Our Guest
Jason Malouin is a world-renowned, award-winning portrait specialist whose work can be seen on the pages of Entrepreneur, GQ, Forbes, Financial Review, dozens of book covers and billboards & bus stops in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
His understanding of light, lines, and gesture is only surpassed by his understanding of the entrepreneur's journey.
He has been photographing 'professionals on the rise' exclusively for over 6 years and loves working closely with real people doing great things.
Anyone who has been photographed by Jason understands that the images are secondary. His clients know the real value of his process is the chance to profoundly redefine themselves and communicate that on a deeply fundamental level to your audience. It's an opportunity to hold up a mirror and – if you're open – give yourself a chance to see yourself differently.
Merely making you look good is a given. The point is to fully portray you…in a way that honestly reflects your vision and value. Jason helps the world see 'the you' you're meant to become.
Jason is also the podcast host of Communicator. From the United States, he is a long-time resident of Brisbane, Australia.
