I’ve been creating HDR images when the subject makes sense for it and churches, synagogues and other houses of worship tend to be ideal for this type of photography. I’ll be adding more to this post as I shoot them.
I shot this Bat Mitzvah in December. Great family from the West Side at Congregation Rodeph Sholom. The party was at Scaletta and everyone was dancing up a storm.
These images were shot on Christmas Day and the following days after. A family “tradition” on Christmas Day is to wake up early and walk down to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and view the dept. store windows with their Christmas displays along the way. Then after walking back uptown, we go to our [...]
I shot this Bat Mitzvah party for a client’s sister. My original client lives in Riverdale, NY; her sister and family live in Israel. About two years ago I photographed the Riverdale family in both a portrait session and Bat Mitzvah party photos for her daughter. In August her sister’s family flew in from Israel [...]
On Saturday, October 13, 2012 nearly 32,000 photographers gathered in over 1,300 cities worldwide for the 5th annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk. Photographers of all levels went out on photowalks in various cities looking for interesting images to capture with their cameras, iPhones or other smartphones. Here in NYC, I joined about 50 photographers on [...]
While Robert DiNiro wasn’t there, the Crowe Bat Mitzvah party, with Jerry Laskin DJ’ing, was a rocking good time. This group of kids can really dance! Here’s a slideshow of the event.
You know that summer is here in NYC when Manhattan empties out on Friday evening with the rush of people to the Hamptons and the Jersey Shore–and The Coney Island Mermaid Parade swims down Surf Avenue in–where else?–Coney Island. This year The Coney Island Mermaid Parade celebrated its 30th anniversary on June 23. Part art [...]
It’s graduation season, and on May 5, I photographed The King’s College Commencement ceremony, which took place at the beautiful Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in Manhattan. The King’s College is a Christian liberal arts school, which will be moving from its current location at The Empire State Building into a new campus in the Financial District [...]
The weather cleared up today for Space Shuttle Enterprise’s flight to NYC and its eventual destination at The Intrepid Museum. It was a picture-perfect flight with shuttle piggy-backing for the ride on top of a modified 747. While The Enterprise was actually the test vehicle for the shuttle program and never went into space, NYC [...]
The Tartan Day Parade in NYC is always colorful and fun to watch. There’s a relatively low-key crowd and bagpipe music to listen to and enjoy on a beautiful day. Because of its relatively smaller size compared to other parades, it’s also easier find good spots for photographing the parade. One tradition found at this [...]
The Easter Parade on NYC’s Fifth Avenue offers great photographic opportunities. From stylish bonnets to homemade chapeaus, to some over-the-top get-ups there’s a lot of great images to capture. Actually, it’s not so much of a parade as it’s more of a free-for-all promenade between 49th and 57th Streets on Fifth Ave. Here are several [...]
The Water Club, with panoramic views along Manhattan’s East River, is a great place to host an event. I shot the Adelman Bat Mitzvah reception with Jerry Laskin DJ’ing. Here are some shots of the event:
