"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever...It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything." -Aaron Siskund

Hello, My name is Jared C. Kay.

I'm a mostly down to earth & humble person. I do not like to boast, yet I take pride in my work, and strive to be the best I possibly can. I am a photographer who wants to make good photos as much as you want good photos. If you feel a connection with my work, it is likely we would make a successful collaboration.
Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina,
I find I don’t need to travel far to find creative inspiration, and unique shooting locations.
I am 25 and Happily married to a beautiful hispanic girl, who was in fact my high-school sweetheart.
I am a technology geek. I have always loved gadgets, cameras, and computers (apple namely).
I enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, and cars (honda's to be exact).
I love exploring the mountains & countryside with my camera, my wife, & my dog cookie.
I also have a thing for bookstores (a wealth of knowledge), and good coffee shops.

Experience:
Attended college for Broadcast Production Technology.
Employed by WAEN/WSQY TV for 2 years as an editor.
I currently operate an Asheville based Video Production Business : specializing in event coverage, promotional videos, and virtual tours. (www.amplified-media.com)
I am always studying & learning. Regularly attend the Digital Media Institute at BRCC (a great program for sharpening your skills by the way).
A wise man once said:
"The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable."
- Kurt Vonnegut -
I strive to live by those words, and keep photography a sacred bond between myself, and the world around me.

Thanks for visiting.

Jared C. Kay
