I’m starting to get closer to catching up on doing my blogging.  I’m still pretty far behind, but I’m getting closer.  These shots are only 4 months old. :)  That’s progress for me.

So child star Matt Gumley came to me to get him some great head shots before a play that he was in, wanted him to cut off all of his hair.  The life of an actor eh?  Wouldn’t that just suck.  I can’t imagine working in a job where my appearance was dictated to me by my employer.  Luckily I get to be a photographer which means flannel all day every day.  No seriously I’m wearing flannel right now.

For Matt we wanted to get him something really clean, but at the same time showed some character.  He wanted som

I had the opportunity to shoot some headshots for miss Chrissy a couple weeks ago.  She’s actually [Chucks](http://blog.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-headshot-photographer-chuck/ “Hudson Valley Headshot Photographer { Chuck }”) wife.  Which was a ton of fun, because I really just enjoyed being around their energy.  They’re a hilarious couple.  Chrissy is super goofy, which probably explains why she came to me for headshots.  She’s been working with an improv crew lately, and wanted to get some nice headshots for their promotional material.  Honestly, I’m suprised Chrissy didn’t do this kind of stuff sooner, she’s hilarious, and she always has been.

For these

Everyone say hi to Chuck. I recently had the chance to work with chuck to give him some new headshots. He had recently become more of a leader at the tech startup he’s working for, and he wanted to get a headshot that was clean, crisp, and modern. I actually really enjoy doing headshots for people in the Tech industry.  I have quite a bit of history in that industry, it’s actually what I went to school for and I worked for quite a while as a software engineer. So I always feel like it’s really easy for me to relate to people who work in Tech. I’d say I’m certainly pretty gregarious, but when you have a common ground like that it makes it even easier.

Chuck brought his wife along, which was a blast a

I sure do love doing portraits.  Now these are certainly more on the fashion side of things, but at the end of the day I feel like I am kind of a portrait artist.  I just capture the personality of the person in them, and Luccia is certainly a fashion girl.  Well, when she’s not tuning her subaru.  Luccia, and I always have a blast when we work together.  I’ll never forget the first time I worked with her.  I felt like she was a model who was ‘out of my league’.  She had already worked with so many great photographers, why would she want to work with me?  Since then we’ve worked together a few times, and created some amazing images.  She’s a total blast to work with, and is why I think we can get some great stu

Look at me being better about doing writups on my blog.  All of these images were shot last springtime, but that’s just how far behind on blogging I am.  It’s terrible, I never know what to write about, and I end up yammering on about how much I miss the springtime/summertime.  But yeah the summer has finally come.  Well spring I guess.  And I couldn’t be more excited to get some great shots done this time of year.   I’ve got a bunch of shoots lined up that I’m super excited for.  I want to make this the year that some of my model portfolio headshots make it into a major agency book.  The hard part about that, is that I’ll have to actually start making it out to L.A. or SF more this year.  I don’t think that w

It’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog, but springtime is here, and it’s time for me to start working on making sure that all my work is back up on my blog.  This is an older set I did with a local model and we worked on getting some cool summer sun shots.  I wanted something warm and fun, with just a bit of edge.  We had a total blast on this shoot, because my assistant was able to come with us.  Usually I don’t get an assistant for portrait work like this, but my assistant felt like tagging along.  Olive was a total blast to work with.  I loved how interesting her face looked, and I really loved the way some of the post work came out.

I recently had the chance to work with Andrew on some headshots for his acting career.  He needed pretty simple headshots, nothing fancy but something that showed he had a bit of character.  We decided to do his headshots on  a simple white backdrop.  Only difference between my headshots and everyone elses headshots is that they have a bit more dynamic lighting.  Nothing crazy, but certainly something that creates a clean professional look.  Because I normally shoot fashion I have a certain attention to detail when it comes to headshots.  Something I hope you can see in these shots.

We ended up with 2 shots for Andrew, one which was more serious, and one which sho

Well these shots are a bit old, but I never put them on the blog.  These are shots from my shoot with Charmaine down in Austin.  I normally work in Hudson Valley, but on occasion I get to travel down to Austin, and it’s always a blast to get a chance to work with this girl when I get down there.  I’d like to say that I’m a fashion photographer, but these are a good example of the fact that I really like capturing someone’s portrait.  Honestly, it’s like I’m a fashion photographer that likes getting to know the models that I work with.  I know that sounds strange, but when you have a connection with your model, the shots yo

I recently got a chance to work on some published fashion work with one of the models in Hudson Valley.   I love doing this editorial style of work, but it’s always hard to find time, wardrobe, and enough ideas to actually put together an editorial.  I guess I honestly just don’t have that many ideas when it comes to being an editorial photographer, even though I sure do love it.  This is Rebecca, and we worked together to create a gritty moody editorial piece for LaDamme magazine out of France.  It was a blast to shoot this one, and we actually had the cops called on us for trespassing which was both hilarious, and a little worrisome all at the same time.  It was still a blast to shoot t

Well if you can’t tell I’ve been trying to catch up on all my blogging lately.  It’s about time I start taking my blogging more seriously, as it certainly does affect how my website performs.  This time I’m going to talk through a portfolio session I put together for one of the local Hudson Valley models sarah weeks.  She currently works with wilhelmina here in Hudson Valley, which is an awesome agency, and I was happy to get a chance to shoot her.  She was super easy to work with, and I feel like we got some great shots.  Shots that show a bit of emotion, and something dynamic for Sarah.
