Exploring the vibrant cityscape of Tampa, Florida, under the cloak of night reveals a mesmerizing tapestry of lights and shadows. As dawn breaks, the skyline transforms into a breathtaking canvas, painted with the hues of sunrise, casting an ethereal glow across the horizon. Through the lens of my drone and camera, I captured the city awakening from its slumber, shrouded in a mystical veil of morning fog, unveiling a side of Tampa that's both enchanting and awe-inspiring."
Embarking on a photographic exploration of Chicago, my camera captured the city's pulsating energy at night, with long-exposure shots of the mesmerizing skyline and the rhythmic trails of highway lights. The dance of train lights against the iconic backdrop added an urban poetry to the nocturnal scene. In the daylight, I framed the lifting bridges and the Bean, immortalizing Chicago's architectural prowess and unique landmarks. Join me in savoring these key moments that showcase the diverse beauty of the Windy City, from the tranquility of dawn to the electric vibrancy of its night.
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.
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.
My latest night compositions came out nicely.Getting more and more in to night photography by trying different exposures, filters, and lenses. This is definitely not the last series in this category.

One of my favorite stories including fog is about the Manhattan Bridge. The beauty of the bridge combines with morning fog creates a strong story about this piece of architecture and giving it Gotham feel.
When shooting during fog conditions use a polarizer to be able to cut through the fog just a bit. I also used a 3 stop nd filter to smoothen the water.
