Recently, a client asked me about my photography style. It's a question I get often, and honestly, I love talking about it. After spending years in the serenity of the darkroom, I've developed what I like to call a class film-noir look, documentary-style. It's about capturing those unscripted moments when people are just being themselves.

My approach is candid and editorial, creating elevated photographs that feel both timeless and artful. Whether it's a corporate event in Midtown or an intimate gathering in Brooklyn, I'm looking for those genuine moments - the real laugh between old friends, the quiet smile during a speech, the spontaneous dance moves when someone's favorite song comes on.

Where I Work

I primarily shoot in Manhattan and Brooklyn, but I can be available for events throughout NYC and the tri-state area. Each neighborhood brings its own character to the photos - from the sleek lines of Financial District venues to the raw charm of Bushwick lofts. It's about how the space tells part of your story.

Brooklyn

Beyond

Event Types & Timing

I specialize in high-end parties, corporate events, intimate gatherings, nightlife, and soirées of all sorts. For the best availability, I recommend booking 2-3 months in advance, especially for peak season events. But I understand life doesn't always work on a perfect timeline - if you're planning something last-minute, reach out anyway. I'll do my best to make it work.

The Process

For those who need quick turnaround (hello, social media!), I offer morning-after social media previews for immediate posting. The complete gallery typically follows within 1-3 weeks, depending on your selected package and coverage hours.

Carefully curated and edited collection that tells your event's complete story within 1-3 weeks

Each event is unique, and pricing is customized based on duration, location, and deliverables. I believe in being transparent about this - we'll discuss all the details upfront so there are no surprises.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, I'd love to discuss how we can capture your special moments.
