Letter from the Chairmen
With our fourth edition of proofsheet M agazine, we mark ourftrst year as Co-Chairs of the
New York Chaptet. Our membership continues to be strong. up 25% from a year ago. and
we want to continue our inroads to bui5ding a solid, supponive photography community.
W e want to remind m embers of the b ehind-the-scenes b enefits of APA Membership,
especially the work that APA National is d o ing in vital areas lit e Copyright and photog-
rapher's rights. APA h as been d eeply engaged in efforts to influence legislation in our
nation's capitol - ensuring you have remecfies to the prolifecation of rights infringements.
You d o not see this d ay to day work but it is critical to p ro<ecting our creative vision and
one of the teasons we believe all photographers should join a professjonal organization.
M embers should take fuU advantage of tangib le member's benefits like: business in-
surance, Zipcar discounts. Apple Store discounts. as well as our numerous studio and
equipment rental discounts- see our Member Benefttsp age formore. A coupte of these
discounts can more than offset the cost of membership .
We continue to reach out to other members o f the creative community. In addition to
our growing Assistant Ust. we are assemb ling a nst of studio resources. hair & makeup.
stylists. and d igital techs - everything you need to realize your photograp hic vision.
Our Fall calendar of events will b e anchored by PhotoVille, PhotoPius Expo, two amazing
success seminars and several imponant n etworking events where you get to mingle and
network with future clients.
Membership in a trade association like APA is vital to maintaining our community, it gives
us the strength of numbers and a stronger voice to advocate for you, our members. And
as always. we seek motivated individuals to pitch in, as volunteers. speake-rs. and on m e-
New York Chapter Board of Directors.
We urge you to stay involved in the organization and community as a whole and look for-
ward to seeing you in the coming months.

so goodat both.

What's in a Name?
If you Google ·photographer· and ·Jason Evans... -
you11 see that there i:1 1nothtt photographer with the
same name. O·g a lrttlt dttptr. and you'll discover that
there are acw.., stvtf'll photogrlphtrs named Jasoo
Evans. Seriously? Yeah. Sowhit 1 guy to do? Specialize.
stand out from the crowd. and sutld his ground. Ot you
know, water.
How it All Began
As the story goes, twtfve..:year-ok:l Jason was given a
rudimentary camera by hll gtlndhther. w1th which h e
caught a fairly spectacular lhot: a boft of lightning flash-
ing across the de"'rt sky
But the spark that lit Evans's photographic flash wasn't
really that lighbng shot. Rather. it came years later, when
he took a break from his tnglnttrlng srudies at the Uni-
versity of Vermont (UVM) to ttlvtlibroad with a couple
-
of friends. As h~ pun lt. ·n.at•s when! my kwe of travel
and capturing new .nd une~ild ~1ngs in a came~a.
whi e uying to make tt..m matd lh• mematy of what I
saw and experienud a l began· EswntiaDy. a synthesis
of documentation illnd' an..
Having taken two six-wHt-~ trtps in Europe and an-
other one in Southeut Asia. when Evans came back to
!he states. he teali:ted that he rutty didn't want to be
an engineer after all, and he dropped out of UVM. To
make money, he Stiltttd barund ng. but he knew that
mixing cocktails wouldn't be something he would do fOf·
ever. Over the course of his first week tending b ar. he
found himself aching for the thrill of tre~vel and ph otogra·
phy, and every d ay, would uy just that to his girlfriend at
the time. She flnaJiy shot back: ·would you stop talking
about taking p ictures and just~ do it!.
Easier said than done - for most folks. that is. luckily tor
Evans, the father of one of his but ct"ldhood friends was
a very successful pro!esston.r piOtogr.pher W'l the auto
industry. C£int CIMe-ns quiw g.Mrot.ISI'y. offered to take
Jason under his Whg. ~ tnon: on:Mt Clemens recognized
Evans talents and slcils. ·utwally • w...taf"..er 1gotoff the
prane he said. 'Oo you wwat1 job?' Tlw nght cWcumstane·
es al came rogetlet at WI right moment. I fell into it.·
Patience and Personality
From baseball players sltd•ng l'lome to surfers sliding
ashore. you can tell that the athletes feel totally at home
with Jason photographing (lnd tometimes videotaping)
their every move. That comfott.. decided ty earned. is due
to Jason's demeanor.
Evans dfdn't learn how to surf until he was around 30
years ok:l. ""Wh.en you'rt thlt old ~ncf learning how to
suri. there's sort of an etiquette and j udgment that goes
on in th.e water. I rke btlng out of my comfort zone as
much as pos.sibte. but when you·,.. in the wrong place,
you get yelled at. I paid my duu.·
Then Evans copped adue: use lhe amera as a wctor of
conne ctivity. and ubn1tely, COI'I'.mUnity. laking pictures
became a way to get to know trM otf'te.r surfers. I was
no fonget an obsGde I was someone who could take
a photo of them. You want to bt alOne in U'le water. but
you do want a photO of youtMH. I spent a lot more time
taking pictu.re:s. which opened up a community to m e.
I w ent on to have a show at dt N~rt Art Museum.
Then I went back to surllng. and b•ce~me considerably
better. b ecause this time ~oplt wtre helping... telling
me which waves to ttad:,., letting mt cut in line. So yes;
surllng ismy favorite sport. t surf as much as I can.

The Man Behind the Lens
•'I've b een told I can be quiet, b utI'm usually ju* thinking and analyzing things:
my surroundings... you. At h om e in Rhode Island. some of my favorite things
are family, friends, bonfires, a good cigar, my latest b eer of choice, and my two
cats.... yes, my cats...
Evans'S social-media moniker is afrotographter, "... a nk-kname that Igot when
I was o ut in the wate-r shooting surfing. tf you loot several pictures bade in my
tnstagram feed, you11see how b ig my h air can b e. I enjoyed h aving long hair
and picking out my afro. but it is way too hot in the summer.~
Not unlike other photographers, appearing in front of the camera is, ~...not my
favorite place to b e. I definitely ptefer to b e behind the camera."
And he envisions b eing there for a kmg time, as in, forever. "We always joke that
I'm not qualified to do anything else at this point.M
*I d on't se-e myself without a cameta.M
A few epic tf'3ve! ad1.-enrures and 6 years of
personal and advertising projects, have led
Jason to his curre.nt photographic passions.

APA h as been d eeply engaged in efforts to influence legislation in our nation's capitol - ensuring you have remecfies to the prolifecation of rights infringements.

M embers should take fuU advantage of tangib le member's benefits like: business in- surance, Zipcar discounts. Apple Store discounts. as well as our numerous studio and equipment rental discounts- see our Member Benefttsp age formore. A coupte of these discounts can more than offset the cost of membership .
