I had a great time with these guys at Guirard Park a couple weeks ago and just wanted to share a few. Lindsay and Trey have been good friends for a while and it is so hard to believe how big Benjamin has gotten.

Europe Pre-Print Sale

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 17:41:46 +0000

I have the privilege of traveling to Italy at the beginning of next month to shoot a wedding with my good friend Riccis Valladares. I am super excited about the wedding and that I will be spending the rest of the month traveling and shooting around Europe. I can’t wait for the creative break after the busy wedding season and for the re-charge to come back into the rest of the year. One of the most exciting aspects of the trip is for me to have the ability to shoot a ton of personal work. This is really the first time for me in a while where I can shoot exclusively for myself.

So on to the good stuff…. I will be offering fine art prints from my trip after I return, however I am also offering a “pre-print sale” so that you can still purchase prints, just at a lower price. After I return you will have a gallery of images to choose from to print in the size that you purchase in the pre-print sale. I am also including a couple prints that I have already shot while traveling that are options to print (in the case that you would prefer one of these). You will find those options below.

All images will be printed on archival paper and will be signed. They will be delivered by August 31st. All ordering/payment must be completed by June 25th, all orders after then will be at my standard fine art printing price (double the pre-print sale price).

Pricing & sample images are below, and please email me directly through my “contact” page on my website if you would like to order prints. There is a break in the price if you decide to order 2 of the same size (this only applies if both prints are the same size).

Individual 8×10 Print – $50 | (2) 8×10 Prints – $80
Individual 11×14 Print – $100 | (2) 11×14 Prints – $150
Individual 16×20 Print – $175 | (2) 16×20 Prints – $300

Blessings.

These next two are examples of what the finished prints will look like

Shannon & Auggie Wedding

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 21:04:54 +0000

This is long overdue but I just wanted to post a few of my favorites from their wedding. They had a beautiful intimate ceremony at the W Hotel in New Orleans and I was so honored to be a part of their day. They gave me an extended amount of time to shoot with them around the quarter which was amazing. Just a couple…..

Blessings.

2 Day Creative shoot with Southern Fete

jasoncohenphoto — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:14:54 +0000

I had the chance to do some creative shooting with some good friends last week. Basically I set up 4 assignments for us all to have for 2 full days of shooting and to end each day with several hour intensive late night critiques from what we shot during the day (our early night was 1am :).

We went into the first day not knowing which assignments we would have and the one that I happened to pick out of the jar was Valerie of Southern Fete. I had an absolute blast following her around and she was so great to let me tag along with her. We went from florists, to cake vendors, to shoe stores (everyone in Lafayette I believe), and everywhere in between. It was extremely eye opening seeing the day through a wedding vendor whose day looks so different than mine. Valerie is also planning her wedding so it was interesting to see how she blends what she does as a wedding planner with the process of planning her own wedding. The approach for shooting it was 80% documentary and 20% portrait.

The whole purpose was to have a time for creative growth (as well as get some constructive criticism) without going somewhere else to attend a workshop. I don’t have anything against workshops, I just think that sometimes that we put too much emphasis on “going to” a workshop when really everything you need is right in front of you. Not to say that what you would learn at a workshop were the same things that we learned, or even of the same quality, but what I was looking for did happen.

I really tried to think to myself what everyone is looking for who attends a workshop. Really what is it that I am looking for when I have a desire to go to a workshop? It is very simple. GROWTH. Growth from where we were yesterday. Growth to photograph someone who we wouldn’t normally photograph, or in a way that we wouldn’t normally photograph. Growth that pushes me outside of my comfort zone and makes me really think before each time I fire a frame off.

Thanks so much to Val for letting me intrude on her life for two days as well as everyone else who participated in our creative shoot ( Jamie Orillion, Ooti Billeaud, & Dan Sutton).

I hope that it is something that I can do again sometime.

Just a few of my favorites from the two days…

Blessings.

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 28 May 2010 19:51:10 +0000

I had a blast with these guys last week in the Dallas area. They we great to hang out with and I can’t wait for their wedding. It was actually my first engagement session where I only shot my Leica M9 and it really freeing to have so little focus on the camera.

Just a few of my favorites.

Blessings.

Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows

jasoncohenphoto — Fri, 14 May 2010 21:07:02 +0000

I had the chance to collaborate a couple weeks ago with my good friends Jamie Orillion & Daniel Kedinger of Crucé Design to photograph the Sisters of Charity in Shreveport, LA. It was an amazing two days of shooting and I was so thankful for them to open up their doors and lives to us. They commited to working with others through education, caring for the sick, the aging, and the poor.

It was an honor to be able to spend some time with them and to spend a few days in a place that was so far outside of what my normal life is like. Truly refreshing.

Blessings.

It isn’t very often these days that I get to attend friends weddings, much less be one of the best men/photographer all at the same time :) I had the pleasure to be all 3 at my friends Rhia & Zak’s wedding in Houston last year . I didn’t realize that I had never put any images here until not long ago…. I hope that you enjoy

Blessings.

I loved this moment between Rhia & Zak during the ceremony….

Some how or another this guy got a how of my camera at the reception….

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…

Boudreaux Family

I was so honored to be able to photograph Kristen, Bryan, & Evie a couple weeks ago. They have been great friends and recently moved from Lafayette to San Antonio and it was great to catch up with them while they were in town. It is so crazy to see how big Evie has gotten in what seems to be no time at all (see link below).

I had the privileged of being a part of Valerie & Tyler’s actual proposal this morning and I just wanted to share a few of the images. It was such an amazing experience (my hands were literally shaking before she walked in).

Tyler proposed in Crowley, LA at the Crowley Opera House which is just a stunning place.

Congrats to Valerie & Tyler and I am sure that you will be seeing more of this couple soon!

Probably one of my favorites…

Inspiration

jasoncohenphoto — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:50:38 +0000

I rarely post much that does not have something do directly with myself just because I honestly rarely have the time to do much “leisure” surfing on the internet and spending most of my days being as “productive” for every minute of the day that I can be.

I came across this video while jumping around couple sites and it is not often that I find myself literally mesmerized by what is on my computer and unable to even look away at anything else in the room.

This was one of those rare times. By the time the video was over I really was just sitting with my mouth open (probably had been this way for a couple minutes). I was so amazed at the level of work and creativity that went into everything that I couldn’t help but share. The attention to detail and strength of compositions is just nothing short of incredible.

Take a couple minutes out of your day, no matter what you are doing and make sure to watch it in full screen :) I hope that it inspires you as it did for me.

Blessings.
Jason
