What are the people sayin’?
“His images capture the spirit of our events and eliminate the contrived photos that are typical of awards ceremonies and outdoor events. He is extremely professional, and non-intrusive while interacting with guests. He captures the moment at our events in so many different ways we can't quite figure out how he got from here to there in that amount of time - but its impressive. And he provides our photos quickly so we can send them out to our community in a timely manner.
When planning events you are always looking for great vendors who, in addition to providing stellar service, make your life easier the day of the big event. Jason DeSomer does this, and I can't recommend his services enough.”

“I run a monthly nightlife event here in Portland OR that gets hundreds of attendees. Jason DeSomer has taken photos for us and run a photo booth. The images he's caught of our Performers, Dancers, DJ's and attendees has been beyond amazing and more than what we were expecting. Jason is professional, efficient, friendly, reliable and his photos speak volumes about his work and passion for photography!!! Not to mention, his turn around is very fast. We're 100% satisfied with his work. I'll definitely be hiring him again and I would strongly recommend hiring him for your event or special day!”

“I had an amazing experience with Jason DeSomer. He demonstrates every quality I find excellent in a photographer. He's excited about his work and shows passion in every project he comes up against.
His skill with his medium of lighting and photography displayed the emotion each shoot was meant to show with an added flair of his creativity. He is incredibly versatile in his style in photography and Jason is a very personable photographer that makes you feel very comfortable in front the lense and is great at helping direct you to your desired angles. Overall, I loved everything about the shoot experience and I would highly recommend Jason DeSomer to anyone!”

“Jason is so awesome. I honestly can't recommend him highly enough. He's very professional and his quality of work is PHENOMENAL! He really took the time to make sure the shots we got were what we wanted, which included sometimes redirecting me or my friend in the shoot, and sometimes changing the angle or the lighting that he himself was using. He has a great eye for getting the right shot (between camera angle, lens, lighting, and subject placement and position).
Basically, you can really tell that he loves what he's doing and want you to love being in front of his camera, too. The work he has represented here is very accurate of what his shots are like, and every time I've worked with him I've been so so happy with the results. I will definitely be working with him again!”

“Working with Jason is a blast. He's super helpful and easy to talk to and communicate with. He's always looking for a way to to be helpful to you in anyway he can, be that pricing or location, or date. During shooting he's always helpful with coming up with shots or poses depending on what you're looking for. And the final shots are awesome! Very well edited and because he doesn't limit the number of shots, there's such a variety and no limits on what could happen. Definitely my best photoshoot experience!”

“To get right to the point, Whatever.Photo creates stunning images.
Jason combines a natural eye for pleasing aesthetics with a solid understanding and talent for manipulating the technical aspects of his art. He's flexible and excited about creating the pictures YOU want in the environment you choose.
I'm a new writer, with my first story heading for publication this year. I needed portraits for marketing, and I wanted those images to suit a variety of purposes. I left the session with options ranging from traditional to whimsical, from casual to playful. In short, exactly what I was looking for. Through the entire time, Jason maintained a friendly, professional demeanor that had me feeling entirely confident and at ease.
A fabulous experience, with exceptional results. Jailbreak photography will create the pictures you want.”
