1. What camera do you use? What do you recommend?

I have a Nikon D40 which a very good friend got me, a Canon Powershot G6, a Canon Powershot SD1000, and a Minolta 16 PS. I also have a Kodak Zi6 and a camcorder that is much too complicated to operate.

I highly recommend the Canon Powershot G-series camera for a serious beginners. It is a point-and-shoot, sure, but it is a high-end point-and-shoot that will grow with you. Most of my work from the The Harsh Desert exhibit were taken by my trusty Canon Powershot G6.

2. What image-editing program do you use?

I use Paint Shop Pro 8. It is an oldy, but a goody.

3. Who is your favorite photographer?

I actually did not have a favorite photographer when I first started. Though, if I were to choose, I would say famed fashion photographer Richard Avedon. His work tell stories.

4. Where can I buy your prints/photos/work?

You can purchased limited-edition prints of my photography from IncredibleArtist.Com gallery.

→ Buy prints of Jayel Aheram’s photography.

5. Where did you go to school for photography?

I did not. I am self-taught.

6. How did you get started?

My first passion was web design. In order to edit images to grace my website, I had to learn graphics design. I learned the principles of composition and layout by doing it. Years later, I needed original images to complement my writing, so I took up photography.
