Late last year I worked with Veronica Montano from Major Model Management, New York (winner of Top Model Latina). After shooting the catalog she put on a few looks and we shot natural light in front of a studio window in order to make some image shots. The client was quite happy… and so was the agency. The photo is the lead image on her online portfolio and on the front of her comp card! Hair and makeup by the talented Veronika Robova.
I am pleased to share a recent interview with Production Paradise!

End of day behind the scenes photos of my models Michaela V and Oscar Correcher from model agency Red NYC giving our makeup artist Derek Medina some love! Love working and shooting on the weekend. Everyday is Saturday!
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!
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 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.
Today I had a half day job shooting an aspiring model.
My Manhattan studio is on West 20th St. My sister lives around the corner. This weekend my sister and her husband are out of town. My mom and step-father are watching my niece and nephew. Since it is a weekend and my shoot ended at noon, I decided to invite my mom to bring the kids in for an impromptu shoot and surprise my sister and brother-in-law with some fun photos of the kids.
My niece is a spitting image of my sister and my nephew is the total ham. Their parents are going to die when the see the photos! My only regret is that I forgot to shoot my mom with her grandkids! I guess that means another family session!
