Jerry Metellus Photography, Inc.
About
I'm a seasoned, published, advertising and celebrity photographer who has produced campaigns, magazine spreads, made several TV appearances, namely on America's Next Top Model on three occasions.
My specialty is photographing people from all walks of life. My strength is bringing out their inner Light so it radiates on their 'outside'. When that inner Beauty is exposed, they truly get to "see" themselves. This is particularly impactful with those who fear the camera being aimed at them.
You can see samples of my work and philosophy on my IG page: @JerryMetellus
I love it when my clients see their inner Light painted on their outer layer for the first time and are moved by what/who they see on the screen.
I also work with a lot of dancers that I'm able to capture in ways that they've rarely seen themselves in.
My favorite things to hear "This is the first time that I like a picture of myself!" or "I've never seen myself like this!"
Those are the gifts that brings me great Joy!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to ask my potential clients as many questions as possible, to understand what their goal is, to be better prepared and to best serve them.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My previous life was in front of the camera as an actor, model and dancer. That experience helped me understand the feeling of having a lens aimed at you, along with the discomfort and awkwardness that might come with it all. I'm therefore able to direct and walk my subjects to a place of comfort, well being and safety.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I price on a case by case basis according to what the goal is and how much time might be involved. (i.e.: Are we in the studio or on location? Is there distance to cover, with travel time to factor in, to meet the client or reach the location? Do we need to hire a makeup and hair artist?)
