Interview with a Pro \u2013Jared Gruenwald\u2013 Part 1<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/header>\n
\n
\n
\nJust as we\u2019ve found that there are many routes into a career in photography, and it\u2019s not necessary to formally study photography; there are many people who do decide to take a photography degree, and there are many careers open to those who wish to make photography their career. Philadelphia based photographer Jared Gruenwald is one of those who chose to specialize in photography.
\nHe told us how he landed some aspirational jobs shooting professional tennis, and what it\u2019s like to be a working photographer in the fifth largest city in the US.
\nWith the City of Brotherly Love as a beautiful, and vibrant backdrop, Jared finds the time to explore it and shoot some wonderful street photography too.
\nJared has been a long term user of PortraitPro, and we love his work, so we were very happy that he agreed to tell us his story so far.

PortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0Did you study photography at university?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0I did. I have a degree in journalism with a specific concentration in photography for the mass media from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0How did you get started in the world of editorial and documentary photography?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0My high school had a wonderful photography department complete with an arsenal of Pentax K1000\u2019s, an unlimited film and paper supply, and access to a darkroom whenever I had free time. This freedom allowed me to fully invest all my creative efforts into my photographic endeavors. I started shooting anyone and everyone as well as everything around me and began to develop a style that lent well to documentary work. I enrolled at Temple University with the initial intention of studying biology, zoology, or some other ology but realized pretty early on it wasn\u2019t for me. This may have had something to do with discovering Temple\u2019s darkroom and photojournalism major. Without a whole lot of hesitation I switched over and haven\u2019t looked back.
\nOf course as I was completing my major degree requirements the newspaper world was disintegrating and everyone around me was telling me to bail, as I wouldn\u2019t have a future in the industry. But as luck would have it I landed a full time staff position shooting for a paper in Philly a few months after graduating. That just goes to show, follow your heart, passions, dreams and goals and blow off those who try to squash all that.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0What is the most interesting thing you can tell us about your work?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0No one else can do exactly what I do. Just as I can\u2019t do exactly what anyone else does. That\u2019s what I love and find most interesting about any creative field; Varied interpretations.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0What inspires you to do what you do?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0Oh, the standard clich\u00e9 that my surroundings inspire me. But that\u2019s as honest an answer as I can give. I live in the same world as everyone else but I also live in my own little world and I feel my inspiration comes from the melding of the two and the photos I create represent that. I don\u2019t really know what others see when they look upon the same scene as me just as they don\u2019t know what I see. I want to show them what I see then we can discuss, compare and contrast. That conversation is what inspires me.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0You seem to have a variety of photography related jobs. Are these concurrent? Could you tell us about the demands of working for multiple outlets concurrently? Does it get hard to balance deadlines for a variety of employers?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0I\u2019ve never really been one to limit what I do creatively. I like to keep challenging myself. If I only shoot tennis I\u2019ll be the best at shooting tennis but when it comes to portraiture or street work I may be inadequate. Obviously one could argue \u201cwell why not master one field instead of simply being competent in many?\u201d Well I\u2019ve met dozens of veteran photographers who did just that and after decades working in only one field often express regret.
\nIt can be demanding working numerous concurrent jobs, but you simply keep to a schedule and mark everything down on a calendar and it all works out. It can be quite stressful though when you have a day that begins at 7 and ends at 7 and you have four or five different jobs within that span.
\nWorking for a newspaper early on in my career really prepared me for this though as there would be days when I\u2019d have 5 assignments and there was no excuse for missing any of them. I\u2019m lucky enough to have a fairly flexible schedule so it\u2019s not terribly difficult to make it all work. I also take on a variety of non-photo related jobs like teaching terrarium classes because sometimes it helps to take a step back and try something completely different.
\n\"Serena<\/p>\n

PortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0How did you get in to the pro tennis circuit?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0I was living in Brooklyn at the time. It was late August 2009 and the city was sweltering. I was dead broke, couldn\u2019t find much work as the recession was in full swing and as everyone knows you can\u2019t throw a rock in any direction without hitting a pro photographer in NYC. The whole small fish BIG pond thing was a serious reality.
\nI was at the end of a long day scouring the Internet for jobs. Photo jobs, cleaning jobs, cooking jobs, any job\u2026 and I see an ad on craigslist asking for a photographer with sports experience that owns pro equipment and speaks French. Well I met two of the three requirements (which do you feel I fell short on?) and decided to respond. I wrote a pretty lengthy cover letter, included my resume and a link to my website.
\n\"Jo-Wilfried<\/p>\n

Not too long after I received a phone call from a stranger inquiring about a craigslist ad I responded to. The voice on the other end asked me a variety of questions about my background shooting sports and after a while I interrupted and asked \u201cWait, is this a job to photograph the US Open?\u201d (the tennis one not golf. I actually worked as a gopher for the Star Ledger [a New Jersey] newspaper, sports photo team during the Golf US Open a few years prior).
