One of many random images that I take while walking in this amazing city.

Walking down 17th street I see an unusual sight. Heads on a stick, well on fence posts actually! Had to take the image.

One of the dancers waits to go on to stage at the NDI Gala in 2012.

On March 27th, I had to film a moonrise in NYC for a TV segment. Along with my daughter I walked to the East River, right underneath the bridges. Scary at first as construction is going on and it seem desolate. Within minutes joggers started to go by, and other people with the same idea of looking at the full moon started to appear. This shot was made with the Canon 5DMk III and a 100-400mm lens at 12800ISO with a focal length of 100mm. I did not do a long exposure to reduce grain as I took it in between video takes.

I had the pleasure of seeing one of NYC’s biggest and nicest smiles. An icon in photography and fashion who you can see taking pictures from Times Square to Union Square and anywhere his bicycle can take him. Bill Cunningham is here taking pictures at Santacon NYC.

Street photography is something that has always fascinated me but never really gone after it. Just the idea of capture, no creation involved. Walking with my daughter heading to buy a gift for a friend I see this guy drawing with markers on a guitar, from 10 feet away it looks like an amazing piece of art. But the art is not what is important here, the fact that this sweet guy who seems somewhat stoned, with this very heavy kind of hanging voice is creating art nevertheless. He sits there with his cup in front waiting for someone to give him a quarter or two, drawing away. While I looked through the camera I saw the scene as cinematic and totally in B&W in my head, but the color of the guitar was also important, so additional support images came in handy.

Everyday I walk by this church, is very small, and if you were to ask me if there is a church nearby I would never think of this one. I always take it for granted. But it’s funny that I have walked by and shot this 3 or 4 times. Once because the night sky lit it in an amazing way.

Photographing kids for me is second nature by now. Parents and some pros have asked me how do I do it, most tell me, “you must have a lot of patience”. Well I do and I don’t. The trick is incredibly simple, place the kid in his/her environment, let them have fun within the boundaries of what you need to shoot. In commercial work, have a great and very fast stylist working with you. Oh! and plenty of wardrobe to change into. Yes they eventually get messy, so stop and take a break while they change. In your personal life it gets a little more complicated but most times you don’t care if they got a little messy, it is the way they are. I actually have considered some messiness in commercial work, I like showing it like it really happens. But I do understand clients who want it all clean.
