If you’re anything like me, packing everything in a carry-on is the only way to travel. While it would be ideal to opt for a larger check-in suitcase, I prefer not to play a game of Russian roulette and risk an airline losing my luggage. There are ways to remedy such situations, especially if you […]

It’s been a minute since I’ve traveled to Scandinavia, but it’s great to explore a new country during a one-week itinerary in Copenhagen. The capital of Denmark is listed as one of the safest, and happiest countries in the world! The time of year will impact your experience, but I went during the winter season. […]

I am fully entering my photojournalist era. For the past few years, I was under the impression that to obtain an NYC Press Card Credential, my work needed to be published by a formal publication. Although I engage in concert photography for a publication, those events are considered private. As it turns out, the criteria […]

Are you interested in learning how to photograph fireworks? Of course, you are! Why else would you be here?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: there’s something truly magical about photographing surprise proposals. It was a crisp and warm autumn day in October, and I had the honor of capturing another old colleague’s surprise proposal to his now-fiancée. The setting was the iconic Bow Bridge in Central Park, and the day […]

Queens has some of the best views of the NYC skyline to take pictures from. I previously wrote about Brooklyn’s best photography spots and realized I should write one for Queens too. “The World’s Borough” is the largest New York City borough with the most diversity in the world, and is home to sports havens […]

Let me start by saying that I’ve only ventured to Summit One Vanderbilt observatory during the tranquil embrace of sunrise. If you’ve seen the crowds during regular daytime hours on social media, you’ll understand why. As the newest observatory in New York City, this place can get busy, with security noting that it can see […]

In typical concert photography fashion, only a few hours before the Trilogy Tour was set to kick off at Madison Square Garden I received a last-minute approval to photograph the legendary trio of Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, and Pitbull.
