Classy Boudoir Photography Behind The Scenes TV Segment
Classy Boudoir Photography Behind The Scenes TV Segment
NBC 6 / Telemundo 51 Miami
Previously we were interviewed by The TodayShow for what I call my “Classy Not Trashy” Boudoir Photography. Just recently we were approached by a producer from NBC 6 / Telemundo 51 Miami to do a full segment regarding this specific form of photography.
Boudoir Photography should force the photographer to create images that flatter their client and do so in a classy manor but over the years I saw so many “boudoir photos” that in my mind did the contrary. I made it my goal to bring the Classy back to Boudoir Photography and it’s my hope this thought can be seen within my boudoir photographs.
Like all other forms of portraiture, Boudoir Photography does allow for surreal themes, playfulness and artistry with styling seen within the pages of todays top fashion magazines.
With a strong collaboration between The Client, My Beautiful Wife, Fabiola, Licensed Cosmetologist / Hair & Makeup Artist and myself professional photographer we create images that are truly timeless.
I’ve been told by clients that our sensual photography sessions are life transforming events and many women have returned years later for followup sessions as a way to document their life’s journey of self discovery!
We are located in Sunny South Florida Palm Beach County but travel the country and even worldwide sharing our gifts.
From Fine Art, Boudoir, Modeling and Commercial Photography project, I would like to welcome all to contact me for more information. Enjoy the segment!

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.

How to pick an Actor Headshot or Modeling Headshot Photographer?
How to pick an Actor Headshot or Modeling Headshot Photographer?
HINT: ALL ASPIRING MODELS & ACTORS MUST KNOW
When commissioning a photographer, take the time to look at their portfolio, discuss with them exactly what you or the agency requires and for the Love of God, do your due diligence before wasting your money.
If you think (man or woman) you can do your own hair & makeup; SLAP YOURSELF once for being ignorant and twice for being so damn cheap! (Did I say that?… YES! YES I DID…) A hair & makeup artist on location during your session will not only provide you with a better photographic appearance but will also provide different hair do’s and fashion styling which ultimately will benefit you by providing a greater number of looks to proof through once your session is over.

From Wedding Photography, Wedding Cinematography, Bridal Hair & Makeup Styling; last weeks wedding was absolutely stellar to say the least! Located at the beautiful Boca Raton Resort & Spa, a stunning venue for picture perfect South Florida destination weddings in East Boca Raton South Florida on the gorgeous inter-coastal waterway.
Having a background in magazine photography and as a Fashion and Portrait Photographer with an eye for the fine arts; it’s my goal to provide the bride & groom with photographs which look ready to be published within a bridal magazine, wall portrait or even seen hung in an art gallery.

The Creating of an Image & Professional Branding of a Company
I’m publishing this short entry as a follow up to my previous article entitled ” Professional Branding Portraiture Photography – Ditch the 80’s Real Estate Head Shot “. Let me beginning by giving you some background: A few weeks back the studio receives contact from a brand new company which was in need of a “Look”, a “Brand”, or “Image” to allow their clients to recognize them immediately when seeing their promotional materials.
This strong association between the Company and the Brand is one of the most critical factors when starting a new venture and is so often over looked..

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!
