Newborn Photography Session

This weekend I’ve been blessed to spend some time with a wonderful family in Queens. They had just welcomed a new member into this world several weeks ago - a beautiful young girl – and their close friend decided to hire me as their first birthday present. Here are some of the photographs we managed to take in the 2.5 hours of shooting.

Child Photography in Brooklyn

Last week I was hired to do 2 photo sessions in Brooklyn by a young family with fun and playful 1 year Nathan. We had a lot of fun shooting around the house and than we moved to a nearby park for outdoor coverage. The kid was a true model. I will be posting more pictures later this week.

Family Photo Session

This weekend I was fortunate to meet a young family in NJ that hired to me to photograph their 7 month old son. We had fun shooting at home for the first hour and then moved into a nearby park. We’ve gotten over 400 great photographs in 2 hours and I’ve made new friends in NJ :)

Baby Photography

Several weeks ago a young couple has hired me to photograph their 6 month old daughter. The session turned out to be fantastic. The child is a pure angel, the parents were well prepared and the final outcome was astonishing.

Child Photo Session

Today was a wonderful day. An established customer of mine had asked me to spend a day with his family to photograph his young boy playing in the park. They had fun, I had fun, overall, it was a great session.

New York Wedding

This weekend I had an opportunity to photograph a young black couple and their family with my friend Mark of PhotoFXStudio. The wedding was done in a Jamaican / Brooklyn tradition, lots of fun and great memories. Below is a sample of my work:

How to take great Wedding Pictures (Part 1)

About a month ago I was emailed by a photographer from Buffalo. She’s an armature photographer with a great potential. We have been sharing ideas and experiences, thoughts and concepts. As we’re going through this knowledge transfer process, we decided to start documenting this IP (Intellectual Property) to be shared with you – my dearest readers.

This will be the first of many posts to demonstrate minute aspects of photography that can greatly improve the overall quality of our work.

Note: Images used below are not to be reused or shared, they are the sole property of the photographer.

Part 1 – Perspective

There’s a lot to say about perspective but most importantly for us, photographers, is that depending on where you place your subjects, their apparent size changes.

The image below demonstrates this concept quite well. Object further away from the camera appear smaller (look at the windows towards the back of the hallway)

Perspectivephoto

The same principal applies to people. The image below could be made more appealing to the bride if she had been placed a couple of steps behind the groom. She would appear slimmer and smaller – something most brides desire.
