Jasin Boland

Last night I had the opportunity to spend time with a world famous photographer Jasin Boland. Most of you would not know who he is but many of you have seen his pictures, he is a movie stills photographer and has covered many of the worlds big blockbuster movies. In fact next Wednesday he is off to China to do another movie with Jackie Chan and will try and get one of the pictures I have taken of Jackie Chan autographed for me when I met and photographed him some time ago now.

I really enjoy photography and am passionate about it, Jasin has my all time dream job, and who knows I may even follow in similar footsteps in time to come. This You Tube clip really highlights Jasin's enthusiasm and commitment to his craft and it is infectious. I really am appreciative of his time and words of encouragement.

This man numbers Tom Cruise, Brendan Fraser, Will Smith, Matt Damon and many other major celebrities as friends, he knows them and more importantly, they know him! I think it would be fair to say that his eye and perception is very good. His attitude and warmth is evident and certainly would be a major factor why these people like and employ him. I share his enthusiasm and passion for the image.



He is on the Nikon stand at the PMA show in Sydney today and tomorrow at 4:15pm in Sydney's Darling Harbour exhibition centre if you want to meet him! It is the biggest photographic show in the country and it is amazing to see all the vendors and all the equipment, it is a photographers equipment dream. I am involved for Nikon doing training on some cameras for members of the public today and tomorrow as well using Nikon's new D5000 camera for people who are new to DSLR, and it is fun. This is mecca to a lot of closet and professional photographers, so if you like cameras or photography come on down.
