Cedar Crest High School Graduation

Had the privilege to be able to photograph Cedar Crest High School's graduation yesterday. Boy that makes me feel old! Here are some of my favorites :) 

Adoramapix: Standout Review.

Adoramapix just dropped a new wall decor option called Standouts. and I can't say enough about how great these are!

"Standouts feature an airy, lightweight backing available in two thicknesses. Give your images a subtle lift with ¼ inch mount or make them pop on a 1½ inch backing. Accent the vibrant colors of your photos with solid black or white finishes around the border."

My product, as always, was shipped fast and delivered on a better than normal time. I chose to get mine printed on Kodak Gloss paper on the 11x14 option (they offer many other sizes). Along with that I got a black backing at .75'' thickness. You have the option to get get white instead of black and can choose either .75'' or 1.5''. The product seemed sturdy and well printed, with vibrant color and matched the original image I had sent to be printed. Along with the features stated above there are also wholes embedded into the back of the standout so its simple process to attach to a wall with nails. 

Overall, I am very satisfied with this beautiful product and definitely recommend.

Adoramapix: Soft Cover Photobook Review

Adoramapix just released new softcover photobooks and I have to say, they don't disappoint. They come in an 8x8 square format and are printed on a beautiful textured matte paper which I love. I chose to get mine in a "Insta Book" format which is what you see here. This book is ten pages total. It comes branded in an awesome transparent AdoramaPix branded sleeve along with their logo on the back of the book. The logo can be removed for an additional $2. The price of this book with shipping is around $30 which I believe is more than worth it. Go check them out at www.adoramapix.com and see for yourself!

Patrick Sporrer

I recently did a shoot with a fellow friend and musician Patrick Sporrer. We decided to stroll around Philadelphia and get some lifestyle shots for the day. Here is what we came up with!

Product Photography.

Had a product photography shoot recently with Sixth and Rose beauty products. Here are a few shots!

Protests.

Some images from recent protests. Attending some lately has really opened up eyes for me and the thoughts of fellow Americans. 

Recent Engagement Shoot.

I recently got to photograph an engagement session for two of my friends. What an in love couples these two were! Best wishes to you both! Here are a few images from the day.

Old school is the new school.

Just got my hands on a new Fuji Film Neo 90 Classic camera and am loving it. It feels so good to have a tangible object in your hand in an instant. Having physical photo prints is becoming a lost art and I am happy to be creating these objects to look back on. I can't wait to see what I can come up with this little monster. If anyone is looking to do a polaroid shoot let me know and lets create!

Reidel Wedding.

Shooting weddings is absolutely incredible and this was no different. Being able to capture an individual's most important day is incredibly humbling and I cannot thank you guys enough for the constant support of my work. Here is to a happy life for Mr. and Mrs. Reidel. 

Photos from a recent session. I am so excited for portrait sessions this fall. 

Caught up in work.

Lately it feels like work never stops. Which honestly, is a great thing in my field. I cannot fathom yet that people appreciate my work enough to spend their hard earned money on it whether it be digital or in physical format. As always, got some upcoming things in the works. Maybe a new t-shirt, maybe a hat, maybe some new prints, maybe some new company collabs ;) who knows. But for now here is a throwback to last fall with the homie @disyouth(instagram). Enjoy the last days of summer y'all.

Sigma 24mm ART lens

Just recently picked up this lens and I must say, it's probably the best lens I've ever owned. The thing is super sharp as well as built like a tank. I'm betting 75% of my future shots will be taken with this thing.

Chinatown, Philadelphia.

This place is portrait heaven. I would tell anyone to visit here an experience the culture.

Melancholy.

Chill, I got this.

Warmer months are here!

YESSSSSSSSSS

Our America.

This is one of the most powerful images I have ever taken. This needs no words. It itself, speaks a story.

Northeast Snow.

Northeast snow storms provide for some of the most incredible environments to shoot in. As much as I dislike the cold, I can't knock on shooting in storms. 

I cant feel my hands.

This northeast winter is incredibly cold lately but it's all about the hustle. The fact that I'm going to Chicago in the next few days on a midwest road trip also has me excited. It amazes me the amount of great people I continue to meet and amazing things I've come to be a part of as a result of that piece of plastic in my hand. Much love.

Wheeling, WV.

Never in my life have I witnessed poverty and destruction like I witnesses in Wheeling. I thought I'd seen just about all of it being in some of the worst hoods around the East Coast but this took the cake. This was what I would call Meth County. Everything was in ruins and completely neglected. I love shooting shit like this and this really got my gears turning but at the same time I couldn't help but wonder how this place ended up this way. I surely want to go back no doubt.

Busy busy busy.

I've been super busy lately but I can't complain. With recent trips to cities all over the northeast region it's definitely kept me on my toes for sure. Bigger things are coming too. The people I'm meeting on a daily basis and the experiences I'm having are the exact reasons why I do what I do.
