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

Hi Jay, do you disagree with some advice that is more or less universally accepted?
“GO TO COLLEGE IN ORDER TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL” I’ve honestly always felt as if college doesn’t determine if your gonna be successful or not . I feel like it’s all about who you are as a person and I what you want out of life .

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 feel like my work is A representation of me and my personality . It gives people a chance to see things from my point of view , also it sets me apart from other photographers because it’s my own style . It took time to build where I’m at today and I know it’s still room to grow . So I’m always trying to find that new creative push to keep me going .

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Fasho Shoutout to everybody who has played a role into motivating me to keep doing what I do and I appreciate everybody .
