Yesterday had the opportunity to shoot a Dillard’s in store display campaign for Vigoss Jeans. Worked with the lovely Michelle McHugh from APM Models. We shot in studio using a distressed club chair created by prop stylist Noah Sparke. Looking forward to sharing the final images!
Here is a behind the scenes image shot by my assistant. Always good to have a comfortable prop, my job gets tiring!
I am very pleased to share images from a fashion editorial I shot in New York City for the Paris based magazine Prestige International. The lovely model is Lexa from the agency Muse NYC. The fashion stylist was Aaron R. Tucker, make up by Aeriel D’Andrea using M.A.C., and hair by Arturo Swayze. We shot the job in the old Bisazza Showroom in Soho, NY. Recently the showroom relocated to an amazing space on W. 20th St. overlooking the Highline. I am very pleased with the images. I will share one today and will continue to post them over the next week.
Yesterday I had the pleasure to shoot for my client Vigoss, a women’s denim designer. We spent the day with APM New York beauties Michelle and Kayla photographing images for their e-commerce site and lifestyle images for their social media campaign. Here are some images of the girls straight out of camera… no retouching! Makeup and hair by Brian Dean.
It is exciting to see my fashion photography for lingerie designer Young and Ng featured in the UK magazine Beyond Beyond!

Don’t I have an adorable team!
In younger days I was quite passionate training in wrestling and karate. Part of the regime was running. I loved to ski as well. Almost 20 years ago I felt some stiffness in my hip. Thinking it was stubborn tendonitis I went to a doctor to have it checked out. Unfortunately the diagnosis was early onset of arthritis, which I have been living with since. I traded in the dojo for a swimming pool and the running shoes for a bicycle. For the past 3 years pilates has kept me in good shape. After a visit to my doctor in June, we decided it was time for a change, and scheduled replacement surgery for December 11, 2014. My work schedule slows down around the holidays. I let my clients know I would be out for 5 weeks and tried to schedule shoots the best I could. I lost a couple of jobs, but not too bad. I was dreading surgery up until I was sitting in the operating room, hooked up to an IV, and the anesthesia knocked me out. When I woke up in recovery I was very happy I had it done and looked forward to recuperating and a better quality of life.
It has been 5-1/2 weeks since surgery. I have been doing physical therapy every day trying my best to get back to work. Yesterday was my first shoot. I was nervous that I would start feeling sore and the joint would fatigue. I felt great! It was nice to get back into the studio. The job was demanding and I felt no pain or tightness. I am looking forward to full recovery and of course more work!
If you need a new hip, Dr. Roy Davidovitch is your man (NYU Hospital for Joint Disease). If you want to see an animated video of the procedure, check out this link. Pretty crazy.
Here is some behind the scenes from yesterday’s shoot for Alice and Trixie. Robin Buss of Muse NYC was our gorgeous model. The last photo of me on the ladder was taken by my assistant at the end of the day!
This year began on a very sad note. I lost my friend and gifted hair stylist Karen Bishop. Every time Karen walked into the studio the room would brighten up. I would play soul from the 70’s and the day flew by. Karen had a talent to bring out the inner beauty of everyone she encountered. She will be greatly missed by many people. Below are two images from the last shoot we did together with Jackie Sanchez (makeup). Models are Meron Mamo (Red NYC) and Dieynaba Diop (Adam Models).
I am very excited to have a fashion/beauty editorial I shot published in The View Magazine (click here, starting on page 30), and previewed in this post.
Model Elena Kantaria from Women Management New York is stunning! Shot in my NYC studio Elena is styled by Ursula Agurto, hair by Mako Iijima of Cocoro Salon, NYC, makeup by Chris Aria (visiting from Sydney), and manicurist Arielle Vilmont.
We had a wonderful time shooting the story. I love Elena’s expressiveness and the texture of the hair. Below are a couple of shots from the editorial, please see the magazine online to view the story in full!
I trust you had a wonderful 2014 and wishing you a 2015 full of joy and bling!
Looking forward to the publication of a fashion/beauty editorial I photographed for The View Magazine! Shot in my NYC studio with model Elena Kantaria of Women Model Management, styled by UMA , makeup by Chris Arai, hair by Mako Iijima and manicurist Arielle Vilmont.
I love being busy! Yesterday had an early start meeting my assistant at my studio to pick up gear, then head over to the client Vigoss Jeans‘ showroom to shoot for their website and social media campaign.
The showroom had an unobstructed, breathtaking view south. However I had the difficult task to keep my eyes on the beautiful Bruna Marx from FentonMoon. It was a very successful shoot with a fun team.
After wrapping up, getting my car from the garage in Times Square, loading up my gear, heading back to the studio, unloading my gear I started to make my way back to Brooklyn via the Manhattan Bridge. Usually I have a fairly easy drive home, but after all, this is NYC and sometimes traffic can be a nightmare.
Unfortunately this was the case. As I neared the bridge traffic stopped. I switched the radio from music to news to hear about the Eric Garner protest that snarled traffic in downtown Manhattan closing off downtown bridges and tunnels. I sympathize with the cause, am pleased that the protests were for the most part peaceful. After an hour of being at a standstill I headed north to Soho, stopped at my father’s apartment for a visit and Chinese food while waiting for traffic to ease up.
By the time I left the Manhattan Bridge was still closed so I planned an alternate route home. I arrived in time to catch the 11 pm news.
While stuck in traffic I had the chance to roll down my window and speak with other drivers (many cabbies). Everyone seemed ok with what was going on. No one was too irate or annoyed. Although far from perfect, we are blessed to live in a society where we have the right to assemble and openly air our grievances.
Here is a view from the showroom, a behind the scenes photo and a shot of Bruna.
