Random M9 Shots…. Abbeville locals

jasoncohenphoto — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 04:05:33 +0000

I had the chance to take off the afternoon this past week and shoot a little in Abbeville, LA. Everyone was extremely friendly and we had a blast… From a biker with a record shop, some local wrestlers, and just an 92 year old nice man. Such a diverse group of characters. Here are a few…

Blessings.

Acadiana Rescue Foundation of Louisiana (ARF-LA) fundraiser shoot this Saturday!

jasoncohenphoto — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:17:35 +0000

I just wanted to share some info for an upcoming fund raising shoot that I am involved with this coming Saturday. We are doing a fundraiser for ARF-LA which rescues stray, abandoned, & surrendered pet and finds loving homes for them. I have two rescued dogs of my own so this is something that is near and dear to my heart…

Please bring your pet out on Saturday and make a small donation to this great cause!

I am attaching the poster/info below and please feel free to email me if you have any questions. I hope that we have a ton of people come out to support this great cause!

You can visit their website and Facebook page for more information.

Day 30 – Creative Shoot

jasoncohenphoto — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 19:03:01 +0000

I had the opportunity to schedule a shoot while my good friend Ben Spell was in over the Christmas break. I had been wanting to do something like this for a while, and everything ended up falling into place for this one… Our real hope was just to take the time to set up things and not rush from one shot to the other… Special thanks to Keri & Tory for coming out and modeling for us. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Blessings.

Day 28 – Scott

jasoncohenphoto — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:00:21 +0000

My good friend, and fellow photographer, Scott Simon came in from New Orleans to hang out with me for the day and it really was great being able to spend the time with him. He keeps up a great blog iHeartnola which gives some great insight into New Orleans food, music, culture, and more. If you are looking for good local insider info for New Orleans it is a great website to check out….

As Scott was about to leave for the day I realized how important, and at times lost, the portrait is. Scott was generous enough to sit for me for a portrait and here are 3 frames from that…. I shot a couple with the Hasselblad, but those have to come after I process the film :)

Day 15 – Haiti relief… You can make a difference today!

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:53:22 +0000

Yesterday morning I put up a couple post on Facebook & Twitter about having a bit of a fundraiser opportunity at the office to raise money and awareness for Haiti relief funds. The deal was that you would come by for an espresso drink (Mocha/Latte’/Cappuccino) and donate “tips” to goto Haiti… All I can say is that I have the most amazing people around me because yesterday we were able to raise over $300 that will be going to Haiti!!!

I made the decision to extend this until today and I will be in the office from 10-3 service coffee (the best espresso around I might add :) and feel free to come by when you are free… My office is at 2504 Johnston St. and I hope to see a whole bunch of people come out… I would love to double what we were able to raise yesterday!

Oh and I also took a pics of those who came and I just wanted to share them…

Blessings.

Out of town on the road this week…

jasoncohenphoto — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 03:37:29 +0000

This is a week that I have been looking forward to for a while… Just myself, a passenger (my good friend Jamie), my Leica (camera), and the open road… We are taking the week to just do some creative shooting before the year is up and to come away refreshed for the new year. We we will be traveling throughout Louisiana for the week and I will do my best to do a couple updates throughout the week here on my blog. The best way to get in touch with me is by email if you need anything. I hope that everyone has a fantastic week…

Here is an image that I shot with my Leica last week….

Blessings.

Kansas City – Part 2

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 29 May 2009 02:03:57 +0000

I just wanted to put up a couple more images from my trip. It was really great to get a break and I feel so refreshed coming into this weekends weddings (even with the lack of sleep from last night’s late night critique). Who needs more than 45 minutes of sleep after all?

Blessings.

Jamie actually shot this one with my camera… This is right after the death match between Jason Domingues and myself in racquetball. You can just guess who won :)

We were waiting in the airport on the way home and they had a fallen soldier who had come in on the flight. It was an extremely somber moment in what is usually the hustle and bustle of the airport.

