This weekend my friend and colleague Mark of PhotoFXStudio and I photographed newlyweds Alina and Zhenya, a fun an exciting couple with a hilarious wedding party. Here’s a couple of lightly processed images from the event.
This Saturday I was hired by PhotoFXStudio to photographically document little Jonny’s first birthday in Brooklyn. Here’s a couple of pictures from that event. It was a fun party once the kid went to sleep.
I’ll be the first to admit that some people don’t look as flattering and beautiful as they’d like to be portrayed. Here are the 4 steps to pose your subject in a beneficial light ..
Step 1: Turn partially sideways to the camera, planting one foot in front of the other. Point your toe to the camera and place your weight on your back foot.
Step 2: Pull head forward slightly to minimize any appearance of a double chin.
Step 3: Hold arms slightly away from your body. This keeps upper arm flab from flattening out and therefore appearing flabbier (much like thighs do when one sits on a couch).
Step 4: Pull shoulders back, chest forward and gently suck stomach in.

Today, I had a chance to create a small series of environmental portraits during a martial arts class led by one of the most renown sensei that I know of (take it at face value). Below is a couple of pictures of his students, young and old(er)
Yours truly,
