Proscenium are one of my best clients, often flying to me beautiful cities to photograph large colorful meetings that they meticulously design, light, build and all the rest. When they hire me to come in for headshots in their New York City office I was delighted to create a lighting studio in their new office space. Take a look at the Profoto lighting setup below.

After many years working as the photographer at the New York Stock Exchange it is always a pleasure to return to NYSE and photograph an event for an old client. I was hoping to spend the morning on the trading floor photographing the actual IPO, but instead I got to spend the evening in the iconic board room covering the party and speeches of the CEO of Puxin. Being the New York Stock Exchange's official photographer was an honor for nearly 5 years, but work as an independent photography business has continued to prove a pleasure. My photography business hasn't changed since 2009 when I graduated from the Pratt Institute with a Masters of Fine Art, but it continues to evolve with different clients being a priority. The New York Stock Exchange was one of my largest clients from 2010 - 2015 but in the past 3 years I've worked for some amazing clients and the diversity of work has been incredible. Photographing food, and food related events continues to be some of my most rewarding work.

Here is some food photography I did for Great Performances at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum's Summer Garden Party. I love working as the photographer for museums in New York City, so it was nice when those two worlds collide and I got to attend a party at the Cooper Hewitt but could focus on documenting the food and the general atmosphere. There was a super cool cotton candy vendor there, handing out sparkly Rose flavored candy.

Sometimes I get to work in the most amazing places: Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall, The Empire State Building, The New York Stock Exchange, Montego Bay.... there are really so many amazing places to work as a photographer, but sometimes the unexpected office in New Jersey provides a spectacular backdrop or behind the scenes for some headshots
