Enigma Photoshoot

2009-03-22T12:27:00.011-04:00

Enigma photos are available for purchase! http://www.pictage.com/632668

Last night I had the opportunity to host a live photo shoot at Enigma Cafe in Norwalk, CT. My subjects consisted of a couple of models, and DJ's seeking portraits. My set up for these shoots was simple one Canon 580EX held high by my assistant Joe, and my Canon 5D and Canon 24-70 2.8L. It was a bit impromptu, but the results speak for themselves.

A note to the models/DJ's : Contact me for the other edits and usage rights.

I am also available for live show coverage, nightlife photography coverage and Portraiture.

Just a few shots from a great session with Kasia. Equipment used on this shoot was simple. Canon 20D, Canon 70-200 2.8L IS, window light for most shots.

Erin & Kasia :: Photoshoot

2009-03-14T14:57:00.009-04:00

So, I had this idea about shooting two models in a shoot that resembled childhood play, with an edgy, sexy feel to it. I wanted to shoot in a location that added to that feel... So I located a house that was perfect for the shoot, the only thing was that the house was fenced off and marked with a Notice to Demolish. I knew I had to act fast, so I contacted two models that I had worked with in the past, Kasia and Erin, two great girls, I explained my thoughts, and we went on to shoot. The girls squeezed through the fence, and about 15-20 minutes later we had the shots.
During this shoot I was limited as to what equipment could be used. I shot through the fence using my Canon 20D, Canon 70-200 2.8L IS, and a Canon 580EX on camera. Yet another successful shoot!

Kasia :: Photoshoot

2009-03-14T14:47:00.003-04:00

While organizing my files, I came across these photos. The model is Kasia, I shot her on-location in Stamford, CT using my Canon 20D, Canon 24-70 2.8L, 1 strobe with an XL softbox (key) and a strobe with a 30 degree grid as a kicker light all triggered by Pocket Wizards. It was a fun shoot, as usual!

Mike's "1.8 Nutting" :: Photoshoot

2009-03-12T21:59:00.012-04:00

I Had a chance to shoot Mike's "1.8 Nutting" this evening. It was a quick shoot. I shot the car with my Canon 5D and my 50 1.8 & 24-70 2.8L. I used 1 studio strobe and a 580EX for lighting and settings were in the 1/60 - 1/25 range, f4 - 2.8 at iso 250. All in all it was a good shoot, it was a bit rushed due to high winds, late start, night setting in earlier than anticipated, but some great shots were achieved and Mike was happy.

New Camera = New Found Love!

2008-06-13T10:34:00.005-04:00

While shooting with Canon's 20D & 30D for the past few years, which are both 1.6x crop sensor bodies, I always felt limited. In news, wedding and event photography the ability to have a wide frame of view is almost a must. I always felt that I was limited to an utra wide 12-24 lens when using the crop bodies in fear that I would be too close or have to shoot a scene or group that was in a sense too wide for my 24-70.
It was countless assignments that I felt the need for more that led me to purchase Canon's 5D. The 5D is a full frame camera, this means that the field of view of the sensor is equal to a 35mm camera and that a lenses marked range ( ie: 24-70 ) is truly 24mm - 70mm, not a cropped field of view like that of the 1.6, and 1.3 crop sensor cameras out there.
After using this camera for just 3 minutes, I fell in love. It has rekindled my love for using ultra-fast primes such as the 50mm 1.8, 85mm 1.2, etc... There is just something about shooting wide open with a prime lens. The second reason I purchased the 5D is its capability to shoot very clean, noise free photos at higher iso's, giving me the latitude in photographic style of shooting by available light more often than popping a flash on and creating my own light (though I love doing that as well, but now... I don't HAVE to).
Well, here is a shot I took with the 5D, 50mm 1.8 at iso 640. The only photoshop was a resize and slight level. Amazing!

Portia in the morning...

2008-05-28T10:51:00.003-04:00

So, I was in my office today placing my laptop in its case as I was preparing to leave for work, and out of the corner of my eye, I see Portia staring at me. I turn to look at her and there she is... in her typical morning glory. Portia gathers her toys and places them close to her bed, she also has cleverly pulled her bowls close to her bed, so now she can eat and drink while laying down... like the Romans... I think she needs someone to stay home with her so they can "fan" her or "feed her grapes". What a DIVA!

Anyway, as I stood there, with my camera bag at my feet... the 70-200 was screaming my name, so I grabbed a camera body, popped a card in, and a attached the 70-200 and got the shot...

At the end of April I was approached by The Hour Publishing Company to shoot the cover of a magazine highlighting the best lawyers in Fairfield County.
