Member— The International Cinematographers Guild - I.A.T.S.E. Local 600  

2014 Emmy Award Winner - Director of Photography — ABC: Disney's Magical Christmas Celebration


Over the past 22 years, Jay has honed his craft in the conception and execution of lighting across a hugely diverse range of styles, from beauty lighting or a dramatic narrative look, to stylized lighting of stage sets and venues for music, game shows, and comedy specials. This is orchestrated in tandem with his mastery in the technical and aesthetic use of the camera, in both single-camera and multi-cam cinema style, to tell a story and convey a mood, or cover the action. Jay was  also instrumental in the creation of the look and style of the Emmy Nominated childrens TV show, Yo Gabba Gabba, as the series director of photography 


Jay has two rescue dogs named Charles and Blanche
