My obsession with the Canon fisheye and the 85mm lenses
Honestly I'm not sure what photographer wouldn't be obsessed with the 85mm L series lense. It has a super sharp focus on the subject and melts the background into butter (assuming your aperture is wide open, of course).
The 85mm lense is amazing for portraits because you are still far enough fro[...]
Emma, the American bulldog next door
Dogs are definitely one of my passions. Not dogs that are dainty and pretty (although those will pass as well), but more dogs who are clumsy, maybe have a hard time keeping their tongues in their mouths, who will step on you (by accident and out of love) and crush your foot with their massive body [...]
Honey candles, red shoes, and warm November wind: the wedding ceremony of Lucy and Garry
Lucy is a salsa dancer who knows exactly how and when to throw her head back or lift a foot in the air.
I think the laughing and the closed eyes part comes naturally when Garry stands next to her. They are adorable together and they are also both extremely and genuinely nice people.
The day of [...]
The final product - a DVD with color corrected images
The DVD that I give to the newlyweds after all the work is done is not as easy to get to as one might think. It is often a curvy path with packed with decisions at every step of the way. Here is a typical process I follow to get to the finished product below, of which the DVD burning part is the e[...]
On a farm with my neice
This is a short photo-music clip that I feel may be the start of something new for me. I really connect to music in general and feel rhythm pretty well. To me the merging of visual and audio is very natural. This is a totally experimental piece that I put together very fast - it's totally a rough[...]
It's All About the Content
I once took a videography course where the teacher kept reiterating one point: it's all about the content. It's true in photography as well. No matter how beautiful the lighting, or how sharp the image, the photo is just not going to be interesting if the actual content is lacking. I often fall i[...]
Wedding of Frances and Bob (Hamptons)
At the end of this summer I shot the wedding of Fran and Bob in the Hamptons! Fran was one of those brides who looks gorgeous before or after makeup.
SPECIAL NOTE: This wedding was since then featured in the Hamptons issue of WellWed magazine!
Getting her hair done. And looking nonchalantly go[...]
Fashion Photography, Subdued
Whether shooting fashion, weddings, or portraits, the most important is that the facial expression and body positioning of the subject are convincing. In other words, the goal is to get the model to appear as close as possible to how they would in real life. This is why the first 30 minutes of the[...]
Wedding of Omri and Tsiporah
I had the fortune of photographing this wedding in Brookline, MA. I was really happy with how the photos came out, as the natural lighting was abundant and just right, at a few hours before sundown. It did not hurt that Tsiporah was a stunning bride.

Brazil
I was very curious to go to Brazil (this was in 2009), mostly because of the music which I happen to adore.
Feel free to browse some of my favorites below, or check out the entire Brazil gallery here!
