Recent shoot for a New York City based fitness company. The evening shoot took full advantage of September’s long shadows and warm evening light. In September and October, Central Park is full of runners as they ramp up their marathon training programs with 12-15-17-18-20-22+ mile runs. Across the United States and even abroad the fall is marathon season.
Jewish leaders and thinkers gathered on Sunday September 15, 2019 to examine tension between the individual and collective experience during the Jewish high holidays. The Shalom Hartman Institute held the day of discussion at their Morningside Heights office.
As a higher education photographer and as a general event photographer ,in New York none the less, I photograph a wide array of events with varying subject matters. I learn a lot about a lot, and a large portion of the time I learn about whatever the event I am photographing is about.
NYC event photography brings with it its many challenges; poor event lighting, small rooms, limitations on how long I can photograph. However, it also brings with it a variety of unique events to photograph.
John proposed to Lauren on a cool September evening under a full moon at the Brooklyn Bridge View Park in Manhattan, NY. The night was truly unforgettable as the full moon rose behind them and just over the iconic Brooklyn Bridge.
Photographing this NYC marriage proposal is one proposal I will not forget. We could not have asked for a more perfect evening.
American military veterans met their service dogs for the first time on America's VetDogs Smithtown, NY campus. Over the next two weeks, the vets and their new dogs will train together. The veterans will learn how to work with their dogs, reinforce good behavior, and take care of their dogs. These highly trained and intellectual dogs can help their new owners with a wide range of tasks; open doors, wake them from nightmares, help them relax, and stand up if they fall.
When I met Patrick, the Head Manager of Turf at the Engineers Country Club, I asked him to show me his favorite spots on the course. In his headshot photos I wanted to capture what makes the course, the grounds, and it’s facilities unique. So, we took two golf carts out and drove around for a bit. As we drove, Patrick proved to be super informative and passionate about his role at the Roslyn Harbor, NY country club and about Long Island’s unique geography.
“From the top of the 15th hole you can see the NYC skyline faintly in the distance. At night when it’s clearer the whole city looks amazing from up here”, he explained. Patrick also told me just how unique Long Island’s North Shore golf courses are in comparison to the rest of the country. Long Island courses naturally feature dramatic hills, terrific soil conditions, and shady tall trees. In comparison, when building a golf course elsewhere hills have to be made, trees have to be planted, and soil has to be developed.
So, how did the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America find this Long Island photographer? I’m certainly no expert of “country club club turf management”. The answer is simple, S.E.O. I’ve been working on pushing relevant and geotagged content to blogs and pages on my website.
