Hudson Valley Photographer { Abstract Location Scouting }

I know it’s rare that I put up something so abstract on my blog, but every once in a while I see an abstract shot that I really enjoy.  This is one of those cases.  I rarely do abstract photography anymore.  I’m far too busy doing portrait photography, which is really my main passion.  But when I first got into photography I did a lot more abstract photography than portraits.  I mean honestly how many times can you take a picture of your friends before they start to get annoyed.

I always enjoyed using textures in my abstract photography.  I think the use of textures adds what I like to call “Crunch” to an image.

Engagement Photography Hudson Valley { Candace + Andrew }

First off if you’re looking for an engagement photographer take a look at my [Hudson Valley engagement photography](http://www.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-Engagement-Photographer.aspx “Engagement Photography Hudson Valley”) portfolio.

Man I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve done a real post about some of my recent work.  I’ve been so busy with other things going on in my life it’s been hard to stay on top of blogging.  Not that blogging is really a chore, I love writing about all my photography sessions, and being able to look back on them with some version of commentary.  Even if the commentary is lacking I hope the photography isn’t.

I sure do love spri

Hudson Valley Engagement Photography { Kaleb + Colleen }

First off if you’re looking for an engagement photographer take a look at my [Hudson Valley engagement photography](http://www.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-Engagement-Photographer.aspx “Engagement Photography Hudson Valley”) portfolio.

I know it’s been a while.  I keep promising to stay up on all my posting, and make sure that I post often and write new stuff, but I just keep getting so busy.  This time I’m blaming it on the fact that I had thanksgiving dinner this year at my house.  Yes that means that I cooked a turkey and everything.  It was amazing.  Great food, great family, just all around it was an absolute blast.  I would love to say that I want to host thanksgiving every year, but we’ll see.  I can’t quite t

Fashion Photographer Hudson Valley { Goldyn Fashion Show }

I hate putting all this portrait orientated shots on my blog, because I don’t feel like they work as well as the landscape oriented shots, but whatcha gonna do.  I could make them smaller, but I like my work to be shown at a decent enough size that you can really get a feel for the shot, and see some detail.  For instance on this shot I did a ton of post work, hopefully none of which you can see.  Fashion is weird like that, it involves so much more than the more natural look of my engagement photography.  Not that I don’t do post work on my engagement photography, but it’s more about contrast and color, and less about makeup, fly aways and bone structure.

I really shouldn’t make it sound like all the post work I did h

Hudson Valley Fashion Photographer { Goldyn Fashion Show }

You know what I love most about photography?  Fashion photography.  I love the makeup, the style, the creativity in a look.  I love everything about fashion photography.  If it payed my bills I would do it all the time.  Thing is Hudson Valley fashion photography is a little hard to get into.  There really aren’t that many clients, and Hudson Valley isn’t exactly the fashion capital of the world.  So with that in mind it’s hard for me to do it on a regular basis.  But when I get the opportunity to I love doing it.

So my girlfriend is a hair stylist, and makeup artist for Antione Du Chez in cherry creek.  Which gets me an “in” to any of the fashion shows that she does.  She was doing the makeup for the show, and I tagged along camera in hand,

Wedding Photography Hudson Valley { Jan and Andrew }

First off if you’re looking for an wedding photographer take a look at my Hudson Valley wedding photography portfolio.

So here are some more shots from Jan and Andrews wedding.  I’ve been working a ton on these shots, because they are so much fun to work on.  I swear I’ve actually been smiling when I look at some of these shots.  This was such a great opportunity to work under pressure, and with little preparation.  It was great for me to experience what it’s like to shoot a wedding, and learn what I can and can’t do.  Rarely do I shoot this many people all at once, and it was definitely a challenge to get everyone smiling, eyes

First off if you’re looking for an wedding photographer take a look at my [Hudson Valley wedding photography](http://www.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-Wedding-Photographer.aspx “Wedding Photography Hudson Valley”) portfolio.

I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve felt really busy lately, but I think it’s just all in my head.  That and my throat hurt a bit so that kept me from doing the things that I really wanted to.  Like work on Jan and Andrews wedding photographs.  I have been desperately craving working on something creative.  But before I can have fun with the creative stuff I have to sort through all their images, and get ratings and stuff

Hudson Valley Engagement Photography {Carrie + Matt}

First off if you’re looking for an engagement photographer take a look at my [engagement photography portfolio](http://www.davebrownphotography.com/Hudson Valley-Engagement-Photographer.aspx).

So I had a another engagement shoot with a couple transported to Hudson Valley from Pittsburgh.  Say hi to Carrie and Matt.  They were a great couple to work with, and we had a ton of fun walking around Hudson Valley taking some nice relaxed candids.  They are planning their whole wedding here in Hudson Valley, while the actual wedding is going to be in Pittsburgh.  Imagine how hard that would be.  They fly back every couple of weeks, and have a whirlwind of things to get done.  20 minutes for this, 15 minutes for that.  It’s got to be hard

Portraits of a Native American Dancer

Here’s another shot from my trip down to Santa Fe.  We were walking around the plaza, and we walked over by the La Fonda, any of you who might know Santa Fe a little bit know that the parking lot across from the La Fonda is a really small open air bazaar.  It’s kind of interesting.  They usually have blankets, and shirts, and general Santa Fe stuff.  They usually have the best price on Ristra’s too (at least in the plaza).  If you don’t know what those are, they are the bundles of chili peppers that are bright red.  The are great still life fodder, but again still life isn’t the first thing I look for when I’m walking around.  I want people to photograph, whether I know them or not.

So this is another shot with my 70-200.  Which this was the first time that I
