My Muse

 My son is and will always be my muse even if he knows it or not. At the tender age of 4 years old he is my favorite person to take photos of because I never know what to expect, which is wonderful for a photographer. I never know what side of him I will get could be his action hero persona, his cool guy or is just being a happy 4yr old (I swear the song Happy by Pharrell Williams was made just for him). My son reminds me so much of myself when I was young just full of imagination and creativity. I look at him and it brings the creativity out in me, that free spirit, and that anything is possible way of thinking he has and will always motivate me to go above and beyond. Who or what is your muse? I thank the lord for mine everyday. For my son Tyler, love daddy.

Sweet!

Hope you all have a sweet day, I know I will.

my new fix

This is my new baby. I got it about two weeks ago and I simply love it. The bike is a fixed gear which means no gear shifting or free wheel coasting. All of the motion is from your leg power, you can move forward or backwards. A bike such as this has much less for you to worry about when riding, just the joy of the ride. So if you see a guy flying past you with camera on his back give him a shout it might just be me. :)

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.
