One of the more unusual things we photograph are “proposals”. They’re odd because I feel a bit like a stalker. Think about it… if anyone actually watches us in the moments before someone’s proposal, we’d be accused of being creepers. I was asked to capture this proposal at a private home in PA. I hid behind a tree for what seemed like forever in 30° and staked out the joint:-). All I asked him to do was bring her out to a spot where I could photograph them into the light. It happens fast, especially in 30°! I chose my Nikon Z 6III combined with the NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8S to keep my distance for the first few moments. On the other shoulder, I had another Z 6III with my NIKKOR 85mm f/1.2S. She was truly surprised, and I like this sequence of frames.

I’ve been at this photography thing for a really long time. I’m grateful, to be sure. I’m often asked what my favorite things to photograph are. My client work has been really rewarding, but then there are those times when slowing down to look at the world and capturing landscapes made me appreciate just how lucky I’ve been to make a living like this. I haven’t been prolific in cultivating my personal work. I’ve also rarely shared any. I hope to change that. Here’s one from Monument Valley that I was motivated to share after seeing my buddy, post a few from his most recent trip out west. Wanna see some killer stuff? Take a look at his work. Prolific doesn’t begin to tell his tale.

Is there anything better than late afternoon light in the fall? Ok, maybe early morning, but that’s a hard pass, for me. In this image, I used the sun to balance out the composition with my couple. I made sure that there was a dark area behind the sliver of light behind the subjects- otherwise- we couldn’t see the highlight. I captured this image using only the sun, and my lens was wide open at f/1.2. I needed a shutter speed of 1/20,000 to obtain a proper exposure, and I could barely see due to being blinded by that fireball in my frame. Fortunately, the Nikon Z 8 and the NIKKOR 85mm f/1.2 basically focused for me.

Sometimes, an engagement session is more than just a portrait session. Jake and Christianna spend much of their time involved with endurance car racing. It wasn’t another session in the park. When they told me what they do, I didn’t fully understand until I met them at their garage. It’s the real deal. Yep. They race, and their team won first overall in their class for this race series. I spent a bit of time with them and tried to stay out of the way. It’s such a fascinating sport. Here’s a few images before the race began.

Sneak peak of some of our beautiful wedding pics that took. New vlog coming today
One of the rewards of longevity in a career is experiencing “full circle” moments. I met Shelly many years ago when she did all of the make up art for Kelby Training(educational videos for photographers). I did a slew of videos for them, and we developed a great rapport. She told me that if she ever got married again, I’d be her photographer. Well, about 15 years later, she and her fantastic groom, Marco, brought me back down to Florida to to capture their day. Thank you, both, for helping me make some beautiful images for you. Here are a few portraits from their day. I’ll follow up with more, soon.

The 1st image was available light, the 2nd was flash with HSS 1/8000 f/1.2, and the 3rd was continuous light for fill.

Same families, more milestones.
Years after photographing their wedding, I had the privilege of documenting their son’s mitzvah last weekend in Hoboken.

Their city was an important background element, so we created a few portraits along the waterfront to supplement the synagogue portraits as well as the party.
All images created with either the Nikon Z 8 or Nikon Z 6III with NIKKOR Z lenses. I used an off camera flash to provide texture, dimension, and mood by integrating and and balancing the exposure of each environment.

When someone close enough to be your brother asks you to capture his daughter's wedding, one doesn't take the honor lightly, especially in this particular case. I'll spare specifics, but I'll share a few images from this beautiful wedding.

Out of the 1400 or so weddings I've photographed, is simply one of the most stunning venues I've ever seen. It's a home run, providing topographical landscapes with delicious, directional light combined with a reception area that pays attention to every minute detail- allowing a documentarian to work in a warm, uncluttered, rustic environment without cheesy, distracting nonsense wherever the camera is pointed. It's a compositional Xanadu, and I hope to return there asap.

Here's a few from Christina and Matt's day.

I couldn’t help but share this image of this incredibly cute baby I photographed last week. I do a fair amount of family photography. Each time I do, my respect for children’s/family portrait photographers increases exponentially. It’s hard work. We’re at the mercy of the kid’s mood and temperament. Fortunately, for me, this baby just handed me picture after picture. I think she watches Seinfeld and she’s giving me “the Costanza” pose.

On the technical side, photographing this genre has never been easier. The Z 8’s eye AF just follows the eye, and all I need to do is wait for an expression after finding some good light and a nice compositional area. A shallow depth of field handed to me by the NIKKOR 85mm f/1.2 throws the background out of focus, and voila… separation. It’s almost cheating.

Here’s two of my favorite portraits from Stephanie and Dan’s wedding a few weeks back. One of the most frequent questions I’ve been asked during workshops is “how do you expose for people of color?”. Generally, I’ll ask the attendees for some suggestions. I’ll hear answers like “you need to overexpose a bit”, or “you have to use flash”, or “open up a stop”. The short answer is simple “expose properly”. Exposure is exposure is exposure.

There’s no need to “overexpose” for a darker complected individual just like it’s not necessary to “underexpose” a person who is lighter complected. The key is to focus on highlights and shadows. In Dan’s portrait, I used natural light coming from the right, and a little kicker of continuous light(my Stella) from the left to give Dan some separation. Stephanie’s veil provided some texture and dimension, so I didn’t use anything other than natural light from the left. If I’d used a light meter, I’d have used that exposure value regardless of the subject’s skin tone. It’s all about the shadow-highlight relationship. That said, the electronic viewfinder in my Nikon Z 8 is quite reliable. What I saw is what I captured.
