About Us

Joe Magnani and Jared Schlachet, the duo that make up JSquared Photography, have been working together for over a decade and remain one of the most sought after photography pairs in the industry. From studio and network work to publications, advertising, and brands, JSquared is known for their impeccable technical skills and their ability to bring creative visions to life in print and on screen.

Joe and Jared attended the prestigious Brooks Institute of Photography, honing in on their craft from a young age. While they met after graduation, the duo began assisting one another on solo jobs and quickly realized that together, they could make magic happen on set. Their way of working is unique; two sets of eyes working together, with each photographer taking their turn behind the camera while the other directs each frame, guiding the shooter and ensuring every photo captures a detailed, moment in time.

JSquared has become a favorite amongst talent over the years, with their collaborative, no-ego, down to earth energy. Actors they have photographed include: Mark Ruffalo, Lena Waithe, John Legend, Awkwafina, Taraji P. Henson, Bob Odenkirk, Heidi Klum, America Ferrera, Lana Condor, Elle Fanning, Zoë Kravitz, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Justin Hartley, to name a few.

A motorcycle enthusiast, you can find Jared cruising up and down the coast on his Harley-Davidson when he isn’t behind the camera. Joe and Jared currently reside in the Los Angeles area.
