Hi David,
I burn 2 copies of each shoot to a DVD, I also have 5 external 500 GB hard drives and each shoot gets backed up to those as well. Eventually I do delete some shoots that I know will never be needed again.

- Tell us about yourself?
- Jason Christopher is a fashion photographer based in Los Angeles California. His work has been described as Classic, romantic and clean. These are three qualities that make up a perfect image and Jason nails it every time.
Born in Southern California he picked up his first camera at age 14. It was a Canon AE-1. Bought with the money he saved from his paper route, Jason began photographing the beauty that surrounded him in his hometown of Westlake Village California. In high school he began to take interest in the beautiful Italian designers that he saw in fashion magazines such as Vogue, Italian Vogue, and W magazine. Being 100% Italian it was love at first sight.
He then began to assist celebrity photographer Jerry Avenaim. It was during that period, Jason honed his technical skills in photography. What resonated with Jason the most in the experience, was how he learned to direct and communicate with his subjects. A lesson that stayed resolute, with the result laying in the perfect expression or emotion Jason draws from a subject in his photographs. This dynamic combination of experience and connection reflects in all the images he creates today.
Their friendship continues as they remain close friends. Each having the great fortune to have found their profound passions in their craft.
The photography of Jason Christopher has been compared to the French painter Degas and the Italian master of artistry Leonardo Da Vinci for the way he uses clean, classic lines of the body resembling a piece of fine art. Combine these qualities with his edgy, sharp lighting and you have the recipe for photography that anyone can appreciate and identify with, oftentimes finding a part of them in each of his photographs.
Armed with intensity, passion and a contagious laughter, he commands control of his set and earns the respect and trust that his models and team have come to love and enjoy with every shoot.
His motto: "Be prepared, or prepare to fail."
- What type of photography do you do?
- I shoot fashion photography for catalogs, advertising, editorial and sometimes head shots.
- What is your inspiration in photography?
- My inspiration for when I shoot people is to literally reach into their soul and expose their deepest emotions and capture that on film. That takes trust between the model and photographer. When it works, the connection is an amazing high !
