"Jason's genius is not that he paints his subjects with a rose-colored lens, but that he sees the inspirational in the ordinary more clearly than the rest of us."
Kim Gudeman, Associate Director of Communications
"Quite often, you will see a photographer’s book and be really impressed. But not having worked with them before, there are several questions. Will they be easy to work with? Will they see things the same way as I do. Will they stay focused and do ANYTHING to get the shot? Will they take my concept and make it even better? And, will they remain professional and courteous to clients and talent, despite unsreasonable requests or conditions? Well, I would answer YES to all of the above when referring to Jason. But those aren’t the only reasons I enjoy working with Jason. He also has great eye and a desire for shots that look “real” and not staged. He loves to keep shooting and has an incredible work ethic. And, best of all, he is fun to work with. I have had the pleasure to have worked with Jason for over 7 years and have seen him become one of the top photographers in the country. I would definitely recommend him to others."
Scott Krahn, Creative Director
"Jason is a bad motherfucker. He gets his hands dirty and genuinely cares about the creative. He is humble, passionate and complete creative partner. You are lucky to work with him. I was."
Surf Melendez, Associate Creative Director
"Jason is an amazing talent and a valuable partner. He is personable and able to make everyone on set, including the talent, feel comfortable. This leads to warm, genuine and compelling photography. He also has a keen understanding of our design and branding efforts, but elevates the direction so that it surprises and delights. And, Jason is able to capture both stills and motion which enabled us to have a more versatile image library that better suits our digital age."
Bonnie Overton, Associate Creative Director
"We've always looked to Jason for great still work, but he's fast become one of our go-to guys for motion, as well. I've really been impressed by Jason's ability to transition between still photography and motion simultaneously. It gives us a level of consistency and efficiency that would be much more difficult to achieve with separate still and motion shooters. It's to the point where my clients request that Jason shoots everything in their campaigns, because they know he's going to make them look great across the board."
John Ruebush, Associate Creative Director, JUMP Company
“If I’m in the woods filled with spiders the size of small children, or an alligator-infested swamp, who’s the first one to jump in the swamp to get the perfect angle? Jason Lindsey. If it’s raining and 40, instead of sunny and 60, who manages to use the rain to his advantage to create the most beautiful shot, ever? Jason Lindsey. Jason makes the seemingly impossible, possible, again and again. He captures humanity in a beautiful way. He works quickly without a lot of set up and likes to see where the situation takes him. As a result, we always end up with more images than we could ever choose from. He pays incredibly close attention to detail during the pre-production of the shoot. As a producer, I value his input and his willingness to collaborate with the creative team. Clients love his easy demeanor, & he’s a pleasure to travel with.”
Kelly Ladwig, Agency Producer
"Jason Lindsey is one of my favorite photographer/directors, he is a problem solver and has a very clear creative vision for his projects. He gets it, and with his experience, he can easily pinpoint the most efficient way to pull off amazing photography despite obstacles. He gets involved in the production without being overbearing, and is always really enthusiastic about creating beautiful images. To top that off - he is a really fun guy with a huge heart, which makes it really enjoyable on set. I look forward to my next job with him!"
Sady Callaghan, Executive Producer, Purple Lamb Productions
“I believe one of Jason's greatest strengths is that he has a design background that allows him to really work with and understand what a designer is wanting to capture. He becomes part of the creative team and pushes our ideas. Every time I work with Jason I enjoy his vision, ideas, collaboration and company. The end result is always more then what I expected and my clients are always blown away.”
Nick Jibben, Creative Director, Senior Vice President
“You know how your recollection of a moment is centered on the sensory? A part of the memory has a strong pull and you dwell on it, and the details that surround become sort of weightless, but you can still feel it all over like humidity. Jason Lindsey finds and captures images that inspire memory and touch on the sensory. It's the way I want to remember people, and time. And no lack of memories for the travel - Jason and his assistant, Talia offer the comfort of friendship and laughter. If you're disappointed, you're not human.”
Theresa Graff, Creative Director
"I've worked with Jason for 9 years. My experience working with Jason could not be better. He has a terrific sense of place and people and always brings something unexpected to the shot. He sees something the rest of us don't and is able to capture it. Whether it's a panoramic landscape, workplace or portrait his photography strikes on an emotional level and that's what our business is about-helping people connect to our product, service or place. Jason is always my first choice and you will enjoy working with him. He is calm, easy going, flexible and focused on shoots-a plus with our North Dakota weather."
Jeanne Nelson, Creative Director
"In the years I’ve worked with Jason he has provided Outdoor Life with the highest level of original imagery. He’s both professional and easy going and can handle any crazy assignment we throw at him. I’ve come to depend on Jason to consistently deliver out-of-the-box creative thinking. His well crafted visuals have a style and energy that put the viewer in the moment. On top of all that Jason really understands the look and content of Outdoor Life and isn’t afraid to “rough it” on assignment!"
Justin Appenzeller, Photo Editor
"Today's environment relies heavily on an ability to fix and retouch photos with various software packages. Jason is able to get very high quality, high impact images right out of the camera that require very little post production work. To Creative Services, that represents a great savings in time and money which in turn allows us to concentrate on our creative efforts and not the mechanics of production."
Larry Ecker, Director of Creative Services
“Jason provides exceptional work. In addition to delivering on exactly what we ask, I can count on Jason to capture images that exceed my expectations as well as those of my clients, who always come back with high praise for his personable nature, work ethic and outstanding images. From head shots to environment, Jason has a knack for working with the subject to get the perfect shot. He comes highly recommended!”
Annette Zehner, Senior Account Manager
“Our communications office has hired Jason on multiple occasions to photograph a wide variety of subjects. His stunning images speak for themselves, but Jason and his staff are also a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
Todd Sweet, Assistant Director of Advanced Media
“Jason is always our first pick when choosing a photographer for our commercial work. We are passionate about design, so we always want the photography to live up to our vision! We never have concerns when Jason is involved. He has a terrific eye and technical skill. A true artist, and I am glad to say, friend. Jason is easy to work with, he understands creative direction, deadlines and budgets. I would recommend him without reservation.”
Debby Winter, Creative Director
“Jason has produced many great-looking shoots for Midwest Living over the last several years. He has a real eye for telling stories through photography and capturing the personalities of people he covers. We've entrusted him with several major shoots that spanned many days, and he's consistently come through.”
Trevor Meers, Executive Editor
“Jason has a gift. He's one of the best photographers and works so well with a variety of subjects such as our executives and underground coal miners. He's a pleasure to work with and is so talented in evoking emotion through his craft.”
Kim Link, Corporate Communications Manager
“Jason is an exceptional photographer with an eye for creative composition . He is willing do anything to get the best image possible even if it means laying down in the mud or getting into the water.”
Connie Casdia, Senior Art Director
“I have worked with Jason on numerous shoots and it is always a pleasure. He has a real eye for taking the ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary.”
Steve Duensing, Creative Director
"The right photo often makes the piece. Whenever we work with Jason, we get the perfect photo. I think the first thing we asked Jason to shoot was a set of forks. He blew us away. Who knew cutlery could be so beautiful? Jason's photography has played an integral role in so many of our projects since. Being able to work with such strong imagery has a way of inspiring our designers. And that makes us better."
Matt Hutton, Creative Director
