Portraits at the NYC Transit Museum

If you’re trying to a make a movie, a television show, or a commercial in New York City with an MTA bus or Subway car, you’ll have to reach out to Ruthie. Ruthie is a SUNY Binghamton University alumni now in charge of MTA casting. Last Friday, I met Ruthie at the NYC Transit Museum in Brooklyn to capture headshots which will be used in an upcoming alumni magazine feature. In Ruthie’s photos I wanted to show off key elements of the NYC subway system (stations, trains, signage) alongside Ruthie’s confident personality.

Science Saturday STEM Learning

What separates my photography apart from the competition? My background in marketing and advertising. Not only do I know how to technically capture a beautiful and engaging photo, but I too know how capture photos that can actually be used in a clients marketing/advertising collateral; space for text, subjects that are divers and excited, and not too busy. Simply put, I know what images need to be captured.

Science Saturday at The Rockefeller University in Manhattan, NY brought real scientists, experts in their respective fields, to engage with children and teach them bite size pieces of science that they could understand; physics, biology, anatomy, and more.

Brooklyn STEAM Center x WAYMO - Autonomous Vehicles in NYC

The Brooklyn STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) Center is New York City's first public school program to be co-located within a business environment. The center is nestled within the Brooklyn Navy Yard, a 1,000,000 square-foot property which provides students with access to over 400 businesses and a 300-acre industrial park as an additional feature of their learning environment. Scholars attend the STEAM center in a shared instructional model exposing them to all different types of businesses.

Today, WAYMO, Google’s self driving car division showed the students their self driving Jaguar SUV and explained how autonomous driving is being researched, engineered, and implemented in the real world. The students asked great questions about the technology behind the car to different potential benefits of autonomous vehicles vs self driven cars. Considering many New Yorkers do not own a car, let alone have their driver's license the students asked great questions.

Photographing School Education Photos

Whether you are launching a rebranding effort, designing marketing materials, highlighting a program, or beginning a national ad campaign, I can help you take your imagery to the next level with world-class photography. It’s easy to photograph students with blank stares of boredom on their faces. It’s another to capture photos of students engaged, actively learning, and excited. Waiting for the perfect moment when student giggles, smirks, raises his or her hand, and speaks with emphasis is what I look for as a professional education photographer.

Jocelyn NYC Headshot - Binghamton University Alumni

A recent headshot session for longtime client Binghamton University of alumnus Jocelyn. The photos captured during this session will appear in the Fall 2021 issue of the university’s quarterly magazine.

After graduating Binghamton University in the Spring of 2020, Jocelyn enlisted in the Army. As a Long Island, NY resident and military personnel, Jocelyn was tasked with working at the Jacob Javitz Center on Manhattan’s West Side during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NYC Headshot Photography doesn’t have to be done on a plain background when your background is as great as NYC itself.

For this assignment, I wanted to highlight the location Jocelyn worked, New York, and her service. The school’s magazine sent me a brief bio about Jocelyn and high level overview of the written piece. As a headshot photographer, I like to incorporate elements of the written word in to my headshot photos. A plain white background although effective at times, can come off as sterile and uninviting.

Central Park Picnic - Kraft Center

There is no doubt about it that the post-COVID world is here. NYC is alive and Central Park, New York City’s backyard, is open for business. The Columbia-Barnard Hillel welcomed back current and former students with a Sunday brunch, setup by Perfect Picnic NYC, which was perfectly executed with blankets, lunch, pillows, and drinks. For some of the staff and guests they had not seen one another in 15 months.

Central park nyc event photography

Photographing a picnic in the park really made New York City feel alive once again. Guests were hugging one another, sitting closely together, laughing, and finally not wearing masks. I loved photographing open facial expressions, laughter, and all of the visual emotions that make a photograph memorable. As a NYC event photographer it felt great to openly be doing what I love doing, capturing great photos.
