Tableau Vivant

So what has been keeping me busy?
The next Tableau Vivant :)

I work for Sarah Small the photographer, visionary and all around amazing artist.  If you haven't seen her images you should check out www.sarahsmall.com (your truly is in one of the photos if you look closely.  Shorter hair and a lot more cushion, but I'm there).

Sarah has been creating and putting out mini-Tableau performances for a while now and all of them have been a preview of what promises to be an amazing event.

120 models, a huge space, multiple musical groups etc. and two very special events (A bit of a surprise, I'll share later).

So I've been running errands, getting catering for the three days of rehearsal and performance, sending out invitations to important people....etc. etc.

Basically all of my free time has been swallowed up by this project - which I am more than happy to report.  The performances have been moving to say the least and it is an honor to participate in something so moving and beautiful.  The final performance promises to be well worth all of the hard work that so many have put in to make this project happen.

Please check out the link and keep in mind that tickets will be available soon if you care to attend the amazing event.

Photos of my own will be up soon, but things are on hold for a moment while I work on some other fantastic art.

Best and more soon,

Some Old Favorites

As any photographer will attest, we tend to have a lot of photographs squirreled away on many a hard drive.   And at least I have a tendency to shoot a lot and then sometimes not go back and look at the things that I shot for personal use or fine art.  Which isn't always bad as it turns out.  It is kind of like having a little treasure box that you open up every once and a while and find all sorts of lovely shiny things :)

Here are a few old favorites that I shot at some point in the past and have recently fell in love with again (or I just thought they looked pretty cool).

Hope you enjoy!

My first Wedding Shoot in NYC

Working with the talented Daniel Krieger was quite an introduction to the wedding photography scene in NYC.
What a beautiful wedding it was too.  The space alight with the glow of the West Side.  The happy (and exceptionally nice) bride and groom visiting with their international family members.

A fabulous night all around.  Photos to come soon - for now some sleep.

New York Time Out Magazine Featured My Photographs!

I submitted a few photos at the suggestion of a friend to New York Time Out Magazine Online and they decided to use all three of them :)

Some exposure (pun intended) never hurt anyone I suppose.

It was a nice surprise and hopefully some people liked my take on NYC.

Follow the link to see the photos they picked (please also keep in mind that the crop is all them...they are not the way I shot them).

The past few...months :)

Hello everyone,

So sorry I have been away and haven't posted in Forever!

What has been keeping me away?  Well to be honest, life.

Things have changed a lot for me this year.  Career changes, life changes and a lot of personal growth.  All good, but lots to keep up with.

My last post was on Event Photography and since then I have done quite a lot of it.
Here are some of the images I captured at some of NYC's hottest clubs :)

Now that my club photography days have come to an end (not a sad thing I assure you, but a GREAT experience overall) I am doing some product photography, which is a welcome first for me. 

Other than that, I am of course still working on my favorite type of photography - Portraits.  

I adore the challenge of capturing the best of someone's personality.  All the ins and outs of themselves that they are willing (and sometimes surprised to see) to share on film. 

More images soon I promise!
