With the busy engagement season upon us and brides starting their search for that one and only, THE photographer I get asked sometimes during consultations: “what questions should I really be asking?”. The demand for bridal guides and advices from pros seems to be higher the closer we get to Holiday season. I don’t just [...]
A ways back I covered a wedding of one of the leads from “The Phantom of The Opera.” The newly married couple had a small intimate wedding. Their wedding reception was held at the Westbury Manor on Long Island, NY. At the reception places were set for 40 guests, with the music being provided by [...]
David’s earlier post about “how come you don’t call yourself a photojournalist” is great! I am similar in I don’t consider myself a pure photojournalist photographer, but I find it amusing that some photographers I have met over time DO call them photojournalists yet they do more posing then me. So getting ready, ceremony and [...]
“Wedding Photojournalist – what does that really mean?” asked one of my clients during a recent consultation “I see that on many wedding photographers’ websites but not on yours, why?”. I answered “because I am not a PURE photojournalist. My style has a few different elements in it, I wouldn’t be very accurate if I said [...]

If you’ve heard me speak at a seminar or meeting you may have heard me use the expression “own the image”. I use it when I stress to photographers that in order to excell at their craft they must learn and practice until they truly do “own the image”.
I first heard it used in the [...]

Roisin ban, Roisin ban!
Fair my bud as the moring’s dawn.
I kissed my beautiful flower to bloom,
My heart grew glad for its rich perfume-
Little white rose that I loved.
Little white rose that I loved grew red,
Roisin rua, Roisin rua!
Passionate tears I wept for you.
Love is more [...]
Where have the days gone where it was a real struggle to get a low light shot ? In film days photographers who used ISO3200 film would be called crazy by some… because the final prints would be so grainy. You either loved that grain or you didn’t. Even in “early” digital years (2001/2002 when [...]
Inevitably, there will be a last dance at every wedding reception. I will be there for this last dance at every wedding I photograph. For me, it is a perfect ending for how I cover weddings, to tell a story of your wedding day from beginning to end. Now, how the last dance is done varies from [...]
One of my small pleasures in life is my, all too often brief, perusal of the New York Times with my morning coffee. Despite the daily gloom and doom, there are usually some outstanding examples of great photography from all over the world to be found within its pages. I especially enjoy many of the [...]
