JAY RICKARD - LIGHT WEAVER
BLISS: You've been shooting for over two decades now. What differences do you see in this industry now as compared to when you started out?
JAY RICKARD: I think that there are more guys out there to choose from. Modeling in general was such "woman's work" back in the day and guys were just used as props. Now the guys are taking front and center more often.
B: How did you first get interested in photography?
JR: Pretty typically actually. I was in journalism in High School. We had a terrific new darkroom, some nice cameras and a wonderful journalism teacher... but no photography program. Every couple of weeks there would be a different portrait photographer from the area who came in and gave lessons. One of them hired me to be a gopher when he shot weddings. Sorry that was so boring. LOL!
B: What type of look are you attracted to in terms of models?
JR: You know I don't consciously look for any particular "type" really. But the guys who are usually willing to pose are the muscular, toned, fit ones. Faces are really important to me. I like character in a face.
