Bikes and Photography 2013


Hello World! I’m so excited to put these images on the blog today. Yesterday I went to the NYC International Motorcycle Show. And, of course that means I got some great images! This year I was a little low key, and didn’t get as many shots as anticipated. Reason being, the show seemed scaled down this year. So instead of focusing on that I decided to participate a bit more. We watched a few presentations and I sat on a few dual-sports seeing how, I am looking for a new bike. So, here you go, my favorite detail images from the 2013 IMS Show at the Javits.

Married:: Elita and Sheldon


J’ouvert Sunday 2012, I had the pleasure of documenting Elita and Sheldon’s wedding in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. I blogged some same day teasers a little while ago, but here are both mine and the couples favorites.

The couple had a peacock-purple and turquoise theme.

Elita and Sheldon decided on a “first look” before their ceremony. Sheldon, you are sharp!!

I positioned the bride so that she would not be seen in his peripherals once she got close, but that I could also capture the bridesmaids looking on in the distance. Perfect composition! This might be one of my favorite images of all time : )

I love the Hora, just as much as the guests!

When the bride saw this image, she giggled. Not only because of the obvious, but because a teenage girl was holding her chair up.

Rabbi Gloria, officiated the wedding. She made her mark at the ceremony, leading guests through Elita’s Jewish traditions and readings, yet keeping the simplicity of an intimate wedding in the park.

For me, the guest and family shot is the crowning moment of the reception. Everyone is together in one image and it ties the day together. Thank you Sheldon and Elita for allowing me to capture the personal moments of your wedding day. It was such a beautiful affair! My assistant and I hold it as one of the best weddings we have captured!

Nassie’s Sunset Photoshoot in Prospect Lefferts Gardens


On what was a hot and sultry evening in August, I met up with Nassie to take some portraits of her. She was looking for a relaxed style of images that she could interchange professionally and personally. we kept it local and it worked out in our favor seeing as how my neighborhood has some beautiful tree lined streets. You be the judge!

I like to begin with subtle photos, to get my folks warmed up…
