Frequently Asked Questions

What is your signature photography style?

I specialize in cinematic portrait and street photography. My work is defined by the "raw soul" of New York City — expect moody lighting, high-impact shadows, and an editorial aesthetic that feels like a still from a film. Whether it’s a private portrait or a street scene, I focus on bold character and urban rhythm.

HOW DO I BOOK A SESSION AND WHAT IS THE PROCESS?

You can book directly through the "Book a Shoot" page. Once you select a date, we’ll have a brief consultation to discuss the vibe, location (NYC-based), and styling. A 50% deposit is required to secure your spot.

WHAT PAPER IS USED FOR THE PRINTS?

Primarily, I use Canon Pro Platinum 300 g/m2 photo paper. It perfectly balances the deep blacks of street photography with a slight sheen that brings out cinematic colors.

HOW DO I COLLABORATE OR BECOME A MODEL FOR YOUR NYC SERIES?

I am always looking for new faces for personal creative projects and street tests. If you’re interested in collaborating on a specific vision, please submit your request through "Become a Model" page.

DO YOU TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF NYC FOR SHOOTS?

While I am based in New York City, I am available for travel worldwide for editorial work and private commissions. Travel fees apply for locations outside the five boroughs.
