Jesse RAY McEachern is a photographer and multi-disciplinary artist based in ‘Vancouver’. Ray is Trans and Non-Binary and has a special interest in photographing other Queer and Trans individuals. Their favourite thing about taking portraits is being able to work with someone ‘camera shy’ and capture an image they truly connect with. Numerous people struggle with their self image, Ray wants everyone to see the beauty they have in themselves.

Ray was first trained in film & dark room photography in 2005 before being gifted a DSLR for their 16th birthday in 2006. Ray has worked shooting live events and portraits around ‘Vancouver’ for the past 15 years. Capturing all sorts of events and environments, including Qmunity’s annual youth Queer Prom for over 10 years. They have fallen in love with documenting the local Drag community which they have been fortunate to do since 2016. Ray currently works as the in house photographer at The Birdhouse, they occasionally do pop up themed photobooths, providing guests with polaroid prints to take home.

Jesse Ray Photography thrives on collaboration and supporting others through skill share and knowledge. With the opening of TINYDOG Ray plans on starting community studio days, opening up the space to photographers who may not have the chance to work in studio.

for the love of dogs

One of Ray’s special interests is dogs, so naturally they named their studio after their tiny dog.

TINYDOG & Jesse RAY Photography are here to capture lasting images with your pets to cherish for a lifetime. Get portraits of just your dog, or join in for a pet & parent shoot.

Choose from bright and colourful backdrops or classic neutral tones to fit your pet. Ray also offers seasonal themed photo specials.

*not limited to only dogs

drag portraits

January 2016 Ray attended Vancouvers longest running monthly Drag show, Man Up for their first time to film a mutual friends performance. Since that night Ray has fallen in love with and immersed themselves in a life surrounded by Drag and gender performance. Working as an event photographer in Queer spaces, Ray has been able to document countless Drag performers over the years. The artistry and talent of Drag Kings, Things and Queens has consistently provided Ray with inspiration and an artistic drive to create. Ray has been able to work with and document various remarkable performers throughout the city.
