About Thurman Jones and my Photography:

I have had a love of photography since childhood; I received my first “real” camera in 1985. I took pictures of every flower and animal I could find and when I had the money I would get them developed. I am a big fan of dogs and animals in general; my wife Tracy and I have three dogs two of which are rescues and we participate in several rescue events per year. I still take pictures of animals especially dogs every chance I get.

Tracy and I are originally from the Indianapolis area and moved to Southern Indiana in 2008. We really enjoy all of the parks, hiking and wineries that Southern Indiana has to offer.

My favorite teams are the Colts, Steelers and the Hoosiers. I love all types of music but my favorite is the Counting Crows, Tracy and I have been known to travel near and far to see them.

I have a somewhat eclectic photography style. I think the best pictures are when a person is relaxed and acting natural and the eyes always tell a story. On the other hand I also like a “grungy” look that depicts some attitude and is a little dark and mysterious. I am also a huge fan of the classic black and white photos, there is just something about them that moves me.
I really enjoy seeing the excitement of my clients when they get their pictures; especially those who say I didn’t know I could look like that.

Thurman Jones Photography offers professional photography for Southern Indiana (Madison, Charlestown, Clarksville, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Sellersburg, Floyds Knobs, Corydon, Scottsburg, Pekin, Borden and Salem) and the Louisville area.

2014 Senior Spokes Model Program

Thurman Jones PDSC_8539hotoDSC_4621graphy (TJP) is looking for juniors (graduating in 2014) that are interested in working as a model for our studio.  I am looking for students that are interested in having their portraits taken before the end of their junior year in exchange for print credits. TJP is based in Charlestown, IN and we are looking for juniors from Charlestown, Silver Creek, New Washington, Henryville, Jeff, New Albany, Floyd Central, Eastern, Salem and West Washington to name a few.

Thurman Jones Photography will select at least two students from each school to participate in the program.  Parental consent is required to participate and an application must be filled out prior to acceptance.  If you are chosen as a model, you will be photographed in early spring.  The session will include the services of a hair and makeup professional.  Approximately two weeks later, you will be able to preview your images and receive your spokes model cards.

Models will receive business-type cards with their images and the studio’s information; the images will be selected by TJP.  The cards will also offer a special discount when presented to Thurman Jones Photography.  Models will receive credit for each student that books/completes a session.  Students booking a session MUST present your card at the time of booking to receive their special discount and to count toward your tally.

Many students have their senior pictures taken over the summer, so it is very important that you show your portraits to as many people as possible before school lets out.  The more you show your portraits and promote Thurman Jones Photography, the more additional products you can earn.

Applications will be accepted until midnight March 6th, 2013.  All applicants will be informed on or before March 10th, 2013, as to the status of their acceptance into the spokes model program.
