) are often the best subjects. Photography should go beyond appearance, beyond lighting and composition, to a language without words, to personality, to empathy, to philosophy, and to whatever it is you are trying to say.
