Had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite bands for a second time, for iHeartRadio in New York. Great to work with these dudes again, and needless to say they put on an amazing gig!
I recently had the pleasure of working with the team at Point 72, an asset management firm based in CT, with offices in Manhattan. They wanted a “hip techie” look to the images, so I kept my lighting fairly simple, relying mostly on window light and my 6 foot octabox as a fill.
I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite bands for Clearchannel/iheartradio last week. These shoots are always a whirlwind, 3 portraits in 15 min. Once again though, I managed to pull off some great shots. The 13 song concert in the iheartradio Theatre was amazing! For more visit iheartradio
One of my favorite places to spend time in Brooklyn, is Prospect Park. Yesterday afternoon, my friend and fellow photographer Josh Kristal, and I, took a bike ride there. While leisurely cruising around, we came upon a very friendly Jamaican family, who offered us a plate of food. Delicious home cooked ribs, jerked chicken, black beans and rice.
We offered them some money which they refused, but they did agree to pose for a family portrait, which I promised to send them via email.
After our meal, we heard music coming from a clearing on the other side of a patch of trees. Josh recognized it as a Haitian Rara, typically a form of music festival that takes the form of a procession and happens during Easter Week. Upon closer inspection we realized if was more of an impromptu jam session with about 15 musicians playing drums, cow bells, blocks, and horns made from PVC pipe and funnels. The songs where rhythmic and hypnotic and went on for ten minutes or more. The gathering of people who surrounded the “band” looked on while smoking, dancing, joining in with singing and clapping.
The sun was quickly setting. As I was shooting a portrait of Josh on his bike, a group of children came over and asked me to photograph them, which I did. They were so delighted by the process, the two oldest (girl and the boy) took a turn taking photos, with a quick instruction on how to do it. The whole experience was quite inspiring and was a great finale to one of the best weekends I’ve had in my life.
And when the kids took over.
All images made with the Fujifilm X-Pro1 and the 27mm pancake lens.
Last year I had the pleasure of photographing Thomas Sandell of Sandell Asset Management Corp., for The Hedgefund Journal, a magazine based in London. He had such a great time on that shoot, that he invited me back today to photograph the whole investment team for their new website.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Thomas Sandell, founder and Chairman of Sandell Asset Management in New York City. My second assignment for UK’s Hedgefund Journal. Thomas was a great subject, and after we covered the bases for the assignment, he suggested we shoot a few portraits in the roof of the building. I’m always up for taking CEO’s out of their normal environment, and of course I love a good city roof top! 
From a recent kickboxing event I photographed for Jackhammer Productions. Sons Of Italy, Long Island NY. All images made with the Fuji X-Pro1, 35mm, and 18mm lenses. Edited with Adobe Lightroom 5 and VSCO Film.
