So these shots were a total blast.  These are from my trip to japan.  These were actually in Osaka, Japan.  We spent a few days in Osaka to get away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.  Which after a while can be a little overwhelming.  We’re still planning on moving out there eventually, but I think we’re going to l

Here are some more shots that I did while I was in tokyo.  This fantastic model is Yuki.  She was a total blast to work with.  Again I was so sad that I couldn’t speak japanese, because I could tell she had a super fun personality.  When she wasn’t busy looking absolutely gorgeous, she was making funny faces at me.  Which had me laughing pretty much our entire

These shots sure were fun.  Heidi is a great local Hudson Valley model.  She’s been a model for Donna Baldwin for just a little while, but already she’s had some pretty big gigs.  She was a blast to work with with, and I think we got some killer shots.  It sure was fun working with her pretty face.  These kinds of headshots are my bread and butter, and wh

Here are some shots I did with a local Donna Baldwin Model Alyssa.  Man was she great to work with.  She moved really well, and had a fantastic look to her.  We had a ton of fun shooting together.  We wanted to put some great stuff into her portfolio to make her a bit more marketable around here.  She hadn’t really done much shooting in a while, and her look had changed a bit, so she wanted to update her comp card.  So we went with a couple of outside looks, and some studio stuff.  We wanted to add some variety so she would have lots of stuff to choose from for her comp card.  I worked with her fantastic agent over at Donna to make sure we came o

Here’s some more shots that I did this summer with a local Hudson Valley agency model, Jacqueline.  She was a blast to work with.  And the whole time I managed to tease her about the fact that I thought because her name was Jacqueline, that she was clearly french.  So I talked to her in a joking french accent for most of our shoot.  Luckily she was a good sport about it.  We had a ton of fun on this shoot.  We ended up doing a pretty early morning shoot, as I think she was busy with a ton of things around this time.  This was right around the time that she took a trip out to Hudson Valley, to work with some of the great photographers out there.  Which was h

A while ago I got a great chance to work with this beauty.  This is Brianna, who’s a local model who works for the Wilhelmina Modeling agency.  Man is this girl talented.  When she showed up in my studio, I knew we were going to get some fantastic shots.  She’s got a gorgeous face, and came with some fun clothes, and her makeup looked flawless.  I had seen Brianna on their boards, and just really loved her look.  So I was super excited when I got a chance to work with her.  We wanted to add some versatility to her portfolio.  Something that would show a few different looks, and sides.  I always try and add as much variation as I

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

These are some shots I did on film for an editorial in Jute Magazine.  I really loved this shoot.  I felt like at this point I was really getting a hold of what my Leica could do, and how I could make it really stand out.  I had also figured out by this point how I could develop my own film, and process and scan it.  This was the shoot that I got a new scanner for.  And I really loved the way the images came out.

These shots are from an old editorial of mine.  I actually shot these on my Leica M7.  I honestly haven’t done that much work with my leica, as it’s mostly for me to have fun with when I’m travelling.  That camera is rock solid, so it’s a great travel camera.  I never have to worry about people bumping into it, and who would want to steal a film camera these days.  If they only knew it was worth much more than most of my DSLR setups.  This was all shot with a 50mm summilux.  I absolutely adore that lens.  Of course it’s not as crisp or contrasty as my nikon lenses, but after a bit of post work I can get it exactly where I want it.

Madi is a fantastic local model.  She has a gorgeous face, and she’s supe
