Fitness Photography
I love taking fitness photos. Why? Because it shows how much hard work and dedication someone can put into themselves to get the most out of a new lifestyle or change. It’s inspiring to see my clients make huge life changes and want to document those changes for the world to see. I have shot personal trainers, models, actors, MMA fighters, boxers, and everyone in between. Wake up and get your fitness photography NYC! I cater to anyone who wants some high quality photos of the body that they are proud of. Nothing shows the world you’re ready or how committed you are to bettering yourself than images showcasing the physical and mental changes you have made. When you have your health you have the world at your fingertips. Small changes lead to big changes until you find that you’re the person you have always wanted to be. Fitness is a choice we all have and if you put your mind to it you can achieve great things and feel a million times better than you did when you started your uphill journey to being in command of your health. Personally, it’s a journey that took me 33 years to start and I’m not looking back any time soon. In encourage everyone to quit smoking, hard boozing (regular boozing is ok in moderation), and eating things that will slowly kill you. Start running, swimming, biking, and eating better. You’ll live longer and love how you feel. When you’re ready for some fitness photography NYC you know where to find me!

A Fierce Defender

So, I love music. Further more; I love heavy metal music. I have been in NYC metal bands since I was 18 years old. Metal has always been a part of my life since I cranked up that first Black Sabbath album I got through those bogus Columbia House deals many moons ago. That being said; metal is an extremely positive genre of music and for me it’s the most rocking life affirming jammingest stuff you could listen to. People associate great things with music and I have a song for almost every memory or frame of mind. I love to rock, baby.
Every so often you run across a song that means more to you than the surface value of any written piece of music is supposed to mean. Sometimes music speaks to you in untold ways that really strike you to the core. I have recently felt like that about 3 Inches Of Blood’s song “Fierce Defender.” It’s not because I’m killing undead hordes or championing a battlefield with sword in tow. This song is the perfect allegory for a small business start up. You still with me? Good. Here are the lyrics and song and my breakdown as it relates to being a small business owner. If you could stick around to the end I’ll buy you a drink (Call me out on it. You will get a drink and a conversation!) Anyway, here we go:
The outbreak has begun
End of days are coming
Very few will survive this plague
Gather all supplies, keep your wits about you
A war is coming, prepare for the attackNo more running, here we make our stand
Against the odds we will fight
Be the champion, be the one
A fierce defender til its doneFortress walls, behind them to defend
From mindless creatures need for flesh
They are coming, they will not stop
Crash upon you like a tidal wave of doomNo more running, here we make our stand
Against the odds we will fight
Be the champion, be the one
A fierce defender til its doneHold the line, defend it to the end
Destroy the brain and they will fall
Show no mercy for they will give you none
Relentlessly they seek to kill
Don’t wait for outside help
Reinforcements will not come
On ourselves we must rely
Find the courage to last another day
So all of us will stay aliveOutlast the horde
Their ranks are shrinking
The instinct to live on our greatest strength
The will come when all the killing stops
Time to rebuild all that’s lostNo more running, here we make our stand
Against the odds we will fight
Be the champion, be the one
A fierce defender til its done
The outbreak has begun
End of days are coming
Very few will survive this plague
Gather all supplies, keep your wits about you
A war is coming, prepare for the attack
Meaning: You have recently started your small business and the pressure is very real. Statistically, there are only a small number of businesses that succeed. You have to use all of the tricks you have learned and carefully use your funds because you’re on your own now with no outside help. Keep your wits about you.
No more running, here we make our stand
Against the odds we will fight
Be the champion, be the one
A fierce defender til its done
Meaning: You’ve been thinking about this for a while. This is your chance to succeed and employ the tools you have amassed while preparing for your launch. The odds of success are against you but you have to believe in your self. You have to be your own champion because you know you can. Never slip in your own self confidence. Be that Fierce Defender!
Fortress walls, behind them to defend
From mindless creatures need for flesh
They are coming, they will not stop
Crash upon you like a tidal wave of doom
Meaning: Whatever you build there are people that want to tear it down. These are the haters. They could be family, friends, or business associates. They could try and tear you down and tell you that you are not good enough or special enough. It may hurt at first but you have to persevere and defend that wall.
