It's been a great few weeks for my portrait and headshot business. We've been booked by some great clients and found a few new ones too. We're always looking for new and fun projects to work on, so please don't hesitate to reach out and ask for availability. We have plenty of open dates in the fall.

I spent the day yesterday at the Fox Upfronts Party shooting portraits of all of their TV and Sports celebrities. Here are some of my favorites, selected from nearly 800 photos I will be delivering the client. I think I photographed about 80 celebrities yesterday afternoon.

All photos taken with the Fujifilm GFX 50S with 32mm-64mm F4 lens

Malala Yousafzai

in ,

I would say that generally my policy was to politely refuse a "celebrity" photo opportunity. Then years ago Bill Clinton asked if I wanted a photo and I politely declined and immediately felt like a rude idiot. How could I refuse the opportunity with Malala Yousafzai. I hope my daughter has even an ounce of her drive

““My great hope is that this will be the last time we must fight for the education of our children. Let us solve this once and for all.””

Portrait of Nina Beaty for Care Magazine

in

This week was assigned a portrait shoot for Care Magazine of Nina Beaty who is a Lung Cancer Survivor. Her story is really fascinating, starting with a family history that embedded with Broadway royalty, her grandfather was Richard Rodgers (of Rodgers and Hammerstein). After a chance encounter with a doctor who was treating her mother and a very luckily timed scan, she caught her cancer at just the right time to be detected and is doing great on a trial immunotherapy treatment.

Shot with the Fujifilm GFX 50S and 63mm F2.8 lens and lighting is sometime window light and sometime Profoto B2's.

Portrait of Geoffrey Zakarian for City Harvest

in ,

I'm so glad we rescheduled this shoot for after the snow storm that happened a couple of weeks ago. It was still freezing cold but the photos don't show that. Geoffrey Zakarian was super to work with and being able to photograph an Iron Chef and Food Network celebrity is like winning the Super Bowl for me.

Shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV and 24-70mm F2.8 lens. Light is a Profoto B2 with a large profoto deep umbrella.
