Meet JAILYN LOVER | Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with JAILYN LOVER and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi JAILYN, how does your business help the community?
Unfiltered Photography has many passion areas, one specifically is the homeless population in which I call Hidden Figures. Each photoshoot that I have a percentage goes towards the efforts that I do in my community. I typically do a Summer and Winter event. In December I will be hosting my Annual Holiday for the Homeless Event. This is an event where I provide a hot homecooked meal, Unfiltered Sweatshirts, hats, gloves, scarfs, and all other winter essentials at a local shelter. During the Summer I held Hidden Figures Freedom Fest. This was an event where our Hidden Figures were offered a vendor like experience where they could shop around for any items that they needed for FREE. I had clothes, shoes, Mary K, food vendors, and tons of other community partners. Hidden Figures were also able to get free haircuts, play games, and dance to a live DJ, all while enjoy a hot meal. I am one who truly has a passion for the people.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am Jai’Lyn Lover, the owner of Unfiltered Photography LLC. I am originally from Montgomery Alabama but I now reside in Winston Salem North Carolina. I have been doing photography going on 6 years now. My father use to work as a camera man a local news station back home, being a daddy’s girl growing up being able to go to work with my dad and watching what he was doing, and him allowing me to press buttons during the live shows is what sparked my interest in photography. My dad for as far as I can remember has always the family camera man even during the Kodak days. My parents brought me my very first camera Christmas of 2018 and I have been going and growing ever since. The name of my business if Unfiltered Photography LLC. Its not just a name its a Lifestyle. Every shoot people are always asking ” Can you make me look skinny, can you fix this, can you fix that”. I want my clients to truly love who they are inside and out. So I deliver crisp clear images with very minimal retouches to the physical appearance of the client I think that is what sets me apart from others. My proudest moments are just receiving the feedback of how much clients love their photos and seeing them being used for various projects I want someone to say because of you I didn’t give up. I want to continue to inspire the individuals around me and photography allows me to do just that.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Our first stop would be Vintage Sofa Bar in Downtown, its an amazing atmosphere, great food, and great drinks. Next stop would be ROAR. Roar is a 4 level building that has all that you need in one place.They have a food court, 5 start restaurant, virtual games, bowling, beer wall, and roof top views all in one location. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My Village! My family and friends have been my biggest and strongest support system.
