A few months back I spent some time with New Jersey Craft Beer at Carton Brewing in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. During the time, I walked around the brewery photographing everything that I could. One of my favorite things at the brewery, also happened to be one of the simplest things. The upstairs bar is [...]
Yesterday I shared a photo of the famous Asbury Park Casino sign. I also mentioned that today I would be sharing a photo from the other side of the building, which was built in the 1920s. So here it is… Now that you’ve seen both sides of the building, which is your favorite? Thanks for [...]
Attached to the Carousel House in Asbury Park is the old Casino. During the Asbury Park photowalk, we gathered at this location for the initial meet and greet and group photo. The sign and building has seen better days, but tearing it down would be horrible for the history of the town. Can’t blame the [...]
I am not a sports fan in any way. One of the things I dislike about sports is the fighting and politic-esq attitudes found in so many professional sports.

Quick story of the family portrait session… We pulled up to Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. It was just before sunset and we had about an hour to get in some portraits before the sun went down. This was one of the first shots from the session. I noticed the angle and [...]
This was one of the photographs from a recent family portrait shoot. The same one where I asked if I could remove the baby from a specific photograph. This shot happens to be one of my favorites from the day. It’s a simple shot that tells a story. Thanks for reading and happy shooting, Scott [...]

There are a few things to keep in mind when shooting with a neutral density filter. They’re expensive so be careful You can’t see through [...]
When I noticed this scene I knew the exact angle and spot I wanted to photograph it from. Having the guard’s stand slightly off centered really frames this shot right. Here is where the trick comes in though. Remember when I mentioned removing the baby from a family portrait and the conflict it created for [...]
Another photo from the Asbury Park Photowalk. This scene caught my eye because of the tire tracks pointing to multiple directions. The photo contains leading lines, horizons and a nice warming black & white fine art tone. Thanks for reading and happy shooting, Scott
This photo turned out to be a conflict for me. During a recent family portrait sessions, I asked the couple to set up in these spots, but with their 18-month old near the middle tree. Unfortunately it didn’t work out well as the baby noticed something on the ground. While processing the photos for the [...]
