Richard Simmons

Sorry for such a long time without post but the quality and quantity of photo's I have taken has not been up to par.
Yesterday we went to a Walgreen's in Kirkwood to see the one and only Richard Simons! Despite a long wait and an asshole cop who harassed me for taking his picture it was a lot of fun.

Josh and I did this little thing. Sorry about the auto play, it's the way the Press likes it done.

Fifteen Minute Portraits Day Two

My best stuff from day two was when I worked with a model named Andre. He was very receptive to new ideas and would joke around while we were setting up the lights.

Fifteen Minute Portraits Day One

I just finished up a class at the International Center of Photography today called Fifteen Minute Portrait. The class actually took place at Splashlight which is a studio space on 35th street. The space was huge and the instructor David Turner was very informative and helpful. The things he had to say about the profession of photography were heart warming and motivated me to try harder. I took the class thinking it would be very focused on environmental portraits but it was more about quick lighting design for any type of portrait. It was lovely to play with huge lights and pliable models. So here are some shots from day one. All of these photos were taken with only one light, either a umbrellaed light from the side or a tremendous soft box.

Young Dancemakers Company

I shot some dance the other day at the Fieldston school. It went pretty well, here are some shots.
