DALLAS BASED music journalist and documentary photographer
“Working in the entertainment industry, I have been exposed to Emma Jaye’s extraordinary work, including her photographs of those I work with and represent. Her eye is amazing, as is her ability to capture the moment and pluck emotion out of the air and preserve it for all time. Emma Jaye is not just a photographer, she is an artist...

THE MISSION
“You can not make art that you feel, unless you feel first”
This is the quote that I create by; regardless of the medium. I have learned that in order to create something that moves people, you must first be moved. The most essential tool to create with is passion. You must feel it deep in your soul and let it resonate throughout your entire body. Let it guide your eyes and control your hands. It is only then, that you will create something that people can truly feel...
And that is the true magic of being an artist.
LIVE MUSIC & TOUR PHOTOGRAPHY
When the lights go down, and the speakers start to rumble - it sets my soul on fire. We search our entire lives for our purpose here, but I found mine in the countless venues, the tours, the hours of editing, the music of the people I love and that lightning in a bottle feeling that I get every time that I am behind my lens.
We are all familiar with the electricity of live music…
But what is left when the show is over and the crowds go home? What does the tour look like? More importantly, what does it feel like? THAT is my calling. I yearn to be the fly on the wall of green rooms and the shadow of the artists that I work with. I aim to capture the gritty moments you can only imagine after sleeping in-between states from the bunk of a tour bus.
MUSIC JOURNALIST, PHOTOGRAPHER AND EDITORIAL ASSISTANT AT SCREAMER MAGAZINE
Screamer Magazine was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1987 by David F. Castagno, Publisher/Editor. The publication’s concept was to cover the local L.A. music scene with the respect they deserved. Giving unsigned bands a professional quality publication in which to be featured was Castagno’s primary goal. The magazine was met with instant praise and success and soon became “the” source for L.A.’s metal scene and it wasn’t long before the biggest bands in the genre were featured interviews.
In 1992 Screamer Magazine took the quantum leap from being a local Southern California publication to becoming a national magazine, further expanding its reach and influence. However, with the explosion of grunge rock and metal sales beginning to wane, Screamer Magazine published its final print issue in March of 1994. With the rebirth of 80s metal popularity and digital technology, Screamer Magazine lives on for a whole new generation of fans.
