Happy Days! - Brooklyn, N.Y.- portrait photographer



Oh happy day! New York is getting some spring time weather. Over the past few months we have experienced some not so pleasant weather conditions to say the least. The bad weather has put many New York photographers in a bit of a funk for the better half of the winter. I am predominantly an indoor portrait photographer, but getting to clients and clients getting to me has been a bit of a hassle. So I am very happy as I am sure you are also for the break in the weather. Don’t get me wrong this is in no way a rant about the work of Mother Nature I am very happy to be alive and well to experience the weather at all, but It’s time to dust the snow off those lenses and get back to work. As we all know it is really not work if you love what you do, but you get the point. Happy clicking everyone.  

Training | Brooklyn, N.Y. portrait photographer

Weekend workout photograph. The idea came from all the new years resolutions that people make. I wanted to make the photos look moody and low key. I used one beauty dish for the subject and a very small light for the background keeping it very simple. Over thinking a shot will just make things complicated, so I love the k.i.s technique, keep it simple.

lighting the soul

2014 has set a fire in my soul with photography. This year I am going to dig deep inside to pull out whatever photo idea I can come up with. I mean why not? No fear in 2014, and beyond. That goes for whatever ideas any of you reading this may have, no matter what your passion is "just do it" keep on pushing forward, and light that fire in your soul for what you want out of life.

Ahh, the good times that these cameras have made for so many people. The polaroid was always the life of a party, I guess now with camera phones there is no need for these, but to me a phone is not the same. Remember the joy of pressing the shutter and that white square photo would come out, and than we would shake the photo for dear life lol, and no one could touch the front of the photo. slowly but surely like magic the photo would appear. The process was simply amazing. Only one drew back "the film" was hella expensive, and you only got like ten shots, but we made those ten shots count. The memories that the polaroid has made are amazing and we are all happy for them. :)  

work space

I love my work space. I get most of my inspiration from there, as you can see I love being surrounded by photos. The photos help me stay on the right path, whenever I'm feeling tired and lazy I just sit at my desk to regain my focus. I know everyone has that one place to get them back on track because more than not its needed. Always remember stay focused. peace!
