Portraits should reveal something essential about the subject. Whether it's the expression, the setting, an instrument, or the other people in a group, a good portrait conveys a bit more than just your appearance. Do you need a professional headshot? A senior portrait? Promotional images? Let's discuss what you want to accomplish with a portrait and how I can help you to achieve it.
As a photographer it is great to be part of a couple's wedding day. The ritual, the fancy attire, and the gathered friends and family all contribute to a rich environment for pictures. Let's talk about the photography that you want for your wedding and how I can make it happen for you.
Fundraisers, parties, business conferences. You put a lot of effort into planning and and producing your event. Why not create the best possible record of it with professional photography? I will make you and your guests look their best and feel comfortable with memorable candids and group photos.
A lifelong photographer, I started booking
commercial assignments in 2008.
My kids had left the house,
my wife was tired of being my model,
and I needed new subjects. I took classes
at the Emerson Umbrella Center for the Arts in
Concord and at the New England School of Photography
in Boston. I started working for
Marcia Toto
as a wedding second shooter. I signed on as a stringer
for the Sudbury Town Crier and MetroWest Daily News.
And I volunteered to photograph some charity events.
These starting points led me to develop my own wedding clientele. I also built a practice in event photography for corporate and non-profit clients. And along the way people hired me for head shots, family portraits, social events, and fundraisers.
I still concentrate on portraits, weddings, and events. Take a look at the pictures on this web site. If you like the style, the composition, and the overall aesthetic then let's discuss how I can be of service for your next photo project.
A word about digital rights. After your photo session, I will select and edit a subset of images for you. I will deliver high resolution JPEG files, probably on USB thumb drive, which you can deploy for non-commercial uses. Facebook and Instagram? Yes. Prints for your personal use or for gifts? Yes. Your personal website? Yes. Your company's advertising campaign? No, we would need to negotiate that and any other commercial uses of the images.
