Behind the Scenes on a video shoot in New York City

I’ve been working on small video projects for the New York Restoration Project this year. It’s been fun to learn some new skills and get the sound, lighting and editing part under control. Here you can see I’m using a Profoto light for a bit of fill on the subjects face, but also a profoto light and umbrella to keep my camera and interviewer dry. Sometimes you can’t decide which shoot day is best, and you’ve got to make the beat of a bad weather day.

New York Stock Exchange Video for Zeta Global IPO

in , ,

Here is a short video that shows some of the moments during an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. I’ve been working on my video production and editing skills. The company hired me to shoot stills only, but with a crafty GoPro mount I could capture some of the moments on video. If you ever need a photographer of videographer for your IPO, opening bell or closing bell, please let me know. I’ve photographed about 1000 opening and closing bells over the years and probably a few hundred initial public offerings at the NYSE and at Nasdaq.

Bluestone Lane Hudson Yards Cafe Photography

Bluestone Lane opens a new cafe in Hudson Yards, just a stones throw away from the Vessel and an incredible shopping center. Well worth the visit for a flat white and avocado smash.

Iona Graduation Photographer

in ,

It’s hard to say what my favorite thing to shoot is, but I do know this, I love having an assignment that has no preconceived parameters. “Just capture the emotion” is about all of the direction I got from Iona. So the ability to walk around and just shoot for fun, and get the feel of an event is always the best. I didn’t expect to see so many decorated graduation caps, but I loved capturing them in photos.
