I haven’t looked very hard at the photos I took from yesterday’s shoot which I blogged about in this post… but my client has!
She just send me this stunner of model Irina Kondrateva of Q Models NYC. Needless to say she is quite pleased with our results!
For years I have wanted to work with Irina Kondrateva of Q Models. Go figure this is the second time shooting her in 3 weeks. She is as sweet as she is beautiful. We photographed a lingerie catalog today with a wonderful, talented team – Alexandra Fongaro hair and Lilly Jean makeup that made the day a breeze.
Here are a couple of behind the scenes photos and some images of the looks that we shot. Please note these images are not retouched and are straight out of the camera… just cropped and resized.
I photographed a fashion editorial for Bambi Magazine (NSFW) with Alyona Shishmareva. I recently looked at her online portfolio on her New York agency website Q Models NYC.
I was very pleased to see some of the images we shot in her book.

I received a request from my client Member’s Only to shoot a half day of fashion lifestyle, mostly for social media campaigns. Very loose, no big deal.
The client wanted to shoot in studio. Since there was no product, lookbook, line sheet or e-commerce images to photograph, I suggested we meet at my house and shoot on the street. They were very excited by the idea. I knew they would get a wider variety of images plus it is always nice to get out of the studio. Also October daylight is magnificent. The sun is low in the sky and has a very warm effect.

The team met at my house in the early afternoon. My 2 year old female vizsla Hoshi greeted everyone in her typical way, with a few minutes of suspicious barking. When she warms up, she is then quite affectionate.
We quickly started shooting on the stoop of my Park Slope brownstone. We started with no props, then added Hoshi and a Tecate. Tyler took to both props very nicely. We migrated two blocks away to Prospect Park, shot a couple of looks there. Then we jumped in my car and headed to Red Hook, an area that I love shooting in. It has a very cool, barren, industrial feel, even post Fairway and Ikea gentrification.
We had a fun day outside! Tyler is great. The client is thrilled. and now for some pictures (straight out of camera, no retouching). I look forward to seeing their selects used in their social media!
Want to share a new fashion editorial published in the latest issue of Bambi Magazine.
Please note the magazine and the fashion editorial are both NSFW. They both feature nudity. Below are some of the photos from the editorial and you can view the entire story by clicking HERE and scrolling through.
I love the quality of work they publish and very proud to have my photography included.
The story was shot in my New York studio featuring Alyona Shishmareva from Q Model Management NYC. My collaborators are stylist Ikponmwosa Edorisiagbon, makeup artist Wendi Miyaki and hair stylist Elin Nyberg.
I recently shot a lookbook for Brasilian born, New York based fashion designer Thais Lima. The concept was loose and edgy, just shoot the model against the wall of my Manhattan studio a few props like a ladder, box, stool, etc. The model was the lovely Karolina Nevia from Q Model Management, NYC. Karolina was actually a last minute replacement for another model who arrived with the flu. Everything happens for a reason… Karolina was amazing. She understood the concept and the clothing and was perfect face for the collection. Tiffany Oliver (hair and makeup) from Wilhelmina Artist Management had the easy task of making the beautiful Karolina look beautiful.
Below are some photos from the shoot, behind the scenes pic as well.
I am excited about the redesign of my website. The big change is adding a Men’s Fashion section. I enjoy photographing guys fashion. Definitely a different vibe on set. Less time doing hair and makeup (usually) and more talk about last week’s game! Check out the website and new section, let me know what you think!

I was hired to shoot for a new e-commerce retail start-up. A long, busy day shooting a lot of looks which was kept light and fun by an outstanding crew; of course beautiful models and great clothing help lift the spirits as well!
Although the pace of the shoot was quite fast I always make sure the photos are beautiful and that we capture moments that reflect the spirit of the day!
Thanks to Major Models for sending us two beauties: Nejilka Arias and Veronica Montano (winner of Top Latina Model!). The lovely Veronika Robova did hair and makeup. Special props for stylist Luna Andrews who kept the shoot moving!
Some photos from yesterday… out of camera, not retouched.
New York Bridal Market Week just ended. I was fortunate to be hired by the talented Edgardo Bonilla to photograph his collection at the London New York Hotel in Midtown. Traffic getting there was a killer, but after that the shoot went seamlessly. Edgardo’s designs are spectacular. He uses exquisite fabrics combining texture, volume and draping creating stunning gowns. I am a lucky man. I was able to walk the beautiful Kate Wolf down the aisle. Granted, I was a bit underdressed but I only expected to be the photographer!

I love shooting for Member’s Only, the iconic outerwear brand from my youth. I remember the cool kids rocking their nylon jackets while I was still wearing the Mighty Mac which would be handed down to my brother when I outgrew it.
The current incarnation is quickly becoming an important lifestyle brand successfully merging retro cool and current hip.
A couple of photos from the day…
Models Carly and Matt (Major Model Management) make my job so easy. Along with the classic jackets I get the iconic NYC water tanks.
