The term was coined as the mantra of my budding photography business, Jacob Halsema Photography. Behind those words lay unbelievable pride for not only my Connecticut roots, but also for how the journey with my camera began, in 2019. Ensuring that I never forget how I got to where I am now as a creative content story teller is very important to my vision, incorporating these foundations into all aspects of my life as a photographer and human being. Carrying these words in my back pocket everywhere I go helps me stay humble in all of my endeavors.

Fast, Clean, Polished, & Organized is the other half of how I carry myself when covering an athletic event. Incorporating an athlete-type mindset into photography keeps me organized and up-to-speed with the action.

 

• Fast: Quick speed with my eyes and hands, ensuring that I am keeping up the athletes.

• Clean: Quality shots being taken, knowing what to shoot vs. what not to shoot.

• Polished: Capturing all important facets of the event while also editing properly.

• Organized: Putting all of the above together while also making sure that photo deliverables are ready when they need to be.
