Band of Horses at the Capitol in Port Chester

I’ve been thinking lately about getting back into photographing more concerts. In the past, I had the opportunity to photograph music events for Getty Images, and those were some of my most exciting shoots. There’s something about the energy of a live performance that makes concert photography so unique. The challenge of capturing the intensity of the crowd, the raw emotion of the artist, and the drama of the stage lighting is something I really miss.

Having worked with Getty, I had the chance to cover a wide range of music events—from intimate gigs to massive festivals. Those experiences taught me how to work quickly in dynamic environments and how to use lighting, angles, and composition to tell the story of the performance. Concert photography is all about timing and creativity, and I’d love to dive back into it and capture more of those high-energy moments.

If you're looking for a photographer who knows how to capture the magic of live music, I’d love to collaborate. I’m excited about the idea of working with more artists, festivals, and venues to bring the energy of live performances to life through my lens.

From documenting the growth of sustainable farming practices to capturing the beauty of the land, it’s always inspiring to see how passionate individuals are making a difference in the food industry. Every photo tells a story of hard work, dedication, and the connection between people and the land. It’s been an honor to document their efforts and share their impact through my lens.

It brings together renowned chefs, farmers, and food enthusiasts to showcase the flavors and techniques that highlight the farm-to-table movement. The event typically features a multi-course dinner prepared by guest chefs using ingredients sourced directly from the farm and the surrounding Hudson Valley region.

Guests at the Spring Feast can expect an exquisite dining experience that emphasizes seasonal and sustainable cuisine. The menu often includes a variety of dishes that showcase the best produce, meats, and dairy products available during the springtime. The chefs work closely with the farmers and artisans associated with Stone Barns Center to create a menu that highlights the flavors of the season and supports the principles of sustainable agriculture.

In addition to the meal, the Spring Feast may also include educational components such as farm tours, workshops, and presentations that explore the importance of sustainable food systems and the work being done at Stone Barns Center.

Video Production at Iona University

Working on a new video for the alumni association at Iona University. It was a fairly involved setup for a speaking head video, but a second camera and backup audio feels like the best way to get the best final results.

Drone Photographer in Westchester, New York

As a certified drone pilot, I’m always looking for more ways to use my new Part 107 license. Documenting this new college campus for Iona is a great opportunity to fly my DJI Mavic Air 2s over the Bronxville campus in Westchester, New York. Drone Photography is just another great way to document new angles for clients and flying my drone brings me back to my childhood love of remote control cars.
