NOTES
#BTS: New York
Because nobody likes squares.
I really love doing portrait sessions. Sometimes the work can look somber but the behind the scenes stuff reveals that it's almost always fun and laughs. The versions that are being selected for marketing are very elegant and beautiful but I like the contrast of humor while working these shoots.
Most of the photos included in this post are from the shoots recently done in New York. Collaborating with talented people with strong chemistry brings the whole thing together. I build relationships with people who I may never meet again but will never forget. Thanks to all who did the hard work, especially those at the salon De La Mer.
The others are from work I did with ProHairKit, IRFE and The Morning Sea.

Taking the Fujifilm x100s Out for a Spin at a New Orleans Wedding
The time I shot a wedding in New Orleans with a Fujifilm x100s.
"You see if you don’t take money, they can’t tell you what to do, kid." -- Bill Cunningham
Just over a month ago, my wife and I were invited to a wedding here in New Orleans. I'd been wanting to shoot a wedding with my Fujifilm x100s since I got it just to see how it would fare in a situation with a lot of moving parts. I was able to experiment with this camera because I wasn't the hired photographer. In another scenario, I'd have brought my Nikon cameras since I know very well how well they handle under these high octane situations.
I was very satisfied but unsurprised by the x100s' performance. It handled the rain with no problem and the autofocus worked wonderfully. I could very well see this being the only camera I shoot events with in the future. It was fun, compact and easy to work with and due to its quiet shutter and size, I went mostly unnoticed when I needed to be.
