APA Proof Sheet Featured Photographer Spring Issue

Working as a commercial photographer in such a competitive world today setting yourself apart can be a challenge. When talking with other photographers and always being asked what do you do to separate yourself from the noise, I feel it’s your personal work that can really make a difference. Myself like many other photographers always have a running list of personal projects they are working on or would like to start. These are the sole vision of yourself that no one else can replicate! For me I love finding the humor in food and practicing lighting setups that I normally don’t work within to add a challenge and to see something different. With this personal project Transformation it was just that. I shot this idea a few years back and it still continues to draw new viewers in and enjoy looking at the series. It’s really exciting to see a project like this gain so much traction since shooting it and continuing to get myself and my work noticed.

APA is a great photo organization I belong to and they really showed an interest in my personal project, so much that they wanted to feature it! I was so excited to hear this I wasted no time coordinating for an interview and getting the photos to their designer. These moments really make what I do enjoyable and couldn’t see myself doing anything else.

If your just getting into the business I have to say stay hungry and shoot often!

APA NY Photo Contest Winner

I was so excited to find out I was one of the winners in this years APA NY Photography Contest! I entered the Still Life + Food category with one of my new personal projects I'm working on currently titled "Cartoon Food." I'm re-creating iconic foods from well known cartoons or cartoon movies and photographing them. The winning shot was my recreation of Homer Simpon's pink doughnuts. It incorporated the blue and yellow of his skin and pink doughnuts were in the white box.

I'm still currently shooting some ideas for this project and plan to send out a personal promo along with my new logo!
