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 had the chance to shoot one of the local bands here in Hudson Valley, called “The Truth & Spectacle”.  You know what I love about band photography?  Everything!  It’s super fun to shoot these people that have so much character.  Honestly as much fun as fashion photography is to shoot, there’s something special about being able to do band portraiture.  It’s really an awesome thing to get to photograph these people who sing, and perform.  They are naturally pretty amazing in front of the camera, and they usually come with something special as far as a ‘look’ goes.   This band was no different.  Daniel, and Ryan are truly amazing artists, and I’m honestly so hap

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.

Well it’s certainly been a while since I’ve posted any engagement work up on my blog.  I’ve been so busy with the other sides of my business it’s been a challenge to find time to do the engagement work that I love doing.  I got a great chance to go out to San Francisco and photograph this wonderful couple.  They were truly special to work with, and I was really happy with the way the images came out.  Be sure to inquire about my rates if you’re interested in my engagement photography.

See I’m already doing better staying on top of my bloggin…. I’m already patting myself on the back.  I’m going to try and make this part of my saturday afternoon, is getting a few blog posts out to keep people up to date on what I’m up to these days.  I’ve been hanging out with a few Hudson Valley photographers and that’s been a real blast lately.  It’s so much fun meeting other photographers and talking shop, talking models, lighting…. all the drama in this biz.  It’s totally fun.  I’ve also just redesigned my whole website.  Blog not included.  I’m thinking about leaving the blog for a while.  I don’t really feel like changing it, and it’s a big pain, and lets be honest nobod

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
