OK, get ready because this is very cool. Recently I had the honor of shooting some action shots at the very amazing tennis school called ‘David Squad’ in Ra’anana Israel, close to Tel Aviv. David Squad is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to developing Israeli tennis players of the highest international standards. This happens to …
Alyia and Max have been together since age, like, 11. OK, maybe 16 or so, but it’s been a long time. Their wedding was very emotional with lots of tears. The venue was the amazing Kaaterskill Inn in Catskill NY and it suited them perfectly. (Super exciting for me because this was my second time …
MYTH: In order to get a great background in a photograph you need to be either in a fancy or shabby-chic apartment, or outside surrounded by exotic flowers and fields of daisies. FACT: You don’t. Actually all you need is the following: – great lighting (can be natural light) – including what you want IN …
I’ve been documenting Maria’s family for a number of years now. Here is family photography the way I like to see it. I like to convey the mood more anything. But I feel that the advantage of having a manual fast camera gives me the amazing opportunity of freezing a moment that happens naturally. The …
This wedding of Aimee and Danny was shot by one of my amazing photographers. I know the couple pretty well, and the groom’s family for a number of years. As I was processing the photos, I teared up not a few times. I think he did an amazing job, and I’ll just let the photos …
We decided to photograph Karin (whose just had her Batmitzvah) in Yaffo. The stone walls, the sea, and the exotic plants all contributed to some very fun backgrounds. Here is Karin sitting on the beach. I stood over her and opened my aperture to a 1.4 in this picture, focusing just on Karin’s amazing eyes …
As I prepare to shoot my first wedding in Israel, I have to share the engagement shoot of the lovely couple. Rinat and Uri love each other. They also love animals. And they have a lot of them. Let’s start with the birds that they are both holding at the entrance to their house. Feel …
As they say in Russia – someone must have died in the forest. Because something crazy has happened. But it’s true. My sister let me post a picture of herself on my blog. I wouldn’t dare make it the first one, but it is the third one, so scroll scroll. Incidentally, I’m also trying out …
A baby shoot.. that’s what. The shoot started at the couple’s home near For Tryon park, so it was easy to hop over to the luscious greenery. The photos pretty much speak for themselves, so enjoy : )
I have been literally dying to post this wedding. Finally, here it is. Meet the gorgeous couple. The bride is amidst her preparations in a hotel suite where her sisters, bridesmaids, and her future trying-not-to-cry future mother-in-law are also getting ready. Feel free to view my wedding gallery here. The shoe shot. I’m very excited …
I’m excited to introduce my premier engagement shoot in Tel Aviv of Lauren and Emil – two charming and intelligent people who booked me as their wedding photographer earlier this year. Oh, and the answer is simple: DON’T. Don’t shoot in bright sun… if you can avoid it. More about this later : ) Feel …
Sometimes my eye catches something and then next thing you know I have a friend forced into something (meaning a photoshoot) they didn’t intend on being in. Luckily, I have very willing friends who approach my photography with enthusiasm and don’t mind a large camera stuck in their faces. I’m actually not sure this was …
Ratika originally wanted me to do a photoshoot of her and her husband… just a love shoot. However, because of conflicting schedules, she then decided to do a shoot of just her. Here is Ratika standing in what looks to be wilderness but is actually Prospect Park. Fixing her dress. I love sneaky photojournalistic shots …
Meet Christina and her husband Charles. Christina is a huge photography enthusiast who turned to me in hopes of finding “their” photographer. She emailed me with the following: “My husband and I are obsessed with art and photos and we are looking for “our” photographer.” For this shot I wanted soft, fuzzy, sunny lighting so …
Weeee. Ryan spins Amy around in Central Park North near the fountain. Amy was relaxed during the engagement shoot, and pretty giggly. It was a HOT day. Love how Amy looks here, with my 85mm softening her already delicate features. There is something magical and mysterious about this photo to me… it kind of draws …
