It's been a nutty few weeks again, and I've finally come up for air (again!) I'm booked solid through June, too - I don't even think there's a single weekend day where something isn't inked in. Exciting stuff, though, so stay posted!

I'll kick off this post with a portrait of actor and director Mary Stuart Masterson, who we photographed using a modified fashion lighting setup one evening a few weeks ago. Mary was wonderful and patient as she posed, as we explained that the final image would be nothing crazy, but rather straightforward and flattering. Hope you agree!

I also spent an evening making formal portraits for the gang at Long Island News Tonight. As seen with anchor Ken Eckhardt here, my approach is aways to take the lighting and subsequent portrait a little up the evolutionary ladder than what I all too often see with competitors. Nothing makes me cringe more than hearing a client - or potential client - refer to their previous "mug shots" or DMV-style publicity shots. If you can take the time to deliver a product with more attention to flattering your subject than that, you'll always be able to eat, I feel.

Lastly, our work in lights in Times Square! Beth Ostrosky and her bulldog Bianca were a few stories tall, thanking the folks who adopted pets from NSALA - and reminding folks to remember their moms - for Mother's Day. For this one, a picture tells a thousand words! That's the second time I've had an image in the Square, but the first time it was electronic and that large. Really fun stuff!
