Jerry Abramowicz Photography

I live a double life, one as a location scout and manager for TV & Film and the other as a photographer. I must admit it can be a bit taxing but in the end, very rewarding. I travel around and see things most people never do from beautiful landscapes, great architecture to odd looking structures in the strangest places. I have the pleasure of meeting all sorts of people from all walks of life and I can say with ease that only a few I could have done without. Whether I’m taking pictures or getting permits I take a moment to enjoy where I am. I guess that’s what I want to get across to you is that whether you get a shot or not, take that moment and enjoy the people and your surroundings. To me that’s half the pleasure of doing what I do. Those experiences and wonderful conversations you will have can last a life time. It can also change how you feel about the shot you were thinking about. One moment it’s just a chair, the next it has meaning. The shot above is just a bus shelter; I took it from inside my jeep on a very rainy evening while out scouting locations with a director I was working with. After we had driven around and talked about it (and many more) he got me thinking about coming back and reshooting it properly (instead of on the fly at 6400iso). You see, now I had some stories to add emotion to the shot. This lone shelter in a desolate area now has meaning. Whether I shoot it at different times of day or seasons I now can tell a story about it all because of a simple conversation.
