Jason Sliviak Photography
At JDS Photography, I focus on a pleasing image to the eye as Art,
Not just the technical details.

I specialize in creative photography and fine art, so I look at photography differently than most.

Some just capture a moment; I try to find Art in every image.

I am available for all types of photography including Individual or family Portraits, Model Portfolios, Acting Headshots, Event, Product/Commercial, Automotive and Real-estate photography.

I also offer Fine Art Gallery Prints to hang in your home or office.

I have a unique specialty in low light photography for Concerts / Nightlife, Receptions & Corporate events. Not being able to settle for standard pictures, I have developed my own ways to overcome the problems of shooting in low light.

I am currently the Boston Area event photographer for ClubZone.com.

Why chose JDS Photography?

I’m sure some would inevitably say, “I can get my picture taken for less”

Yes, it’s true, you can get your pictures taken for less but you do get what you pay for.

1. Personalized service – I can come to your Home or Business with a portable studio.

2. I do not lure you in with a ‘free sitting’ or ‘Free 8x10’ and then charge you for every additional print or individual service. I give you the images on CD/DVD to keep and use how you wish.

3. I offer touch up services at no additional charge because I want the pictures to look their best.

4. I take the time to set up the lighting to complement the individual. Most big Studios have a lighting set up that does not change and is flat even lighting. This may be good for some shots and terrible for others. Below is an example of how the right lighting and angle can dramatically change someone’s portrait.

Artist Bio:

I have been an artist from an early age. My primary medium was drawing but I also enjoyed painting. In grade school one of my drawings was selected to be featured on the cover of the Town’s Annual Report. Later in High school my art teacher asked to submit one of my drawings into a regional competition hosted by the Boston Globe. She later presented me with a certificate of the Boston Globe Golden Key award.

I had an interested in Photography in School but could not afford a camera. Fast forward through life and the responsibilities of the world and I slowly stopped drawing and painting. I got married in 1999 and in 2000 my Wife and I were expecting our first child. Ironically I still did not own a camera. With a child on the way, I would need a camera and knew I could not get a simple ‘point and shoot’. The rest is self evident.

I was very excited about photography as my artistic creativity was renewed. Every creative person needs an outlet, be it music, dance, Painting etc. and Photography is my current medium of choice.

I have done many kinds of Photography, but my real focus is Fine Art Photography.

I am for the most part self taught, however I have attended workshops at:
Whitepines College (now Chester College)
New Hampshire Institute of Art
SOPHA (The Studio of Photographic Arts).

I have a Certificate from Nikon School, and have attended one day classes with famous Photographers such as Robert Zimmerman, David Mecey, Moose Peteson, Michael Grecco, Tyler Stableford and Lou Jones.
