BROOKLYN, N.Y. – JTS Studios is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of a new commemorative website dedicated to showcasing the extraordinary portfolios of its past and present freelance photographers. The curated online gallery will feature a stunning collection of memorable wedding photos, precious first baby portraits, and highly anticipated exclusive celebrity rarities.
Beyond the photographs themselves, the new website will offer visitors a glimpse behind the lens, sharing the captivating and sometimes unbelievable stories of how these images came to be.
One such highlight features JTS Studios photographer J Roberts, who recalls an unforgettable morning on Saturday, November 7, 2009. While pinning sample works to a community bulletin board in the entrance of a luxury apartment building—a tried-and-true tactic to give potential clients a true view of the finished product—the 6’1″ Roberts was approached by a man in a designer winter coat who stood at about armpit height to him.
“Oh! So you’re the guy that does those!” the man said in a deep, authoritative voice.
After eagerly agreeing to a private penthouse shoot at 1:00 PM later that day, Roberts turned to slide a business card out of his left shirt pocket. When he turned back, the mysterious stranger had vanished without a trace.
Arriving ten minutes early for the appointment, Roberts knocked on the penthouse door. On his second attempt, he was greeted by a towering, professional wrestler-sized henchman who announced, “He’s been expecting you!” Roberts was led down a hallway where he discovered the mysterious stranger—now without the winter coat and surrounded by three beautiful women who appeared to be supermodels or television stars.
It was in that moment Roberts realized he had been beckoned to be the private photographer for the legendary musician, Prince Rogers Nelson. However, the exclusive shoot was not to capture the unparalleled beauty of the three sirens, but rather a girl who played an even more important role in the music icon’s life.
“You can read the full biography of this incredible experience, view the exclusive photographs, and explore many more captivating stories on our new website soon,” said a spokesperson for JTS Studios.
The commemorative website will serve as a digital museum, honoring the artistry, dedication, and unique adventures of the JTS Studios photography team.
