Jai
Getting that perfect shot is my job.
I’ve had to trespass, tip toe through red ant colonies, block traffic, shimmy under barbed wire,
scare off a rattlesnake, glue pearls to a model, blow dry roses and hang by my ankles off a boat.
My name is Jai Mayhew and I’m a photographer.
I'm a portrait & fashion photographer, a retoucher and an educator—welcome to my luxury portrait studio. I specialize in creating sensual, editorial portraits with a dedicated team, so the entire experience—from booking to final artwork—feels seamless, elevated, and stress-free. The work is refined, Vanity Fair–inspired, and always collaborative.
That’s where we begin: with what you want. I can’t wait to work with you!
“I've always loved the idea of not being what people expect me to be.”
