Videographer
It’s been a real journey working on video content as well as working as a full time photographer. It adds an element of story telling and narrative that I miss as a photographer sometimes.
Working on a new video for the alumni association at Iona University. It was a fairly involved setup for a speaking head video, but a second camera and backup audio feels like the best way to get the best final results.

I’ve been working on video for a few years now so it’s great to be working more on short video projects
As you may know, working as a videographer is relatively new for me, I’ve been creating video content for only the past 18 months for clients. Having the opportunity to shoot some latte art for Bluestone Lane was really a pleasure.

Here is a short video that shows some of the moments during an IPO at the New York Stock Exchange. I’ve been working on my video production and editing skills. The company hired me to shoot stills only, but with a crafty GoPro mount I could capture some of the moments on video. If you ever need a photographer of videographer for your IPO, opening bell or closing bell, please let me know. I’ve photographed about 1000 opening and closing bells over the years and probably a few hundred initial public offerings at the NYSE and at Nasdaq.
NYSE Photographer and Videographer. Video edited using Final Cut Pro and shot with a Gopro Hero 9 mounted on my Sony A1. Audio of the NYSE bell ringing from the GoPro.
I’ve been shooting videos for clients for a couple of years, but often I’m handing over the editing or not being completely involved in all aspects of production. This is my first full shoot and edit solo and I’m pretty happy with the result. Theres definitely more work to be done and more learning always, but thats the joy of learning new skills. With my drone footage and a couple of well placed mics, I think it all came together pretty well.
