Hamptons Real Estate Photography: Architectural Digest / Truman Capote Edition!! 16 Sep 2017, 1:20 pm

In the exciting and fast-paced world of real estate photography… … …there are times when one does get a chance to roam around and photograph a home with some history attached to it. This was the case a few years ago when I was hired to photograph Truman Capote’s former home in Sagaponack. It had undergone some fairly substantial renovations since the “In Cold Blood” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” author had resided there, but it was still a really groovy home. As often is the case with hyper-reproduced digital photography, some of my photos found their way into an Architectural Digest article about the residence. I’m sure the check got lost in the mail… in any event, if impressing your friends by telling them the same guy who photographed Truman Capote’s home also shot yours, then today is your lucky day! With one phone call or message through my contact form, you can have the perfect excuse to name-drop the legendary novelist and doppelganger of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Win.

Hamptons Fashion Catalog Lookbook Commercial Portrait Photography 21 Jun 2017, 5:07 pm

Hamptons Fashion Catalog Lookbook Commercial Portrait Photography… say that five times fast. I gave up at two. Anyhow, moving on… I recently shot the aforementioned (HFCLCPP) assignment for Kimberly Greene whose designs are available at Gloria Jewel on the East End and Manhattan. Eliza (as most models are) was a total trooper as she was dragged from Amagansett to Montauk in weather that was, let’s just say, less than balmy.

Hamptons Portrait Photography: The Art of the Analog (Film) Photo Session 21 Apr 2017, 5:06 pm

In a time where 1’s and 0’s are the norm (digital,) there is still something to be said (very loudly) for the texture, romance, mystique and quality that film affords. Millions of photosites on a digital sensor is an amazing advancement, but the way the emulsion on a piece of film responds to light and shadow still hasn’t be replicated. A film portrait session is something very different from what has become today’s typical photo session. Instead of a seemingly infinite number of frames, each roll on a medium format camera contains just 16 exposures. This translates to a slower pace and generally, a more calm, thoughtful session. Though the film is ultimately digitized with a high-resolution scanner, the texture of the film is maintained, and the quality of the larger format film and larger lenses translates extremely well. The final product, a piece of art. There’s a reason why all those “old photographs” look so cool… call or fill out the contact form today to book your session!!!

Spring is here, it’s official!! (Literally AND figuratively.)

Hamptons Photography: Polaroid in Montauk, Memory Motel 14 Aug 2016, 3:39 pm

Though carrying the torch for Polaroid has proven to be an expensive lesson in futility, the charm of the extremely lo-fi analog medium remains timeless. Long since expired, this vinyl of the photographic world regrettably failed to court a resurgent following. Still looks awesome though, and is only offered in an unprecedented limited edition of 1!

Hamptons Event Photography: Tucker Marder’s STAMPEDE! 26 Oct 2015, 4:52 pm

It was an eventful summer with the season being capped by an installation called “STAMPEDE!” by Tucker Marder. Working with the Parrish Art Museum and their seasonal Road Show, Tucker Marder designed and choreographed an installation which reflected his thoughts on regional land use and the historic duck farming trade. Stampede ran (pun intended) from August 15th through the 31st and given the duck’s free-spirited nature, no two performances were alike.

Hamptons Photographer: Edible East End 30 Sep 2015, 7:18 pm

The annual East End treat of dining at the Common Table capped the Summer of 2015. Eileen M. Duffy of Edible East End described it as, “one of the most pleasant evenings I had this summer.” Her article includes a recipe for Charred Summer Eggplant with Cippolini Onions and Kale Gremolata, one of the featured dished of the evening.
