Ten years today I decided the photos I was taking could be a career and so began my professional journey. What an amazing decade of making rad art with rad people. ❤️ This little collage is the tiniest fraction of images I would have liked to share.

Thank you to my friend @fayehavoc.bsky.social, who recently sewed an insane 20' single seam to help me create a fabric backdrop for the studio. This project will save thousands in paper costs while reducing my carbon footprint, and significantly decrease my business's reliance on US made supplies.

Went to see Sammy Obeid tonight and enjoyed the show. Except have you ever had that thing where you're watching someone for an extended time, and they're standing in front of an intensely lit, contrasty background and it kinda makes your eyes go buggy? Drives me nuts. But yeh, good set!

A young man smiles and waves as he passes me by. It's a genuine smile, like a friendly neighbor you haven't seen in quite a while. Instinctively I return the favor. No words. Just a big warm smile and wave as we pass. I've never seen this man before in my life. #besttwosecondsofmyday

Those first few days after getting a new pack of socks, where you get to slide on a brand new pair every single day, damn that's sweet.

If your Instagram ad starts with the words 'whoever invented this deserves a raise' I'm swiping past so fast I'll never know what piece of sub-temu bullshit you're trying to sell. Stop using AI to write your shitty ads for shitty products that have been available at Canadian Tire for twenty years.

The Eastside Culture Crawl starts tomorrow night! Come visit the studio, see cool art! Thu/Fri 5pm until 10pm Sat/Sun 11am until 6pm

Thousands of incredible games over three arcade systems in my living room, and we all always end up playing Tetris lol.. #retro #gaming

So I just watched one of those YouTube videos that showed the most popular songs of each months over a few decades and for some reason it's got me so creatively amped up. Right before bed. Shit.

Just ordered a bunch of large format prints for this year's Culture Crawl and now I'm like an excited kid waiting by the door..

You want a little more? Well, just because you asked so nicely.. Miss Kiss doing Miss Kiss stuff. #bdsm #leather #latex #lingerie #strappy #dreamon

Duckduckgo has the option to emit AI from searches and I'm into it.

Hey y'all, bringing back the virtual sets this fall. Let's shoot somewhere different.. I didn't have an actual diner available for this style of shoot, so a lil composite (no AI) with Teresa. #noai #composite #blender #composite #cgi

Crossing Italy by train is so relaxing after a week of running about in scorching heat.

A much more interesting weekend than usual. #roma

New work! If you're in Vancouver and also want to do shots with my underwater effect setup, I still have two spots left. Message me on IG or via jonashby.com for details. *Swimming ability not required. 😎 #noAI #practicaleffects #photography #studio #underwater #swim #sword

Things have been slow lately. But I try to see the bright side: I've more free time to deep dive into my work. @katydecobray.bsky.social brought me her Din Djarin cosplay and an inspiring painting by John Gallagher. This is the result after six hours of editing. This is the way. #mandalorian #noAI

If you'd like to shoot in my underwater setup I'm holding a special event on May 24th with amazing rates. (Downtown Vancouver.) Three spots are left! Message me on IG for details. @jonchristianashby #practical #effects #noAI

My first lighting test for an underwater effect. I'm preparing for a themed photojam I'm going to be offering next month. It's gonna be fun! For my Vancouver friends stay tuned for details, or message me directly if you'd like to reserve a spot early! #practicaleffects #photography #underwater

BTS from my river shoot with @jonashby.com Go to IG to see the pics, link in bio Filming by @creature604.bsky.social who was being eaten by mosquitoes hence the shaky hand!

Proof that I do sometimes leave my studio..

Spring is blooming and I'm here for it. Shooting with Clare in the studio for that slight surreal effect. #spring #nature #noai #floral #bloom

Wait time was a bit long, but got it done.

Breakfast by the water, cherry blossoms and civic duty. What a beautiful day to vote.

@gateau.bsky.social Hotsy Flashy brought all the color to our yarn shoot, a burst of brightness just when we need it most. :) #colorful #yarn #surreal #whimsical #dress

I love it when a client challenges me with a request. Gia and Miss Kiss very much wanted to be on the poster for Wicked.. @hellomisskiss.bsky.social #cosplay #fan #wicked #musical #noAI #witch #oz

Just did a Hilda themed shoot with the marvellous @jonashby.com - here is a taste

Fun times in Abbotsford last night! #OLP #CollectiveSoul #concert

Slava Ukraini! Glory to the heroes.

Next up in my series of concerts I should've attended in my youth but some reason missed, Our Lady Peace with Collective Soul.. let's go!

Just sharing cuz it gives me nice calm feels.

It's been a tough week but my work is pretty caught up and I didn't die, this is a win. To celebrate here is an oozy Dezi. Enjoy! @dezidesire.bsky.social #toxic #slime #radioactive #slippery

I always love getting out of the studio to support the wonderful people who support me. Valentine's Duos was another sold out hit! #burlesque #friends #dancers

Alright I’m back, and more than ready to get back into the dungeon after a week away. Let me tie you up. 📸 @jonashby.com

X marks the spot.

I've opened up my books for March and April, and have subscription photography spots available for those in the Vancouver area. Visit jonashby.com and click booking to grab a spot, they'll go fast.

Happy Superbowl Sunday! 🏈 Enjoy some unrelated but hot photos with Kash, and don't forget to change the channel whenever the fascist cheeto appears on camera. #sexy #rave #musician #performer #bikini

Chelsea just celebrated her birthday, many happy returns to a stellar model and rad human being! #bodypaint by Jennifer Little.

I’m home sick tonight so enjoy this new pic of me not in my pj’s ⛓️‍💥 Pic by @jonashby.com Whip from UPKO Mesh suit from ANOESES Shoes: an early birthday present @christianlouboutin.bsky.social

Why am I not surprised.

So Trump claims a pretend victory.. we already offered the border budget increase weeks ago, Mexico already has 15k border patrollers and Trump demands.. 10k? This guy is your negotiator? I mean it was a convincing bluff, but traditionally you ask for something you don't already have.

Meow 😼💜 The neon sign is real - no Photoshop! The lighting in this set is purrrr-fection! 📸 @jonashby.com

Ok so serious talk, these tariffs are already directly affecting my business. It seems Trump would prefer I buy from China or Europe when I can't find Canadian sources for supplies. I'd rather keep doing business with America, but at +25% he just priced you out of the market. Sorry y'all.
