It started as a simple idea.  I shoot with the Sony a7RII and Profoto had finally come out with their Sony adapter to control their lights.  I purchased a set of Profoto B1s a week after the adapter was officially out.  The plan, I told myself, was to just do a quick test shoot so I could see what these…

I love doing lifestyle shoots.  It’s fun being creative, working with amazing and gorgeous models in fancy and beautiful locations, and imagining a story line along with them. Resident Magazine requested me to shoot an 8 page spread at a 1 of a kind estate in Sands Point, NY.  This $11 million property has so many locations for shooting, I knew we…

Every month or so, I get a call from Resident Magazine about an amazing photo shoot that I jump and say yes to, before they are even done with the proposition. This is one of them. The setup was perfect.  We would be shooting aboard a 93′ yacht.  There would be 3 female models and 1 male model.  We had…

One of the amazing modeling agencies I work with here in Manhattan, is the prestigious APM Models.  I called them the other week wanting to test high speed sync (HSS) on my new Phottix Indra 500 lights.  For those of you that don’t know, this is a way that lets my camera shoot faster than 1/200th of a second using…