Kansas City – Day 1

jasoncohenphoto — Mon, 25 May 2009 03:39:08 +0000

I am spending a couple days this week visiting my good friend Jason Domingues with Jamie for a much needed break and some R&R. The plan is to shoot a bunch and drink a lot of great coffee :) I am hoping to post a couple images once a day or every other day so make sure to come back for updates. Have a great week!

M8 shots of the week – Ernest Babineaux

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 23:38:19 +0000

This week I had the opportunity to spend some time with my good friend Ben Spell, who was in from photography school in Massachusetts, shooting some for Parish to Parish and other personal work. On our way out to Parks, LA we passed by a house that caught my eye and I knew that we had to stop in. Mr. Babineaux gladly allowed us to photograph him and his house and shared a bit of his life with us in the process.

Right now I am entering the craziest time for me in the year and it was so refreshing to slow down, take out my camera, and spend some time with a stranger. I need to do that more often. Below are just a couple images that were my favorites.

Blessings.

NYC – 1st Set

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 05:13:43 +0000

I had the chance to spend some time in New York City this past week shooting, both personally and for clients, and it was so refreshing to spend so much time in front of the camera. I had such a blast just looking out for the small things and shooting strangers on the subway. One of the most amazing things that I realized was that every time I would see something it was for the first time, and I would try and shoot it as if it was completely new to me. Previously unknown. Some how I need to figure out how to approach everything that I shoot like this.

I will be posting a bunch of the images every couple of days so make sure to check back.

Blessings.

If you are interested in coming to our next meeting drop me a line via email and I will make sure to get you on the email list. All of these were shot with my m8 & 35 asph lux.

Massachusetts day 2

jasoncohenphoto — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 03:01:42 +0000

It was so great today to get behind the camera a bit today just for fun and walk around. It was so refreshing to be be able to have a little time with really no agenda other than to shoot. Here are a couple from today and I am looking forward to the workshop in Boston tomorrow.

Blessings.

I just thought that I would just post a couple images from a recent shoot that we had some fun on. We ended up setting up a light at a friends dorm room at LSU and shot random people as they would come by… Here are just a couple of us from the shoot… I am not even sure who these pink glasses are for :)

Thanks to Jamie for shooting this one of me :)

M8 Shots of the week – Hurricane Gustav Recovery

jasoncohenphoto — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 04:26:09 +0000

Jen & I had an opportunity to help out a little bit this week at United Way working with Food Net to put together food boxes for areas that were hit hard with the hurricane. This week has been a bit crazy since the hurricane and it was great to get out and help a little bit. I just wanted to share a little bit since I didn’t get a chance to shoot much this week until today. I hope that everyone has a great weekend and I am hoping to shoot some of the harder hit areas next week.

Blessings.

Camera Club – The results!

jasoncohenphoto — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:25:29 +0000

First off let me just say thanks to everyone who came tonight to join us for the first “camera club.” I really had a great time meeting everyone and hearing about your passion for photography and learning. Sometimes it is nice to drop all of the formalities of the photography business and just talk with other people about their love for taking pictures. I hope that everyone comes out again next time and I will be keeping updates on the blog as soon as we decide all of the specifics. Thanks again everyone and here are a couple shots from tonight (I was in a black & white mood).

Blessings.

Monica & James are Engaged!

jasoncohenphoto — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 18:34:59 +0000

Yesterday Jen, Ben, & I headed down to New Orleans for what Monica thought was a “portfolio shoot” but in reality was for James to propose. The first couple are the actual proposal and after that are a couple from the “portfolio shoot.” We had such an awesome time and congratulations to both of you!

Blessings.

Back Home…

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:09:38 +0000

It is hard to believe that I was in Kansas less than 36 hours ago and that our trip came to a close almost as quickly as it started. If I can think of one word to sum this trip up it is: refreshed. It was almost like though all of the shooting/editing/emailing I had begun to forget why I do this and every day became routine. I was reminded by everyone of my love for picking my camera and shooting the things that I pass up every day that are beautiful. Thanks again to Jamie & Ben for joining me on this trip and the Domingues family for treating us like their own family.

Blessings.
