I have been a professional photographer for over 25 years and of course very much love what I do. Much of my experience and education with photography evolved while living in lower Manhattan, working with editorial, fashion, glamour, photojournalism and still life photographers for Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Interview, Real Simple and Self magazines. I feel my past experience is evident in my over all photography style.
STYLE:
I feel that my photography style is reportage, editorial and documentary to name a few. At a wedding I am also a still life photographer photographing the rings, shoes etc and a fashion / glamour photographer as well because I will be modeling you, hair, makeup, clothing and all!
I prefer to work with natural light however at times I add modeling light with light modifiers to balance the over all exposure of images for creative effect. I aim to create natural, organic, realistic images utilizing objects around us to add to the over all composition of my images. I do very little post processing, the images you see in my galleries are created in camera with very little post manipulation and no filters. Aside from weddings I photograph events and portraits. I also freelance for Corning Glass as well as other entities.
LOCATIONS:
I photograph weddings, engagements and elopements throughout every region of New York; Western NY, Finger Lakes, Central NY, Southern Tier, Mohawk Valley, 1000 islands, Adirondacks/North Country, Capital Region, Mid Hudson/Catskills, NYC and Long Island. I photograph weddings in VT, NH, PA, MA, Fl and beyond as well.
PERSONAL:
I live in the Finger Lakes region of NY with my fiancé Beth and our two beautiful children. I love meeting new people, visiting new places and experiencing new things, I love life. Everyone is welcome in my world, I would love to experience your world for a day.
I am a member of PPA / Professional Photographers of America.
