Weddings





We all shoot weddings, that goes without saying. professional or with a cell phone camera, we all shoot at weddings whether u like it or not. I myself do not mind shooting weddings at all, I approach it as I would any documentary project. Shoot tons, make sure u are using a camera that you are very comfortable with and the right lenses, because you will be adjusting your camera to get the right exposure on the fly and at greats speed so no time to sit and check the back of your camera.




There is one thing that I do love about shooting weddings though, the access. You get full access to the bride and groom the whole time I love that, makes me think of how it would be like to be a white house or embassy photographer, you know getting full access to VIP's and taking images that can end being historic one day so you have to make every frame count, love it!!!

Landscapes





I guess you cannot be a photographer in NY without taking some landscape images at one point in you stay here. The Brooklyn bridge, Times Square, Washington Square, soo many landmarks that you have seen since you were a in diapers even if you have never even been to NY. The first time I saw NYC was in a movie, now I live here.


Street Photography




New york is a wonderful city but you already knew that. There is something about walking up to a complete stranger in NYC, and asking them to pose for a photo that is such a rush.

Most people you ask are just more than happy to stop for you but there is a select few who act as if you are paparazzi. When I look to shoot someone on the street I look for certain character; I do not care if there fashionable or not just want there face for the most part, street portraits.

















Race Fun


Took these images a while back at Road Atlanta's Petite LeMans.I remember waking up very early in the morning to go meet my good friend so that we could make it to race day early in the morning. I never knew so many things that went into race day, the whole culture was very knew to me, but i feel it love with the atmosphere completely.


Very amazing day I hope to do it again one day.









Natural Light











Took this a while back for a store in coney Island. A pretty friend and I had a free day so we decide to head to the beach and see what happens.














I was using 5D Mark II, 24-105mm lens and the sun around 3pm. Love these, love the color.

Tattoo Part II



I had another Shoot with Alex, Owner of Planet Ink Tattoos. It was one of those regular Georgia days, meaning the weather report said it would be sunny but it ended up being an off and on rainy day, this shoot happened in about 12 minutes 15 minutes max, before the clouds opened up. I was shooting with my Canon 5D mark II with the 24-105mm lens, shooting at a focal length of 70mm.

Here is what came of it...

Around Atl





This was from a two day shoot, on different locations around Atlanta. Edited the pics the night of the last shoot, I think I am getting pretty good at it plus my pen-pad makes what used to take and hour take 15 minutes.

Here is what came of it. I had a great team for this shoot, def one for the books!
