Autumn in the Big Apple

As autumn blankets New York City in a tapestry of vibrant foliage, the iconic landmarks take on a rustic charm that's truly enchanting. The golden hour glow bathes the city in a warm, inviting light, and the streets are adorned with falling leaves, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for sipping on pumpkin spice delights.

Bridgescapes

I love bridges. These artistic and engineering marvels amaze me, so it's no wonder I spend so much time working around them. These "bridgescapes", as I like to call them, are some of my favorite structures in New York City. 

Chasing The Moon

It typically takes me about a year to create a photo series based around the moon. Everything has to line up perfectly: the correct part of the lunar cycle, the weather conditions, and the right location. It's a lot of work, but worth it in the end. 

Night Cityscape Vol. 4

My ongoing love affair with photographing the city at night continues. These are some of my favorite recent shots, particularly with the cloud cover and variety of dazzling lights on the skyline.

Golden hour in NYC

In city photography, the "Golden Hour" isn't always golden. The skyline of buildings often reflects too much light, blowing out an image or simply making everything look bronze. But when you get it just right, it's still magic. This collection offers a little bit of everything New York has to offer visually as the sun goes down.

City Characters

With the right light (and A LOT of patience) you can capture images on the street that look like they were staged in a studio. I like giving an abstract, stylized feel to people existing in an otherwise mundane urban setting. Each image is a mystery meant to spark the imagination, inviting you to create the story of the anonymous figures passing through the frame.

Strawberry Milkshake (Cityscapes at Dawn)

It's an odd title, I know- but the pinkish hue of the clouds and fog on overcast mornings reminds me of a strawberry milkshake! I love that the colors at this time of day are subtle but still so punchy and bold in the context of the image. The tints of the sky in mornings and evenings are so unique they're unmistakable.

Foggy Mornings in The City

I absolutely love shooting on foggy, overcast days. Mist and low clouds make the colors of a subject pop, providing naturally heightened contrast. And if I’m really lucky, a little sunlight pierces the gloom to bathe New York in gold.

Autumn from the Air

The colors of autumn bursting from the forests of upstate New York are impressive from the ground. I was curious to see them from the air and had a great time playing with the drone to get these shots. The compositions are alright- but I'm looking forward to exploring more next year and experimenting further.

Hazy Sun in The City

Wildfires covered the West Coast in September 2020. There was so much smoke in the sky that it got to the East Coast. I Have captured some photos with the sun in the frame, really rear for me but the sun looks insane.

City Shadows (New York,USA)

After Sunrise or just before sunset when the sun is not too far from horizon, the city creates some interesting shadows.

I Like to use a telephoto lens but any focal lengths would work, just need to find your composition. It is all about balancing light and dark tones in your image.
