About Me

contact me: click on my business card!
This is me , plain and simple!
FIRE SPIRITS 2006 SERIES:
MY name is Justin Dodd and my absolute passion is landscape and nature photography.
JRD photography is about vision and perspective. Its about capturing moments for an eternity, and capturing the essence and beauty of the world around you in only a single photograph. Its also about creation and imagination, and giving birth to visions. JRD photography specializes in custom art including landscape and scenic photography, digital photo paintings, portraitures, event and commericial photography (Gigs and bands...see upcoming events and graphic design with local ACID BRAIN WASH promotions and artists. See Kevin Ransom music profile), and graphic design, layout and printing. Be sure to click on my photos to see example shots and images that I have compiled. All landscape and many prints are for sale, but I also do commissioned private work for people to bring vision to their values and interests. Example shots are also included from my collection to exemplify some of my recent work. The electronic files that exemplify my work are very small files that lack printability. Quality is assured only on original prints, avalable in all sizes!
JRD Photography as a business is a fully functional on location photography service that provides commercial services for real estate companies as a foundation and business base. I do all the photography for DR Horton in the area surrounding Charlotte ( see www.DRHortonCharlotte.com) and many others including, CRAFTSMAN HANDMADE HOMES in Spruce Pine, NC.
The purpose of this site is mainly dedicated to the other 50% of the business concerned only with pursuing more artistic endeavors.... in search of the perfect image and for exemplifying the beauty found all around...particularly in the natural world around us. JRD will continue to grow and evolve...thank you to all for your business, support, and friendship. I am available for hire, but please call or email me with some advance notice and for initial consultation. Please do the same to further inquire about gallery pricing and other galleries. See my profile business card for contact information. Thank you for taking the time to check out my work and feel free to leave feedback, bad, or good!!
