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.

Another installment of me trying to do a bit more blogging, and at least writup something more often for my photography work.  Say hello to Alita, a local model that was looking to beef up her book with a more diverse look.  She had plenty of promotional style work in her portfolio, but we wanted to add some more high fashion style headshots.  So we worked on getting stuff that certainly had sex apeal, but showed off her true beauty.  I wouldn’t call this beauty work, but it certainly highlights what a great face she has.

This first shot I did using freelensing, which was a frustrating blast.  I only got about 3 great shots, but man were they fun to wo

I have really got to get better about writing up blog posts, but it feels like my time is shrinking with all my editing, and recent fashion work.  And for that I’m immensly grateful.  Of course I still need to keep on top of my blog, so I’m going to put up a few portfolio sessions that I did recently for you to check out.

The first is Brittany.  She was fantastic, great posing, great skin, and a super fun chic.  We had a blast working together…. speaking of which we really need to work together again soon.  Anyways I hope yall like these shots that I did for Britt’s portfolio.

This is probably one of my favvorite black and white shots I’ve ever taken.  I fell i

What me? Not write any blog posts for months? ME?!?! No never.  I know it’s been too long, but I’ve just been having fun doing all sorts of crazy things.  These shots are from a fashion portfolio shoot I did a while ago, but I wanted to share them.  They are some of my favs.  Katie is a local model here in Hudson Valley, and a total blast to work with.  Super nice, we had a blast creating some great images.  I love it when I get to work with people that seem to really “get” it.  Ya know?

I can’t express how much fun I’ve been having with my fashion work.  It’s so much more creative than my other outlets, and I think it’s really caused me to focus on my techniq

Well if you guys can’t tell, I’m really into my fashion photography lately.  I’ve been putting a ton of effort into both learning and growing as an artist.  For those of you who don’t know, when I got into photography this was what I aspired to do.  And while it probably won’t ever pay the bills, it will remain to be a part of my artistic being.  I can’t tell you how giddy and excited I get by this style of portrait work.

I say portrait work because to me, I’m so interested in capturing an emotion in the moment of the shot.  I love that feeling that you’re peering through a window that maybe you shouldn’t be.  That you’ve caught some interesting precipito
