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…

Peace on the Bridge
As I stated previously, the Williamsburg Bridge is uninspiring as you walk across. However, when you arrive in the middle everything changes. The graffiti art makes the trip worthwhile. Of course, when I got to this point, Brian was already shooting this exact scene. Then when Chris arrived, he shot it as well. I guess…
Shadow in Day(Light)
I really like this photo because of the harsh light and cool shadows of the fire escape. What makes it even cooler is that this was shot around noon and the sun was bright darn bright. How do you this? Expose for the overall scene and see what the meter says. Drop the ISO to…
It’s Paeday
Doors with graffiti covering them make fantastic subjects. When walking past this one in particular, I had the vision of gloomy nightmare style processing. For me this has the feeling of coming out of a zombie movie. Thanks for reading and happy shooting, Scott
From My Eye – Baby and Books
I do not photograph babies often, but when my brother and sister-in-law asked me to photograph my nephew, of course I said yes. My sister-in-law is a big reader and wanted to incorporate books into the photos. For this photo, I knew I didn’t need much for lighting or “the set”. We used a white…
Holden
This portrait of my nephew holden was taken not long after he was born. As a person without much baby experience, it’s been an exciting week and I look forward to spending even more time with him as he grows. It’s nice being an uncle and Melissa is a fantastic aunt. Thanks for reading and happy…
LinkedIn For Photographers
Not too long ago I received an email from PhotoShelter asking for my feedback on Photographers using LinkedIn. That interview was to be included in their Photographer’s Social Media Handbook. While I highly recommend downloading the free PDF from PhotoShelter, I wanted to share the conversation here on my blog. PhotoShelter did cut out some…
Like Clockwork
One thing I love about shooting sports is the variety of photos you can capture. This photo, for example, is one of the players of the Princeton Ultimate Frisbee team. He was on the sidelines at the time and I happened to be shooting behind him. When panning my camera I noticed this stance and…
Out For A Stroll
While walking the Williamsburg Bridge with Melissa, Chris, Brian and Nicole I was struggling to find inspiration due to the ugly fencing that surrounds the walkway. Yes I could have shot through the fencing but it’s not ideal. Instead I decided to get down low and off to the side as to capture the people…
