Portrait of Nina Beaty for Care Magazine

in

This week was assigned a portrait shoot for Care Magazine of Nina Beaty who is a Lung Cancer Survivor. Her story is really fascinating, starting with a family history that embedded with Broadway royalty, her grandfather was Richard Rodgers (of Rodgers and Hammerstein). After a chance encounter with a doctor who was treating her mother and a very luckily timed scan, she caught her cancer at just the right time to be detected and is doing great on a trial immunotherapy treatment.

Shot with the Fujifilm GFX 50S and 63mm F2.8 lens and lighting is sometime window light and sometime Profoto B2's.

Portrait of Geoffrey Zakarian for City Harvest

in ,

I'm so glad we rescheduled this shoot for after the snow storm that happened a couple of weeks ago. It was still freezing cold but the photos don't show that. Geoffrey Zakarian was super to work with and being able to photograph an Iron Chef and Food Network celebrity is like winning the Super Bowl for me.

Shot with a Canon 5D Mark IV and 24-70mm F2.8 lens. Light is a Profoto B2 with a large profoto deep umbrella.

Skip Lunch Fight Hunger with City Harvest at Citibank

May 9 – May 13, 2016
For one week in May thousands of New Yorkers will come together to
fight childhood hunger. Join us — participate in City Harvest’s annual
Skip Lunch Fight Hunger campaign!
 
Nearly 1 in 4 children in New York City don’t always know where their next meal will come from. And, when classrooms empty for the summer, access to free school meals may become limited, further straining families that are already struggling to put food on the table.
 
Be part of the solution — start a Skip Lunch Fight Hunger fundraising team at your office, or with friends. The cost of one $15 lunch can help feed 57 kids.
 
Last year, Skip Lunch Fight Hunger raised $1 million, enough to help feed thousands of children and their families all summer long! Help reach even more hungry New Yorkers this year.
