Magazine: Zink magazine, V magazine, Muse, GQ, Sports illustrated (swimsuit), Vogue........
Clothing Line: Dolce & Gabbana, Rock & Republic, Victoria Secret, Versace, Dior, Gucci, Zara, Converse......
Q: Do you only take photos of women and professional models?
A: No I shoot any one and every one willing to stand in front of my lens!
Q: Do you have a Studio and can you shoot out on location as well?
A: Yes, I have a humble studio with ample space, lights, different backgrounds, TV's and make-up and hair stations. And I can also shoot outside with lights and without the need of an outlet, so any where is possible!
Q: How long does it take you to edit photos? Do you have any Before and Afters?
A: I can hand in photos at your request (if you have a deadline or something) But it usually takes my about 1-2 weeks for about 10 photos, sometimes less it depends on my work load and the amount of elaborateness and detail needed! (I never like photos to look photoshoped!) And yes I do have printed before and afters I can show you in person, I dont ever post them online or hand them out because of client privacy!
Q: What exactly do you do on a photoshoot?
A: Well it all depends on what exactly you want...but typically we start the day with Make-up, Hair and wardrobe. Then we either move to my studio or go out to our outdoor location. We start shooting and that usually takes between 3-5 hours depending on your experience and having to move form location to location or setting up a scene. We shoot till we get the shots your happiest with and then we go over the photos, and end the day! It all usually takes about 6-8 hours. (But time flies by, you usually never feel it during a photo shoot)
Q: When will I be able to see my photos?
A: You can actually see the photos we take as we shoot them on a screen in my studio or on my laptop screen if we are outside! Then you get to go over each one in detail after the shoot.
Q: Do you save the photos I dont choose? (incase I want more later on)
A: Yes I save all my photoshoots, Just in case!
Q: Do you know any Make-up, Wardrobe, & Hair stylists for photoshoots?
A: Of course! I know a lot of talented people whom I have had the pleasure of working with.....And can always help you find the rite people for the type of photo-shoot your interested and thinking about!
And if you happen to be a MAU, Hair, or wardrobe stylist, and like my work send me an email I always love working with new people!
Q: What makes you different from any other photographer?
A: Im young and fresh I dont try and be superior to the people I work with and treat every one like an old friend, Im not in it for the Money! I like helping out the people who work with me in any possible way I can. I have the ability to not only to organize and set up a shoot but to direct and touch up the photos I take. I personally love to take edgy and creative photos, with a sort of fantasy and glam feeling to them.....But I can shoot anything! I never just hand you a CD with raw boring photos I try to make the photo the best they can possible be from beginning to end! I give you photos of yourself as you imagine yourself to be at that moment. (beautiful and one of a Kind!)
Q: Do you travel? Do you only shoot in Connecticut and NY?
A: I am always available for travel if needed! I shoot mostly in Connecticut and NY but I also travel often to Mexico (Puebla & Mexico City) to shoot there as well! Oh Canada Too! But like I said Im available and ready to fly any where im needed! ;-)
Q: What are your rates?
A: Send me an E-mail and I will send you my rates!
