Eine gute Mischung der beiden Stile von Hendrik Purienne und Terry Richardson und voilà heraus kommt eine Jared Thomas Kocka. Jared lebte in Minneapolis, bevor er nach einer Nacht- und Nebelaktion, bei der er eine DSLR Kamera kaufte, kurz darauf nach L.A. zog, um als professioneller Fotograf Fuß zu fassen.
Elle:
How did you become involved with photography? Do you remember your first camera?
Jared Thomas:
I basically got into photography as a creative outlet in my mid 20s. When I was younger I played music. I played in a band and toured the country and did that whole thing. So in my mid 20s I decided that it was time for me to stop playing music get a real job and adult. But I quickly realized that I hated that idea and so on black friday I bought my first DSLR it was a canon 60D. I maxed out my credit cards and bought it at best buy. But I basically just got into it as a hobby and something to do.
Elle:
Would you give a brief walk through your work flow?
Jared Thomas:
Honestly my work flow is a bit fucked. I basically just have the model or models show up and we just shoot some random stuff and try to create some fun and interesting images. then a little retouching and call it a day. Nothing too crazy or planned out haha.
Elle:
How do you choose your models? What kind of features should a model have to work with you?
Jared Thomas:
I choose my models a number of different ways. It really all just depends on what I am looking for at the time.
Elle:
Tell us something to your way of thinking and acting for your project „Models on VHS”!
Jared Thomas:
Models on VHS is just really something is just for fun. I basically just started doing it for fun. So I just kinda direct the models and just create some funny stuff. Its really pretty simple for the most part.
Elle:
What do you think of music? Do you need music during your photo shoots?
Jared Thomas:
Always have music playing while you shoot. its helps get people in rhythm together and also fills up all the silence and helps to diffuse any awkwardness. It is a must!
