About Me:

Welcome to Jurick.net. It's both my photography portfolio and creativity blog (10 years running) where I post fresh photographs from fantastic clients and cool assignments. It's the place I get to share my favorite images that hopefully inspire you to email or call and say, "Wow, I love your work," or "Are you available to photograph..."  Who doesn't like to hear that? I'm a family guy - and that's why I connect so well with the families I photograph. My own kids are my inspiration and New Orleans is the city that got my visual mojo workin'. I love it more than any city in the world. Jazzfest? Been there 25 years running. Live music is a fountain of creative inspiration for me. My wife, Gal, is my lifelong runnin' pardner and she runs the show behind the scenes so I can stay focused on what's important - making you look great!

If you are planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, you'll benefit from my team's creative lighting style to enhance the drama and storytelling importance of the Mitzvah right of passage. Planning a wedding? See your wedding photographs come to life on our breath-taking music video slideshows for your iPad and HDTV. My background in multimedia design and as producer of the Academy Awards online (Oscar.com) ensure your event is beautifully told in the most cinematic way possible. Thinking of creating a meaningful family portrait or a collection of timeless images of your children?  I'll introduce you to the possibilities of where your precious images could live for the family in today's digital age. Are you a music fan? Love live music? Looking to check out some of the hottest rock shots? How about investing in a fine-art print?  Since I'm one of Rock Paper Photos' fine art photographers, your print will be of the highest quality. No detail is insignificant, and we only use materials provided by the world’s most trusted manufacturers of print media. I'm a quality freak - it has to be the highest, or it does not go out my door, and that applies to everything we do. We guarantee you will love your photographs! Call  917-544-1871 or email now.
