Jonathan Jaii is a creative photographer based in New York City, specializing in fashion, model and personal portfolio photography. This studio focus grew out of his own work as a model and his lifelong love affair with fashion.
Jonathan Jaii was born and raised in The Bronx, having a keen interest in the performing arts, particularly dance and movement. His professional experience has been predominantly as a stylist and visual merchandiser for retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdales. His work experience combined with his personal experiences helps shape his unique creative vision as a photographer.
Jonathan Jaii’s photographs are instantly recognizable for their sense of flow and movement and distinctive style. His philosophy of business is “client first.” The unique vision he develops for each shoot grows out of time he takes getting to know every client personally. The end result is photographs that are fresh and creative, and deeply reflective of the person or business they represent.
"Everything that I've learned in the past has made me the photographer I am today. I love what I do. I love to work with people; working closely with designers, makeup artists and hairstylists to form a strong team.
I will always challenge myself: creating new ideas, concepts and imagery. I have put my sweat, blood and tears (literally) into doing something that I love. I will continue to chase my dream and not my competition. Believe and you will prosper. With that said, I hope you’re ready for your close-up."
