About
I'm Jarai. I live in Benbrook, I shoot on trips, and I usually book the flight before I've packed. The work up top is the short version of the last few years of that habit — Tokyo, Doha, Costa Rica, Sweden, the places I keep going back to.
No grand theory. I just like what happens when you point a camera at a place and wait for it to show you what it's actually like. If you've got something like that, send a note.
