Author George Dawes Green Photographed in his New York apartment.

I recently had the privilege to meet and photograph acclaimed author and southern gentleman George Dawes Green, for an article publicizing the release of his new book RAVENS. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

George Dawes Green is a charismatic individual, highly acclaimed novelist, poet and founder of The Moth, a non-for-profit storytelling organization, which has always and continues to draw listeners like moths to a flame. With no advertising, through sheer word of mouth, every show to date has soldout in 48 hours or less. Stories, either verbally or written, are one of the ways George has shared his southern roots, upbringing and traditions with New York City and beyond. George is truly a bridge, who not only divides his time between New York and Georgia, but contributes vastly to each setting.

I met him in his east village apartment, which was full of antiques, books and all of the items which appear in the photographs. George's apartment revealed his savoring and appreciation of artful living and I found that photographing him in this setting was a perfect window into this gifted narrator. His intelligence and wit were evident, yet not flaunted. He was warm, easy to work with and had a certain ease about him, combined with contagious enthusiasiam for The Moth, for reading, for people, and for life.

This is a quick video preview of my book that I shot in the studio last-night. I decided to forgo adding music or elaborate video production. It's more of a journal entry than song and dance production. Enjoy!

Liz Murray (Homeless To Harvard)

Last week I had a very pleasant shoot with Liz Murray. Above are some production stills and one of the hero images from that day.

Paris Metro

Here is a personal snap I thought I would share on the blog today. This is the entrance to the metro stop near my flat when I was living in Paris. This shot was taken around 5:30am on my commute to shoot a travel assignment.

Wall Street Journal Shoot

Snow Leopard

Here are a few out-takes and production stills from a super fun shoot at the Bronx Zoo.

I was assigned by the Wall Street Journal to photograph Sue Chin (Director of Planning and Design at the Bronx Zoo and Central Park Zoo) for an article about the new Snow Leopard exhibit in the Central Park Zoo. To read the WSJ article click HERE.

Thanks Eric Chan Epson 3800 Printing Guru!

As I mentioned in a previous post I am chin deep in the process of updating my portfolios. I recently started using the Epson 3800 printer for my prints. The quality of prints the 3800 produces is blowing my mind. Every photographer can relate to the frustrations of profiling our printers for optimum results. The real reason for this post is not so much to update everyone on my printing progress as it is to share a great source for profiling help. Everything you wanted to know about printing with the epson 3800.

Thanks Eric Chan from Adobe systems, Inc..!

TWO YEARS OF WORK EDITED & I'M BACK ON THE GRID

Dozens of flights, thousands of miles traveled, six major moves, an engagement to be married, a new studio, over 30,000 images edited, and I'm back on the grid!

Below is an image exerpt from one stage of my editing process. The final stage is most enjoyable as I decide the final narrative that my images will convey. Getting the images out of the computer and into tangible prints is the way that I still prefer for layout organization. As much as technology is a tool and ally, in certain situations, l still stick with older methods of design strategy.
I am well adjusting to my new studio and will keep you posted of my new portrait project as it develops.

New Manhattan Studio Location!

The past few months I have been looking for a new studio, to be based out of here in New York. I'm happy to say the search is over and I have found and am settling into a great space! The studio is located in Chelsea on West 26th street between 10th and 11th. Give me a week or so to complete the move and I will be back with blog updates and fresh work on my main web site. Above is a quick shot of the view taken with my phone.
