Typically, December through March are the slowest months. It's cold, budgets are being reworked, and holidays infringe on everyone's time to schedule. These past few months, though, I've been pretty crazy - anything BUT slow. Between advertising, word-of-mouth, and referrals I've been on more jobs lately than anytime I can remember. This is a good thing! I've usually posted images on this blog from just days past, but am now falling behind in keeping you updated with what's new. Sorry 'bout that!

This shot is of a particular charming and giving Doctor on the campus of NYIT Old Westbury, and the image may well be one of my favorites, ever. We were shooting editorial photos on the second-floor landing of a lecture hall, and the architecture was just perfect for building strong compositions with leading lines that woked well with human subjects (thanks to Diego, Photo Editor and location scout extrordinaire). When my subject walked out of the range of my main strobe to peer over the railing, instead of stopping and waiting for him to get back on his mark I kept shooting - a habit I'll now incorporate every time if not just for thoroughness. The backgroud strobe was strong enough to turn the opposite wall into a giant reflector, which gave the scene an almost eerie glow....and certainly a cinematic look.
