I’ve been doing so much fashion photography lately, and I just love it.  It’s such a blast for me to be able to be super creative.  I love being able to come up with things that I can’t do on wedding or engagement photography.  Because of all that I finally rented my own studio space.  Which is awesome!  I’m so excited about it.  I just moved in a few days ago, and already I’m super happy about it.  It gives me the space I need to really work, which is something that i just couldn’t do when I was shooting out of my garage.  So here’s to me taking my photography to the next level!  Wish me luck.

In the interest of getting better and posting more frequently…. I’m going to start posting more pictures from my shoots and less discussion.  If you’re interested in knowing more about my lighting, hit me up in the comments and I’ll be glad to help you out.

These 2 girls were such a pair, we worked together on a bit of portfolio building for all of us, and man did we have some fun.  Here are a few of the different looks we were able to come up with while they were in my studio.

I should say Rebecca (the one in the orange shirt up there), is a helluva photographer in her own right, which is always interesting working with another photographer.  It can be bot

Wow winter sure did come out of nowhere.  Man I wish I would have had just a bit more time with all these wonderful fall colors.  I was such a gorgeous fall.  I think that fall has to be one of my favorite seasons warm, great colors, never too hot,  great lighting.  I mean honestly what more could you ask for.

I tell you what…. a killer model.  I haven’t had much of a chance to do any model / fashion / beauty photography lately.  I’ve been busy with life.  Working on a flagstone patio. Enjoying s

I took a nice little hiatus this summer with my wedding, my honeymoon and all sorts of other wild and crazy things that were going on this summer.  I did however get the chance to do some senior portraits for my new cousin in law, who by the way, is a total doll.  I don’t really do a ton of senior portraits, but of course I love portrait work.  I also got a chance to learn a ton about my new cousin in law.  She’s interested in acting, and she really wants to go out to NYU for college.

As it’s not really my style I decided not to do any of the shots where she leaned her head on a fake tree.  I tried to do my best to take her senior shots in a more fashion, and edgy direction.

Oye it’s been a while, but I’ve been so busy planning my own wedding it’s a bit hard to shoot other peoples weddings/engagements/portraits.  These shots are from a bit ago, and I’m stoked to finally get to post them.  I had a total blast on this shoot with Symantha.  She came to me wanting some nice portraits for her website/promotional stuff.  She’s a country music singer and wanted a bit of a country look to her portrait session.  I”m not gonna lie, this isn’t the majority of my work.  I mainly do a downtown feel.  I’m an urban guy, and I certainly know the urban scene, and I have an urban eye.  But every time I step out of my comfort zone I l

Grilled Salmon = Yum.  No Seriously.  I recently had a chance to do a bit of food photography which was a total blast.  I always forget how stressful food is to shoot though.  It’s not easy.  I realize it doesn’t move, it can’t show emotion, but it’s a real challenge to get something that looks nice on a plate without it ending up looking dead and dried out.  I have noticed a recent trend of photographers to get into food photography, but not putting in the hard work it takes to learn how to light food.  Yes I know surprising but it’s complicated to light food.  And also surprising is the fact that you light food a

Who’s wicked behind on posts and has 2 thumbs…. this guy.  I’m super sorry for anyone who tries to keep up with my blog on a regular basis, it’s just been so busy lately.  I’m getting ready for my own wedding if you didn’t know.  Which is a whole stressful world on it’s own, and I’m trying to stay on top of my photography.  Oh and I guess keep my day job.  Juggling these 3 things has become a bit overwhelming, and if something’s going to suffer it’s going to be my blog.  Because while it might help me bring more clients in, I’m sure my clients would rather me spend time working on their CD’s than write a post about their shoot.  So this post is going to be quick.

Man did I have fun with this couple.  Absolute blast to work with.  Annie is a flight attendant and Mike is a pilot.  So these guys are a total aviation couple.  I can’t imagine how much fun it would be to be able to jump on a plane like that whenever you want.  These guys are getting married in Maui, which is totally cool.  I’ve been there a few times, and th

Well I guess winter finally decided to show up.  It’s amazing how quickly the weather can change here in Czech Republic.  I love the weather here in Hudson Valley 90% of the time.  But when it gets below 0,  that’s when it’s just a bit too cold for me.  I can only handle so much cold, and that’s just too much cold for me.  I also have managed to get a bit of a cold, which kinda sucks because I’ve really wanted to work on some photography lately.  I think by me working on SEO so much l
