I have been a commercial Photographer since graduating from RIT in 1987 I began to expand into weddings in 1999, for before that time I felt that the film and equipment were too inhibiting to capture a wedding as I would see it. With the new technologies, I started to develop my own techniques utilizing the then recent small grain films and 35mm auto focus cameras which enabled me to capture the wedding as a story '" the way it was - not lighting the whole room with artificial light and not asking the couple to continually stop and pose. My wedding business expanded fairly quickly considering I had no contacts in the business, and I was featured on Daily Candy in 2003, a FOX TV special in 2004 and placed on NY Magazine's best of section in 2005. I like to call it the art of lighting to enhance the image, versus the old school which most Photographers continue to do; that is illuminate the whole scene, achieving a technically good image yet with no emotion or connection with what the mood of the day was! This process continues to evolve with the advances in digital imaging enabling me to achieve what I once could only imagine in my mind.
