Hello!
My name is Jason Shamesman. My love for photography began at the age of 16, when I began taking photos of the ocean, flowers, and birds on my iPod Touch, pulling the saturation and contrast sliders all the way to the right to create pictures that were completely crazy-looking, yet unique! Today, I carry that same creative energy with me as a freelance photographer, video producer, and drone pilot.
My professional journey began when I accepted a full time role as a video producer for a market research firm, where I traveled across the world to film interviews and focus groups for over 5 years. Around 2020, I had my first experience with freelance work and in 2022 I made the transition to freelancing full time. I am so grateful for the experience I gained in my first role, as it has led me to this way of working, which I have found to be such an incredible fit for me both personally and professionally. The freedom to connect and work with clients one-on-one, building relationships and growing together, and being able to choose how and where to allocate my creative efforts, has been invaluable!
Currently, my day-to-day work consists of real estate photography, video work, and aerial photography. As a creative who is constantly on the lookout for new opportunities to grow, I have also been exploring headshots, food photography, branding videos, and other exciting areas!

FAQs

What types of photography do you specialize in?
Several! I am an experienced photographer, video producer, and FAA-licensed drone pilot and have worked in several fields, from market research to real estate photography. They say variety is the spice of life, and I bring that mindset into my work. By embracing multiple specialties, I have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, keeping my work dynamic and challenging. This approach not only fuels my passion but also ensures that I am constantly learning, growing, and refining my craft.
How do you price your services?
Transparency is a core value of my business approach! All my pricing is available on my Services page, which includes a range of fixed-rate offerings such as real estate photography and individual headshots, as well as custom projects, where I work with my client to develop a plan that best fits their needs.
My pricing is carefully considered, and reflects over a decade of experience behind the camera, my collection of state-of-the-art equipment, and my FAA drone certification. I also regularly benchmark regional rates to ensure my services remain competitive.
As a full-time freelance photographer, I aim to balance sustainability with fair and accessible pricing!
Do your services ever require additional fees?
No one likes paying extra fees! I work hard to keep my pricing reasonable while also being able to accommodate requests that may go slightly beyond the scope of work we agreed to.
However, some fees may apply. For instance, I add a travel fee to real estate bookings located over 30 miles from Newmarket, NH, to cover travel time, fuel, and tolls. Large listings that need more than the 30 to 45 photos I provide in my standard packages take longer to shoot and edit. Advanced photo or video editing beyond the original scope of work may incur additional fees as well.
Before starting our project, I will always give my clients a clear estimate of the project’s total cost and an explanation for any fees that may apply.
What sets your services apart from other photographers, videographers, and drone pilots?
Ask any of my clients, or take a look at my 5-star reviews on Google, and you’ll see how easy I am to work with! I pride myself on bringing a balance of personal connection and professional service. Expect creativity and energy at every stage of our project!
What equipment do you use?
A good photographer knows what gear to use to get the job done! At my disposal is the latest and greatest equipment. From continuous lighting, wireless microphones, and 8k cameras for polished interviews, to the latest in FPV drone technology for capturing truly unique perspectives, I am equipped to handle all kinds of photo and video projects, big or small!