\nThe voice on the other end confirmed my assumptions and after chatting a bit more I was hired. After our three weeks together shooting the 2009 US Open Tennis Tournament came to an end, the man who hired me nonchalantly asked: \u201cSo do you have a passport?\u201d and thus I ended up as a mainstay on the pro tennis tour for the next three years. And what an amazing three years it was.

Interview with a Pro \u2013Jared Gruenwald\u2013 Part 2<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\nHere\u2019s the second half of our interview with Philadelphia based photographer Jared Gruenwald.
\nLiving and working in the often photographed, historical city of Philadelphia provides Jared with some great opportunities for work, and he agreed to share some more of his story with us this week.
\n\"kellyPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0Philadelphia is a beautiful and vibrant city in which to live; does the city inspire your street art work?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0Philadelphia is such an incredibly underrated, forgotten yet vibrant city, full of so much life that it can inspire anyone. I love living here. I truly feel it\u2019s a city where you can make your dreams a reality. It sounds corny and clich\u00e9d but I\u2019m doing it right now and so are handfuls of other creative, ambitious people I meet everyday.
\nOne aspect that I feel really lends itself to street photography is the landscape and geography. Philadelphia\u2019s smaller physical stature creates neighborhoods and communities that are insular yet remain close to the cutting edge. Witnessing this disparity is kind of mind blowing and beautiful and makes it hard to put the camera down.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0Is Philadelphia a good location to be based in which to get new work?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0Well this is complicated. While New York is a city full of small fish in a big pond, Philadelphia is full of big fish in a small pond. There are so many talented photographers here but not as many jobs. You have to be willing to travel. Mobility I think is key here. The other side of it though is cost of living expenses are much cheaper here than New York, which is only 90 miles away so you can work in NYC and commute which can prove to be quite fruitful.
\n\"lynchburgPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0Do you consider yourself to be successful? If so what do you think is the reason for your success?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0Sure. I\u2019m not rolling in money nor am I a household name but I\u2019m still carving out my niche and continue to develop and improve as a photographer. To me this defines success. As long as I\u2019m not stagnant and continue to grow creatively then I feel successful.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0How do you market yourself? What strategies work best for you in obtaining paid work?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0The Internet is an unforgiving void. Obviously I maintain a current website and blog and I use digital marketing tools but I honestly feel I get most of my paid work through first person encounters. It\u2019s much easier to write a potential client or employee off when you don\u2019t actually have the opportunity to meet them in person. A valuable tool I find is setting up personal meetings. Nothing beats being able to shake someone\u2019s hand, look into someone\u2019s eyes, hear someone\u2019s voice, feel their passion. You don\u2019t get that digitally.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0How much of your time is spent in photo editing?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0It depends upon my subject matter. I probably spend most of my time editing portraits. When I\u2019m producing a portrait I\u2019m trying to control every aspect of the shot and take more a creative license with the editing process. I\u2019ll often edit more than one version of each photo, which can be very time consuming. When I\u2019m working on a documentary project my editing becomes much less technical.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0How useful do you find PortraitPro in your work?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0With my background in documentary\/sports\/street work I never put too much stock in all the crazy Photoshop skills some photographers incorporate into their work. It\u2019s incredible but not really my style. I generally stick with the standard ethical journalistic editing methods when it comes to Photoshop which dictate not using any tools you wouldn\u2019t find standing in front of an enlarger in a darkroom. That being said, some commercial portrait photography jobs I get require a bit more. PortraitProfessional has proven to be an invaluable tool in helping me realize the perfect final image. It\u2019s such a great tool and is an incredibly helpful addition to any portrait photographer\u2019s workflow.
\n\"\"PortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0How do you balance doing work that pays with doing work that inspires and excites you?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0Well as long as it\u2019s photography and I\u2019m not serving up fast food, I\u2019m inspired and excited. Just because the work may not be as large scale as Wimbledon or as interesting as people living off the grid in a small tent city down by a river that doesn\u2019t mean the clients expectations are any lesser. I treat every job, whether it\u2019s self-assigned or I was hired the same. I\u2019m just happy and thankful that I get to do what I love.
\nPortraitPro:<\/span>\u00a0Where can we see more of your work?
\nJared Gruenwald:<\/span>\u00a0You can see more of my work on my\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0and on my\u00a0blog<\/a>\u00a0I was recently also in a gallery show in Philadelphia. The Gallery is called Destination Frankford.

