On Location “Run & Gun” Test Hasselblad H4D-40 Medium Format Digital Camera
Run & Gun was my theme – Unlike many, I decided to detach this $27,000 camera kit from it’s umbilical cord and shot untethered with high speed UDMA SanDisk 16gb & 32gb Memory Cards.
At $1,000/hr for location costs, it was both Awe-Inspiring & Exhilarating at the same time! I can not say enough about the team of 11 creatives whom collaborated on this project to make it happen! Thank you all!
This video is simply a fast paced “Run & Gun” depiction of the Fashion Shoot testing the Hasselblad H4D-40 Medium Format Digital Camera. I hope you enjoy it.

As a fashion photographer that absolutely loves working with fashion designers, this gig was a dream. While, being given the opportunity to put the Hasselblad H4D-40 medium format 40 megapixel digital camera through it’s paces in a non-traditional “Run and Gun Style”, “Real World”, “On Location” high fashion photography photo shoot was like giving a kid the keys to a candy store; I’m still on a sensor high! This entire shoot would shot with the Hassy and a back Canon 5DmkII as a control unit!
Run & Gun was my theme – Unlike many, I decided to detach this $20,000-$30,000 camera kit from it’s umbilical cord and shot untethered with high speed UDMA SanDisk 16gb & 32gb Memory Cards.
So …
NO Cables
NO Laptop
NO Pro Lighting (580ex II’s + Pocket Wizards Only)

A full review on my experience with this camera will be soon coming by Press Agent Trevor Current of CurrentPhotographer.com whom flew down to Sunny Miami Florida just to cover this location fashion shoot. Stay Tuned!

Photography by Joseph Cristina from Palm Beach, FL
I would like to apologize for fallowing behind! So instead of jumping ahead I’m going to pickup where I left off.
PPE – PhotoPlus Expo went over unbelievably! Too recap, I was asked to shoot the video for an amazing seminar at PhotoPlus Expo entitled: “New Media Marketing for Next Generation Photographers” in Manhattan’s Javis Center. An all star line up of industry leaders speaking which includes: Jack Hollingsworth, Lindsay Adler, Rosh Sillars & Trevor Current.
When not speaking, in seminars, walking the trade floor we took time to enjoy each other’s company and talk shop!
So instead of getting long winded, which I’m very known for, I’ll spare all of you the details and instead share a few photos from the trip. This is a Photo Blog, or at least that’s what they tell me, so … without further adieu … I hope you enjoy!

The Role of a Professional Modeling Portfolio Photographer
The Role of a Professional Modeling Portfolio Photographer
Recently I had the absolute pleasure to work with a great model with tons of spark and a good head on her shoulders. Above you can see a few of the snaps made during this studio session.
Modeling Portfolio Photography, like Head Shots or Comp Cards must depict the client in their most SALABLE light. The difference between the Portofolio, Head shots and Comp Cards is simply the number of photographs a model has to use to “get the job”, so to speak.
An easy way to look at this is simply —- The Head Shot is your Business Card; The Comp Card is your Invitation to get in the door; while your Portfolio is the eclectic representation of YOU as a model that will open the greatest number of doors and ultimately “seal the deal” with the agency or art director.
A professional photographer should not only focused on making stunning images but creating an inherent value to the product, service or client photographed.

Facebook gives back 20% to the photo community!
Facebook’s gives back 20% to the photo community
A few days ago while uploading an image to my Facebook Portfolio I noticed that the size reduction after compression was not as severe as in the past. To see what had changed, I downloaded the image into Photoshop to check it’s size after being run through Facebook’s “new” photo algorithm and ,to my amazement, I immediately found a 20% increase in the size of the image. In the past, photographs would be reduced to a max “long edge” length of 604px but now the image was a whopping 720px.
Allure Multimedia Professional Commercial Photographer * Q: ISO vs Strobes vs Monolights
Will higher useable ISO create a resurgence of small Strobes vs Monolights?
As an event and commercial photographer base in West Palm Beach, FL, I’m continuously replacing old gear with new to increase productivity. Well, yesterday I began searching for a new set of studio strobes as ours are… let’s just say… getting at bit long in the tooth!
Jumped head first into researching which of today’s monolights was not only high quality but also were the best bang for the buck. While reading reviews and of course asking friends and fellow professional photographers, @trevorcurrent, @photojack, @lensflare35, @newmediaphoto, just to name a few, on Twitter — my second home. Quickly it became apparent that this cross section of well-recognized Pros would have answers as diverse as the style of photography they worked in. From Alien Bee to ProFoto and everything in between!

Musician Album Cover Photographer & Designer
Musician Album Cover Photographer & Designer West Palm Beach, FL
Well as a photographer for the better part of two decades, I have photographed many interesting people. One of my FAVORITE projects is to work on is a fellow artists vision / inspiration. Not being stifled, bond by so many rules and guidelines, allows my creative juices to flow! * I LOVE IT *
About a month ago, Samuel Gali, (musician, composer, pianist) approached me after searching for a professional musician style photographer that could not only give him the IMAGE that he was looking for but have the ability to complete his project from start to finish.
His project was a complete Press-Ready 6 panel DigiPak as seen in your local music store. This album cover project not only included a studio photo session but direct work with Layout, Design and Replicators requirements. Having magazine and advertising agency background doing paste-up, layout and front cover work, it’s by far my passion to create final production pieces!
I love photography but still consider myself a PHOTO-ARTIST more than a “Photographer”. I just love love love getting elbows deep in Photoshop, In Design, Illustrator and other instrumental packages to create final production pieces for my clients.
As a professional musician photographer whom has worked on instrumental albums, singer song writers albums as well as music producers promotional materials, I find myself very “in-tune” with the “artist”.
Their IMAGE is absolutely critical and the professional photographer they commission to capture it is as important as picking the right first song on their album! Artist realize that their IMAGE can be made or broke by a photograph; It’s that important.
During my sessions with artists, as a rule, I ask that an they bring a demo reel with them that can be played throughout the studio to give me a better feel for who they are. Let me just say, GALI’s ( IS ) an amazing, let me repeat AMAZING musician, composer & pianist,!! All I can say is; Wow! The sound that filled the studio was unbelievable!
Having been selected out of many Professional Photography & Design Studios to create his first (signature) CD /DVD combo DigiPak music album was an honor for me. Thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to your up and coming second album.
Look for GALI’s album to hit stores by the beginning of next year and his first release on itunes is coming very soon! If you like masterful piano with a Jazzy, Modern Sound, you’re gonna love his work!

Kelley Hall – Professional Model Headshot / Actor Head Shots Palm Beach South Florida
elley was such a pleasure to work with. With very little coaching, she was hitting pose after pose. The above photos were just a few from this week’s 2 hour modeling headshot session with Kelley Hall. Fabiola of Fairytale Beauty, LLC, my fabulous wife provided all hair and makeup for this shoot. Fabiola specializes in Professional Bridal Hair & Makeup Services in South Florida but as a team, Fabiola and myself work on many projects to from actor headshots; celebrity head shots; male & female model headshots; all forms of headshot photography in palm beach Florida; fashion; commercial; wedding photography; catalog; gala events; boudoir sessions and much much more. For over 15 years we have been honing our skills and hope it shows in our work.
It is my goal to positively change the lives of all I photograph. I put 110% of my heart and soul into each and every image. As they say, the devils in the details; I truly believe this to be the case! From the countless hours of dark room retouching / photo processing elbows deep in chemicals to now sitting in front of multiple 30″ LCD monitors. The methods have changed over time but the time to create a work of art has not.
Thanks for visiting my blog and if you have any questions regarding booking mine or Fabiola’s services, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
