What I Do
Hi. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Jason Rubin, and I’m a photographer. Do I take videos? No. I’m a photographer. Do I do graphic design? Also no. I’m a photographer.
Let me explain. I press a button, and capture a photo, right? Wrong. Well, maybe every once in a while that happens, meaning I really don’t need to do anything to the pho
Hi. Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Jason Rubin, and I’m a photographer. Do I take videos? No. I’m a photographer. Do I do graphic design? Also no. I’m a photographer.
Let me explain. I press a button, and capture a photo, right? Wrong. Well, maybe every once in a while that happens, meaning I really don’t need to do anything to the photo, such as touching up bits and pieces here and there.
My job as a photographer is to capture what I see. I keep things as real as possible. I don’t embellish, use fun, flashy filters, or even use enough graphics to make the photo look almost AI generated. As I said, I keep it real. Do I use lighting on my subjects? Yes…but definitely not during concerts, sporting events, or theatrical productions.
Each photographer has a different perspective, and if you like what you see from one photographer…hire them for sure! Is my work everyone’s cup of tea? Absolutely not.
Am I in competition with other photographers? I would like to think not, but in others’ eyes, it’s not always the case. However…my rates are fair for my years of experience, as well as the time and effort I put into my work. I won’t oversell or undersell myself, and would never sour the name of any other photographer out there doing their thing, trying their best to earn a living doing what they love.
I believe positive relationships with clients are key, and I strive to create the best possible photos for their needs, be it sports, concerts, other live events such as theatre, and even headshots. I’m not a “do it all” or “shoot anything and everything” photographer. I shoot what I’m passionate about shooting. Will I stray from those paths if prospective clients feel I could do the job for them? Of course, and I have!
My downfall is not having my own studio space, so my work is predominantly created on location. Does that stop me from doing what I’m doing? Absolutely not!
So, if you’re looking for an affordable, friendly, reliable, dependable, and respectful photographer, here I am, and here are samples of my work.
My Work
The majority of my work consists of sports photography and live music, theatrical productions, and other live events. Yes, I even do headshots!
Since 2021, I've been the official team photographer for the Iowa Heartlanders, an ECHL hockey team in Coralville, IA, capturing not only the action on the ice, but team photos and headshots as well.