Check out my interview with Portrait Professional. \u00a0And\u00a0check out the Japanese version of the email they sent out. Part\u00a01 Part 2 Interview with a Pro \u2013Jared Gruenwald\u2013 Part 1 Just as we\u2019ve found that there are many routes into a career in photography, and it\u2019s not necessary to formally study photography; there are many people who do decide to take a photography degree, and there are many careers open to those who wish to make photography their career. Philadelphia based photographer Jared Gruenwald is one of those who chose to specialize in photography. He told us how he landed some aspirational jobs shooting professional tennis, and what it\u2019s like to be a working photographer in the fifth largest city in the US. With the City of Brotherly Love as a beautiful, and vibrant backdrop, Jared finds the time to explore it and shoot some wonderful street photography too. Jared has been a long term user of PortraitPro, and we love his work, so we were very happy that he agreed to tell us his story so far. Christina Gesualdi PortraitPro:\u00a0Did you study photography at university? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0I did. I have a degree in journalism with a specific concentration in photography for the mass media from Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. PortraitPro:\u00a0How did you get started in the world of editorial and documentary photography? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0My high school had a wonderful photography department complete with an arsenal of Pentax K1000\u2019s, an unlimited film and paper supply, and access to a darkroom whenever I had free time. This freedom allowed me to fully invest all my creative efforts into my photographic endeavors. I started shooting anyone and everyone as well as everything around me and began to develop a style that lent well to documentary work. I enrolled at Temple University with the initial intention of studying biology, zoology, or some other ology but realized pretty early on it wasn\u2019t for me. This may have had something to do with discovering Temple\u2019s darkroom and photojournalism major. Without a whole lot of hesitation I switched over and haven\u2019t looked back. Of course as I was completing my major degree requirements the newspaper world was disintegrating and everyone around me was telling me to bail, as I wouldn\u2019t have a future in the industry. But as luck would have it I landed a full time staff position shooting for a paper in Philly a few months after graduating. That just goes to show, follow your heart, passions, dreams and goals and blow off those who try to squash all that. PortraitPro:\u00a0What is the most interesting thing you can tell us about your work? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0No one else can do exactly what I do. Just as I can\u2019t do exactly what anyone else does. That\u2019s what I love and find most interesting about any creative field; Varied interpretations. PortraitPro:\u00a0What inspires you to do what you do? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0Oh, the standard clich\u00e9 that my surroundings inspire me. But that\u2019s as honest an answer as I can give. I live in the same world as everyone else but I also live in my own little world and I feel my inspiration comes from the melding of the two and the photos I create represent that. I don\u2019t really know what others see when they look upon the same scene as me just as they don\u2019t know what I see. I want to show them what I see then we can discuss, compare and contrast. That conversation is what inspires me. PortraitPro:\u00a0You seem to have a variety of photography related jobs. Are these concurrent? Could you tell us about the demands of working for multiple outlets concurrently? Does it get hard to balance deadlines for a variety of employers? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0I\u2019ve never really been one to limit what I do creatively. I like to keep challenging myself. If I only shoot tennis I\u2019ll be the best at shooting tennis but when it comes to portraiture or street work I may be inadequate. Obviously one could argue \u201cwell why not master one field instead of simply being competent in many?\u201d Well I\u2019ve met dozens of veteran photographers who did just that and after decades working in only one field often express regret. It can be demanding working numerous concurrent jobs, but you simply keep to a schedule and mark everything down on a calendar and it all works out. It can be quite stressful though when you have a day that begins at 7 and ends at 7 and you have four or five different jobs within that span. Working for a newspaper early on in my career really prepared me for this though as there would be days when I\u2019d have 5 assignments and there was no excuse for missing any of them. I\u2019m lucky enough to have a fairly flexible schedule so it\u2019s not terribly difficult to make it all work. I also take on a variety of non-photo related jobs like teaching terrarium classes because sometimes it helps to take a step back and try something completely different. Serena Williams \u2013 US Open 2011 Women\u2019s singles Final PortraitPro:\u00a0How did you get in to the pro tennis circuit? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0I was living in Brooklyn at the time. It was late August 2009 and the city was sweltering. I was dead broke, couldn\u2019t find much work as the recession was in full swing and as everyone knows you can\u2019t throw a rock in any direction without hitting a pro photographer in NYC. The whole small fish BIG pond thing was a serious reality. I was at the end of a long day scouring the Internet for jobs. Photo jobs, cleaning jobs, cooking jobs, any job\u2026 and I see an ad on craigslist asking for a photographer with sports experience that owns pro equipment and speaks French. Well I met two of the three requirements (which do you feel I fell short on?) and decided to respond. I wrote a pretty lengthy cover letter, included my resume and a link to my website. