Jerrra Blues—In the City

Jerrra and I decided we wanted something with a city in the fall feel to it. I invited her to my home studio where we shot on the roof. And then took a ride over to the Train where we got some more gritty city style photos. Jerrra has a really cool look. It’s very Eastern Bloc meats 1970’s NYC. Her eyes were super bright and really came out with her tattoos. We opted for a spunky style for this set. What do you think?

Moe—Test in the Street

Moe and I decided we wanted to do a Fall inspired shoot. This is the first shoot I set up on Pintrest! We took a more casual approach to this shoot! Just a couple of wardrobe changes and a few location shoots. Moe was awesome, totally ready to assume the role! I was most excited about the shots under the J train! I can’t wait to shoot with her again soon!

Becky and Mike at Coney Island

First let me explain that photo above. Mike just told Becky that he would go on the Cyclone. That’s a great reason to be excited!

Travel with me back in time… Becky and I have known each other for over 20 years. Back in 1994 I was a First Class Boy Scout with Becky’s little brother in Troop 9. So yea… a long time. When she asked me about engagement photos, I immediately suggested Coney Island. I’m rarely there early enough to get shots with the gates closed. I really dug the pattern for the photos.

We made our way around Deno’s Wonder Wheel and out onto the beach for a really great backdrop of the park! As we headed over to the carousel Mike suggested we go on the Cyclone. Obviously, Becky was pretty excited!

We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Look at those blue skies!

Joanna and Ted: A Wonder Wheel Wedding

Ok, stop me if you’ve heard this one before!

I was hanging out a couple weekends ago on Coney Island with some friends. Of course, I had my camera on me and one of my friends runs into her buds. Turns out they are on their way to the Wonder Wheel to get married.

Just a simple short ceremony on one of the most famous amusement rides ever! Y’know things like this happen all the time… WAIT! No they don’t!

I ask if they have a photographer. They tell me no, just they’re officiant and two witnesses.

I ask if they want a photographer.  HECK YES! So they get me a ticket and I get to shoot one of the coolest (and fastest) weddings I’ve ever heard of.

Check out the shots! Joanna’s outfit is this super cool flapper deal complete with headband. Ted got to wear shorts! RED shorts even! Awesome!

Pretty awesome story right?! If you are thinking about something simple and you’re not sure if you need a photographer, rest assured YOU NEED A PHOTOGRAPHER. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

Ally in the City

Last week I caught up with my friend Ally. I’ve been itching to do some more studio style fashion work. I couldn’t help try a little bit of editorial as well. We aimed for a high color, high contrast mood. Of course, Ally provided plenty of charm, good looks and attitude!

Ally is going to add a few of these to her headshot portfolio. If you’re interested in booking me for a headshot session just contact me here!

5 Things that Happen when you Hire a Brooklyn Photographer 

1. You’re gonna see some cool locations! 


I know my neighborhood well. But I’m always exploring new ones. My favorite places to shoot are Coney Island, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Central Park. I spend a few days each month scouting new spots. Wanna see where the Beastie Boys took photos with Glen E. Friedman? Or How about we head into TriBeCa and you get Wedding photos in front of the firehouse from Ghostbusters? One thing’s for sure I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.

2. Your photos are gonna look unique. 


I spend a lot of time researching trends of the industry. I prefer to avoid most of them. Some ideas, though, are timeless and I include those into my style. I believe a great photographer never stops learning. In this industry, you really have to sample it all, take what you love and make it a part of you.

3. You’re gonna laugh. No seriously!


One thing is for certain. You and I are gonna have a good time. I love doing this. It’s not just a job. It’s who I am. We’re gonna joke and we’re gonna laugh. There’s gonna be awkward moments, we’re gonna laugh about those too. Who would you rather spend the last few hours of your single life with? Some uptight “been in this business for decades” wedding professional… OR This Guy (I’m pointing at myself)! I’ll do the dang Curly Shuffle if it means putting a smile on your face.

4. We’re all gonna dance. 


I think it’s weird if I’m the only one not moving on the dance floor. I don’t like to call people “square” (seriously that’s just a strange thing to call a person, it’s 2015) but if you won’t dance at a wedding then you are a square. I don’t wanna be the square at your wedding. I love to dance. While you’re at it put Footloose on your Wedding Day Playlist, if you’re having a band play, make sure they know it. Neutron Dance by the Pointer Sisters is pretty great too!

5. You’re gonna have a new friend.


We just spent a whole day together. It was intense! Chances are you cried, chances are I did too. We definitely laughed. We danced, we explored. We both did that wide eyed “I know right!” look when your uncle started breakdancing. How could we not be friends?

There’s a reason folks get married with me then call me up a little later for pregnancy/baby pics and then see me for family photos. I become part of the family. If I grew up with you, chances are I already am. Maybe I’ll stop by on Thanksgiving after dinner for dessert!

Seriously, though this sounds awesome right? Well There’s no time like right now to contact me for a quote. I promise I’m super friendly.
