For a little history, I purchased my first camera in 2001 when my Brother, a few friends and I were heading to Switzerland for a killer ski/ snowboard trip in the Alps. The camera I decided to purchase after incredible scrutiny and compromise, was the Canon Digital elf 2 megapixel point and shoot. A great little Ultra compact camera to say the least. It was about the size of a deck of cards and fit in my Snowboard pants pocket perfectly! After reading the manual and playing with it for a few weeks I realized I was in Love with Photography:) And just like that I was hooked big time!!
Michele and Sadie
My love of photography started with Landscapes, but has since grown into Weddings, Portraits, Architecture, Sports and pretty much all aspects of photography. I’m all self taught with the help of dozens of books, the internet, and of course great friends I have met along the way.
Creating tutorials started shortly after understanding what I was doing and wanting to share my knowledge back to the Forum that helped me; Photocamel.com. Since then I have ventured off into JHPVideoTutorials.com and really enjoy creating tutorials as a hobby. It’s fun and keeps me sharp with all the software and camera gear ect..
About 3 years ago I met the love of my life and now Partner in Jason Hermann Photography, Michele.
Having Michele on the team has certainly gotten us to the next level. Handling babies and posing people is also a tuff feat at times and Michele is amazing at it. Lets me focus more on the technical stuff such as lighting, exposure, ect.. Michele is also a very talented? photographer herself and over the past few years has become a huge asset to Jason Hermann Photography!!
