About Ten Ten Creative

Hey there! My name is Jay Simon and I'm the lead creator here at Ten Ten Creative. Nice to meet ya!

My journey began in 2011 with my love for live music and photographing concerts. Lots and lots of concerts! Dynamic environments with constantly changing lighting conditions challenged me to quickly grow as a photographer. Before long, I was working as the house photographer at local venues, which led to working with larger international entertainment organizations like Live Nation, AEG, and iHeart Media.

I take the same approach to event photography as my concert photography, creating the most dynamic images possible. You won’t get thousands of mediocre, generic images. Instead, you’ll get a highly curated set of exceptional “OMG” images. I see the moments unfold and capture the candid reactions and emotions that tell the true story of your event. Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like!

As my corporate event photography work expanded into the realm of portraits and headshots, I was able to transfer my innate ability to read people and engage with them while skillfully controlling the image creation process through the use of exceptional lighting techniques and thoughtful composition. My primary goal for every one of my portraits is to ensure that my subject not only looks amazing but also presents themselves as a real person - capturing them at their very best!

Trust me and my team to capture your next project. We can't wait to work with you!

Testimonials

★★★★★ We hired Ten Ten Creative for a headshot assignment at our conference, and they exceeded our expectations! In the past, we spent a lot of time after the event emailing photos to attendees. This time, their seamless system—with a QR code form for each participant—eliminated all post-event work for us. And the best part? The photos were top-notch!
