About Jordan
Ensemble member, Swing, Cover, Dance teacher, choreographer, film actor. I have been cast in every single one of these jobs for all types of shows. I understand how hard it is to market yourself as a performer. I also understand how frustrating it is to get a brand new shiny stack of headshots and have your agent, or a casting director, or even a friend tell you they aren’t great or don’t capture “you”. What’s even more frustrating is the current need for more than a headshot. In these times casting directors are requiring dance shots, fitness shots, a social media presence, and more. That’s why I started doing what I do. I have always been passionate about helping performers feel like they have what they need to go out and achieve their goals.
I got my start photographing dance competitions like LA Dance Magic, The Pulse, Star Systems, Act 1, and more. While I loved shooting competitions, I couldn’t help but wish I was working with the gorgeous dancers I was seeing in audition rooms - afterall, if these 13 year olds were inspiring me, how much more inspiration was there to be found amongst my peers? More so, in a private shoot I would be able to work with dancers in a more indepth way so I could capture exactly what they needed. So, I quit the competition circuit, bought my own gear, and J.eaglephotography was born.
A few years ago I really thought it was happening. I’d lived in NYC for about three years and I had been hustling. The last few audition seasons I’d promoted myself as a dancer who sings; this season I decided to lead with my voice. So far, it was going well. My resume showed I was a dancer, so when I walked into an EPA or Singers ECC I was able to surprise them with my voice (which, by the way, is problematic that this stereotype persists).
