Nashville, Tennessee author / photographer available for appearances, signings, and presentations-
My name is Jay Farrell—a Nashville-based fine art photographer and author focused on documenting overlooked places and the stories they hold. My work blends photography and narrative—capturing not just what remains, but what it felt like to be there.
I’m the author of Route 66 Roadscapes: Stories Through The Lens, along with other photography and road trip-focused projects that explore America’s backroads, forgotten spaces, and shifting landscapes.
Bringing Stories to Life
What I offer isn’t just a presentation—it’s an experience.
Through a mix of imagery and storytelling, I walk audiences through the places I’ve explored, the moments that shaped the work, and the process behind capturing it all. From Route 66 to lesser-known backroads, each talk is designed to feel immersive, personal, and visually driven. I aim to create something that resonates beyond the images—something people remember.
I’m currently booking:
- Book signings
- Speaking engagements
- Photography and travel presentations
- Community events and local programs
- Camera clubs and creative groups
- Independent bookstores and literary spaces
Whether it’s an intimate group or a larger audience, I adapt each talk to fit the setting.
A Different Kind of Presentation
I’m not reading from a script.
Each appearance is conversational, visually rich, and shaped by real experiences in the field. I engage directly with the audience, encourage questions, and create space for discussion.
If you’re looking for something that feels less like a lecture and more like a shared experience—that’s where I do my best work.