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in action at the 2012 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament Not too long after I received a phone call from a stranger inquiring about a craigslist ad I responded to. The voice on the other end asked me a variety of questions about my background shooting sports and after a while I interrupted and asked \u201cWait, is this a job to photograph the US Open?\u201d (the tennis one not golf. I actually worked as a gopher for the Star Ledger [a New Jersey] newspaper, sports photo team during the Golf US Open a few years prior). The voice on the other end confirmed my assumptions and after chatting a bit more I was hired. After our three weeks together shooting the 2009 US Open Tennis Tournament came to an end, the man who hired me nonchalantly asked: \u201cSo do you have a passport?\u201d and thus I ended up as a mainstay on the pro tennis tour for the next three years. And what an amazing three years it was. Maria Sharapova – French Open (Roland Garros) – Women’s singles final 2012 Read more\u00a0here\u00a0soon, but meanwhile check out\u00a0Jared\u2019s Website\u00a0and\u00a0Facebook page, and why not try out\u00a0PortraitPro\u00a0yourself.   Interview with a Pro \u2013Jared Gruenwald\u2013 Part 2 Here\u2019s the second half of our interview with Philadelphia based photographer Jared Gruenwald. Living and working in the often photographed, historical city of Philadelphia provides Jared with some great opportunities for work, and he agreed to share some more of his story with us this week. PortraitPro:\u00a0Philadelphia is a beautiful and vibrant city in which to live; does the city inspire your street art work? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0Philadelphia is such an incredibly underrated, forgotten yet vibrant city, full of so much life that it can inspire anyone. I love living here. I truly feel it\u2019s a city where you can make your dreams a reality. It sounds corny and clich\u00e9d but I\u2019m doing it right now and so are handfuls of other creative, ambitious people I meet everyday. One aspect that I feel really lends itself to street photography is the landscape and geography. Philadelphia\u2019s smaller physical stature creates neighborhoods and communities that are insular yet remain close to the cutting edge. Witnessing this disparity is kind of mind blowing and beautiful and makes it hard to put the camera down. PortraitPro:\u00a0Is Philadelphia a good location to be based in which to get new work? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0Well this is complicated. While New York is a city full of small fish in a big pond, Philadelphia is full of big fish in a small pond. There are so many talented photographers here but not as many jobs. You have to be willing to travel. Mobility I think is key here. The other side of it though is cost of living expenses are much cheaper here than New York, which is only 90 miles away so you can work in NYC and commute which can prove to be quite fruitful. PortraitPro:\u00a0Do you consider yourself to be successful? If so what do you think is the reason for your success? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0Sure. I\u2019m not rolling in money nor am I a household name but I\u2019m still carving out my niche and continue to develop and improve as a photographer. To me this defines success. As long as I\u2019m not stagnant and continue to grow creatively then I feel successful. PortraitPro:\u00a0How do you market yourself? What strategies work best for you in obtaining paid work? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0The Internet is an unforgiving void. Obviously I maintain a current website and blog and I use digital marketing tools but I honestly feel I get most of my paid work through first person encounters. It\u2019s much easier to write a potential client or employee off when you don\u2019t actually have the opportunity to meet them in person. A valuable tool I find is setting up personal meetings. Nothing beats being able to shake someone\u2019s hand, look into someone\u2019s eyes, hear someone\u2019s voice, feel their passion. You don\u2019t get that digitally. PortraitPro:\u00a0How much of your time is spent in photo editing? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0It depends upon my subject matter. I probably spend most of my time editing portraits. When I\u2019m producing a portrait I\u2019m trying to control every aspect of the shot and take more a creative license with the editing process. I\u2019ll often edit more than one version of each photo, which can be very time consuming. When I\u2019m working on a documentary project my editing becomes much less technical. PortraitPro:\u00a0How useful do you find PortraitPro in your work? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0With my background in documentary\/sports\/street work I never put too much stock in all the crazy Photoshop skills some photographers incorporate into their work. It\u2019s incredible but not really my style. I generally stick with the standard ethical journalistic editing methods when it comes to Photoshop which dictate not using any tools you wouldn\u2019t find standing in front of an enlarger in a darkroom. That being said, some commercial portrait photography jobs I get require a bit more. PortraitProfessional has proven to be an invaluable tool in helping me realize the perfect final image. It\u2019s such a great tool and is an incredibly helpful addition to any portrait photographer\u2019s workflow. PortraitPro:\u00a0How do you balance doing work that pays with doing work that inspires and excites you? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0Well as long as it\u2019s photography and I\u2019m not serving up fast food, I\u2019m inspired and excited. Just because the work may not be as large scale as Wimbledon or as interesting as people living off the grid in a small tent city down by a river that doesn\u2019t mean the clients expectations are any lesser. I treat every job, whether it\u2019s self-assigned or I was hired the same. I\u2019m just happy and thankful that I get to do what I love. PortraitPro:\u00a0Where can we see more of your work? Jared Gruenwald:\u00a0You can see more of my work on my\u00a0website\u00a0and on my\u00a0blog\u00a0I was recently also in a gallery show in Philadelphia.
