Pittsburgh's Beauty

June 23, 2017

Pittsburgh in my opinion is one of the most photogenic cities. Being able to live near Pittsburgh gives me the opportunity to continually capture images of the beautiful sights around. The different architecture and the perfect horizons for sunrise and sunsets give Pittsburgh a whole different dynamic. This blog post will be updated with new photos every so often with Pittsburgh sights! So make sure to keep checking back to see new things that are being captured and uploaded.

Italy

March 30, 2017

A country full of culture, history, great food, and beautiful view points of it's cities. Venice, Florence, Siena, and Rome are the cities I was able to visit on this trip to Europe. Having going to Europe my first time I was quickly amazed by the 1,000s + years of history and architecture. My favorite destination was probably Venice for how easy to get around and the culture of no cars. The city was very small and relaxing. Florence was my second favorite, it was a good in-between of cars and walking/biking.

Going to Italy was sure a life experience that I will never forgot and these images will motivated me to continue pushing for my dreams and aspirations.

Baltimore and Some

March 21, 2017

Baltimore is a mid-sized city in North Eastern Baltimore. The city has a lot to offer from it's harbor, amazing architecture, to the clean streets; Baltimore is a pretty city. Before I got to Baltimore my friends and I traveled more south to go to Solomon Island. After Solomon Island we traveled back up to Baltimore and photographed the city from sunset till no more sunlight or magic was happening in the sky.

New York City

February 28, 2017

New York City has always been a city I get really excited to go explore. The overall atmosphere and the opportunity of photos is truly amazing. This particular trip I moved around a lot, totaling 13 miles walking. The adventure began in Chinatown, and then continued on through Soho, Little Italy, Times Square, Empire State Building, The Flatiron Building, Brooklyn Bridge, and Brooklyn Bridge Park. The photos I captured on this trip I feel show my determination to find photos and capture them no matter how far away.

New York City is a beautiful city and I can't wait till I go back next.

Philadelphia Zoo

February 21, 2017

The zoo is a beautiful place to see animals you can't otherwise go see yourself in their designated countries and ecosystems. The confinements of the animals at the Philadelphia Zoo bring different opportunities for different views and perspectives.

Ocean City Sunrise

February 07, 2017

Some people would say waking up at 3am to travel 2 hours to go get a few photos is insane; but for me that's my passion. So that's exactly what I did to capture some moments of a sunrise on Ocean Beach in New Jersey. Sunrise was said to be at 7:15am so the arrival time was set to get there around 6:30 to get the beginning of the light and enjoy the beach in the morning. Expecting a normal sunrise and nothing to spectacular I was surely wrong and pleasantly surprised when the sun broke across the horizon.

First shot on the beach was of these car tires leading to the boardwalk off the beach.

The sun light reflecting early across the horizon on the water.

The moment the sun broke over the horizon.

This sunrise was definitely worth waking up at 3AM to get there by 7:30AM for 6minutes of the sun showing how beautiful it is.

Midnight Lion Dance

January 30, 2017

Chinese New Year holds a huge celebration of family, friends, lions, and firecrackers. On Friday January 27th at 11:30pm to Saturday 1am there was a Midnight Lion Dance in China Town, Philadelphia to celebrate the Year of the Rooster... I arrived to China Town at 9:30 to figure follow the route and just enjoy China Town. It was awesome to experience a time of celebration in China Town for the New Year. The Lions and Firecrackers were very appealing too; the lion dancers seemed to be having fun and working hard, and the firecrackers excited the people watching. A few things to take away from this New Year celebration would be I'm very glad I brought ear plugs, firecrackers shoot out, and I need to get something to possibly breathe in smoke easier.

Women's March on Washington D.C.

January 24, 2017

January 21st, 2017 brought approximately 500,000 people to Washington D.C. to march in protest over more rights for groups being discriminated against. The march started at 11am and people continued to march through the streets of D.C. through Sunset and later. This experience was amazing to be able to capture moments and be submerged taking photos in a group of 500,000 people.

"You better be happy your mother didn't kill you."

"The Proud Father of a Planned Parenthood Employee"

Staring fearlessly at a instigator of march.

14th Street filled all the way back to the Mall.

The amount of people was amazing and surely made it a experience and interesting story to capture.

Pittsburgh Architecture

January 14, 2017

Pittsburgh has beautiful architecture. The views and photogenic atmosphere of Pittsburgh make it a really easy city to photograph. I was recently in Downtown Pittsburgh and decided to go to one spot particularly to get some different inner city views of the buildings.

Model: Emily Hoover

January 08, 2017

A friend of mine, Emily Hoover, has modeled for me for a few years now on small occasions for creative photoshoots. We decided to do two different studio shoots, two on location shoots, and a shoot in downtown Pittsburgh. The first studio shoot was of a light sweater with red stripes, and the second shoot was of contrasting colors (black on white). Then we traveled to a small coffee shop called Convive and took some photographs with the beautiful coffee and design. After that we traveled into Pittsburgh to take some urban kind-of-feel images. Then for lunch shortly before we called it a day we traveled to Primanti Bros in Market Square of Pittsburgh and took some quick images with the Pittsburgh known sandwiches. This set of photographs is one of my favorite portrait sessions based on the spontaneity and the overall feel of the images.
