Portraits of Suraj Patel
Anybody who knows me knows I don't like getting political. In mixed company, no good can come of it. I keep the discussion on my shoots to general subjects, and questions for my subjects which are relevant to their life. I think basic human decency overrides anything a pundit or politician could every say. But I do love photographing politicians.

City Hall Couple Elopes From London
Dave and Lucy met because they both play in the same classical orchestra in London. The sparks flew like notes from a score, and well, here we are. A loving and romantic winter elopement of two beautiful people on a very special day. When I asked her why New York, Lucy just quietly, and matter of factly responded "I just love it."

A Husky and a Baby
I had no idea when I went to my dear friends Chris and Paige's house to meet baby Rowan and shoot their tree that it would be Zuko's last photoshoot. He was listless and not his usual self, but little did I know that the pictures I'd take that day would be the last photoshoot Zuko would have as the family dog.

The Moon-Lunar Photography
The moon is always there. So today I am sharing some of my summer film photography of the moon.

Pictures of Patrick Adams
Pictures of Patrick Adams (not in a Suit). Today, I had a blast because I spent time shooting portraits of one excellent dude. His name is Patrick Adams and he just finished a run on Broadway in a play called Take Me Out at the Hayes Theatre.

NY Athletic Club Wedding
A New York Athletic Club wedding is so cool. Since Courtney's family are lifelong members of the NY Athletic Club, it was the natural place for she and Steve to tie the knot. Both of these film professionals met at work (set up by Steve's boss) and it was a bold statement for them not to have a cinematographer covering the event, so it made the photography all that more important.

A Model Wedding
Top Model Laura met Pete on a transcontinental flight from Burbank to New York. He was instantly smitten. In true jet setting fashion, on their wedding day, they landed at a city loft in the shadow of the Empire State Building.

How to Photograph a Baby Right
If I could shoot a fresh, new, baby every day I would. And always on a very fuzzy sheepskin. I love babies, but I admittedly don't know much about them beyond the basics. What I do know, though, is when you plop one down on a soft fuzzy, they immediately relax.
