Jay Maisel – Commercial Photographer

The ‘Thought for the Weekend’ last Friday was by Jay Maisel. In that he said, “I’m more interested in the picture quality than the pixel quality”, meaning that he’d prefer to increase his ISO than have a blurred image. Jay is a long time on the go and has some brilliant nuggets of advice just like the one above that stem from a lifetime in photography. Search for his name on this blog alone and you’ll get some more of his thoughts that we’ve published in the past.

Below is a short video featuring him in what appears to be an almost subliminal advertisement for a certain make of printer. Never mind that however, just soak in the innate photographic wisdom of this man.
