How I Take Pictures.
I am a person who always wants my work to speak for itself. I am not big on being a sales man but rather let people be able to elicit an honest emotional reaction from my work. They can judge from there if they choose to hire me for work or not. Photographing more and more commercial work and weddings makes me look at the process and myself a lot more. I am not only selling the image but the professional experience as well. I am huge on the transparency to the process of things, so here I am in my method of professionalism, climbing a bridge in Binghamton, NY to take engagement photos. There are countless tales of me doing what I need to, to get the shot. I was running, keeping pace with a horse at a wedding, playing in the dirt or climbing waterfalls at another. This particular shoot was unexpected and all I had was a Nikkor 105mm Macro Lens for rental that weekend but none the less, had a great time taking pictures. Next time I roll through I will have to climb a little higher with a wide angle and maybe actual sneakers. Maybe…