No more running, here we make our stand
Against the odds we will fight
Be the champion, be the one
A fierce defender til its done
Hold the line, defend it to the end
Destroy the brain and they will fall
Show no mercy for they will give you none
Relentlessly they seek to kill
Don’t wait for outside help
Reinforcements will not come
On ourselves we must rely
Find the courage to last another day
So all of us will stay alive
Meaning: Small Business owners must face facts. There is no one to help with their journey. At the end of the day if you decide to do everything on your own then you must hold the fort and provide victory for your brand. Against all odds you will see the success of your small business and end up being the bigger fish in the pond. Small Business owners must be steadfast in their product and their belief in their product. No one will help you, no one will back you up, and you have to find the gumption to stand alone, say your piece, survive, and live to fight another day. As small businesses, we climb a treacherous hill with many obstacles and we should never give up. We must find the courage to last another day. We owe it to ourselves, our family, and other like minded individuals. We stay alive through the communal effort of other business owners that hold the line.
Outlast the horde
Their ranks are shrinking
The instinct to live on our greatest strength
The will come when all the killing stops
Time to rebuild all that’s lost
Meaning: The more you chip at it – the more you get out of it. The haters will fade and the detractors will think better. Why? Because you have pioneered and championed your brand through your own belief. The INSTINCT to live on IS our greatest strength. Small business owners know that they have a huge undertaking before them and that is to establish a reputable brand. When success comes then you can expand, take time off, and make up for lost time.
No more running, here we make our stand
Against the odds we will fight
Be the champion, be the one
A fierce defender til its done
Meaning: Get out there and do it. BE the successful person you know you can be. BE the business owner you have always wanted to be.
Whew, well I hope you all got through that in one piece!
The album this is from; “Here Waits Thy Doom.” is also one of the greatest driving albums ever.
I would love to hear what songs motivate you and have meaning for you.
As always, please support this site and blog with some items from Amazon!
Pin Up Photography
Pin up photography is awesome. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea but there is something innocent yet alluring about pinup photos if done the right way. The playful nature of the pinup photo has been an American and photographic standard since we were able to capture moments on film! One model doing pin up photography here was such a great and awesome sport that we decided to do some Geek Girl Pinups. Being a geek herself she knew exactly what to wear and how to pose. This set set of photos was a hit for anyone I showed and actually would encourage more potential models to let it hang out and let their geek flag fly high. I also included some other pin up photography in this post as well. As always, I encourage you all to click around the site, send me emails, and interact with me on Twitter or Facebook. A huge part of pin up photography is making your model feel comfortable, attractive, and playful. I have written about this at length for a couple of magazines and my word of advice to any aspiring pin up photographer is to have fun, keep your hands to yourself, AND crank out some awesome tunes!
I am also a huge fan of pop culture, nerdery, geekery, and all within. To be honest I’m really into comics, science fiction, and a number of TV shows. Like really into comics. This photoshoot for some Geek Girl Pinups was a no brainer for this guy. This gallery combines a lot of pin up photography I have taken amidst other shoots. I can say that every single one of these models was completely awesome and appreciated the posing and style of pin up photography. I used a large seamless white background for the setting on a few. Fandom has been taken to the next level by lovers of comics, sci fi, movies, TV, fantasy and what have you. Fans also have direct access to creators now through conventions and social media platforms. It will be interesting to see where the state of fandom goes in the next few years. If you use Instagram you can search for a number of cool pop-culture related things in the hashtag search. It doesn’t matter what you like anymore because there will be tons of supportive and like minded fans out there for you to interact with.
I used my Canon EOS 60D
Yoga Photography NYC
I have always wanted to do Yoga Photography and have found the perfect model for it. Candice is from out of town and has only been in New York for a couple of weeks. I feel honored and privileged that I was the photographer she chose for her brand and requested my services for some yoga photography that she would use for networking and of course yoga! She is a certified yoga instructor and an extremely wonderful person as well. We put together poses and photos that we would like to showcase and being the great subject that she is also posed for some more pinup style photos (that will be featured on an upcoming update) This session concentrates on her ability to strongly pose without faltering and shows the strength of her will, mind, and body. Yoga is an extension of your being and it’s proof to the universe that you are one within it and one with it. Yoga Photography can be an extension of the photographer’s quest for knowledge within a subject. In a city that can at times be a clenched fist I commend her efforts to spread positivity through her practice and am extremely happy with the results of the yoga photography that I captured of her practicing her art.
I decided to use mostly black and whites for the post production on this session. I feel it showcases her strength and definition while fading into a universal constant. We employed a Valeo Yoga Mat, Purple
