JCPhotoMedia Portrait, Action, and Travel Photography focused on location lighting and spectacle.... Please share this with your friends. Commissions welcomed.

Traveling the US and the World in search of interesting subjects and places to capture with my Nikon cameras and lenses. Environmental portraits are my specialty with a love of the gritty and abandoned or desolate as my favorite locations. Juxtaposition would be the word I'd use to describe my desired aesthetic. Other area's of photographic interest are concerts, sports, and of course my daughter Zoe.

Can’t open the raws yet but the A1 II is a home run got me. Everything I wanted that was realistic is in there. Faster more accurate AF?✅ the body and flip screen from A9III? ✅ pre capture? ✅ even more stabilization? Nicer viewfinder full AF tracking at 30FPS? Auto subject recognition so I don’t accidentally have it on bird when I photograph people? ✅✅✅✅✅ Super stoked about the whole thing BUT the biggest surprise was walking in thinking “no way” on buying a 28-70 and now trying fo figure out how much I can sell my 24-70 2.8 and 35 1.4 for to fund this beautiful piece of glass. Lighter than I expected. Razor Sharp. Super fast focus. Wow.

is player of the week after his monster game for against : shot these on a small outdoor court outside the arena while the sun was setting taking advantage of the to shoot aperture and shutter speed combos I could not have imagined with my strobes in the past… can’t wait to see what is in store for this baller the rest of the season.

Black and white or color? Let me know in the comments. There were a billion people taking pics and I snuck in with my and Octa m softbox for this shot of .brio of the during the Photowalk in Philly during the photo show… I’d already shot a couple shots I posted yesterday but I didn’t love the background at this point so I killed the ambient and controlled the depth of field by going f/2.8 and 1/10,000 on my - in hindsight I should’ve shot f/5.6 at 1/2500 to get more detail in both horse, tack, and the rider but it was literally a blink and you’ll miss it moment….

Grabbed my and snapped off a few impromptu portraits of the crew during the lead photowalk in front of location - thank you .brio being a gracious pr director and being easy to photograph ;-) - I’m thankful for all the opportunities my career has given me to see cool things that I’m certain I’d have missed…

Great time in Jacksonville with and a small group of students for a workshop - great students and Sal and were both great…I took 6 photos after my students finished - 1 “normal exposure”, I dark exposure with no flash, and these 4 you see. I used my A1 with 16-35 gm II for this set with two strobes… one to camera right in a Rapidbox Octa M to camera right and one bare slightly to camera left to fill shadows on dress and boots… f/4 at 1/3200 or 1/4000 (the darker shot) - I will be thinking of this location for a long time

My skills are weak but is strong with the force…. The very last session of my hands on workshops during saw me taking it inside as the dark and cold took over the areas surrounding the store… great time - special shout out to for helping me get set up and broke down - did a much better job welding the saber than I did making it look awesome: fail forward is my motto and I have some ideas if I ever get to shoot another

I knew I couldn’t get the shot I wanted. Driving 6 hours north wasn’t in the cards. I knew if I did a timelapse that I wouldn’t get the actual #eclipse to show but I did hope for the dramatic loss of light to be captured and it was… #timelapse #eclipse2024 #sonyalpha #theawakening #daddydaughtertime #newjersey

#throwback to a #timelapse in @joshuatreenps with @photosuban made up of 350 stills as the #moon fights the #sun - I miss the desert but unfortunately rarely miss dessert.

@bouncingsoulsnj killing it at @starlandnj December 2023 for the last stop on their winter tour… #newjersey #punkrock #heroes

I recently was able to access a bunch of raw files that I thought were lost to me forever… these as an example ar just over 10 years old (amazingly enough Chelsea looks about the same) These aren’t the oldest files in there, but these come from a trip that I took with the people at Westcott long before I was working there… Dave Piazza, and the rest of the crew from Westcott took us out to shoot with Chelsea Dawn and it was a blast… I had no idea that this is where I would end up, but that was definitely a cementing day in my love for Westcott products…

Today won’t be like yesterday… the boys in @banecentral have decided that Armageddon is locked and loaded and will make an Ali like return to Boston today. @papidalby @aaronbedard @zachbane @bobbybane @jamessiboni @peterchilton #stu #bane #canwestadtagain

A few images from the @summitworkshops workshop with @jeanfruthimages #stevefine , and me. As always I was using @westcottlighting strobes. 1x4 Rapidboxes to right and left with grids and FJ400 with the main light coming from an FJ200 in the Octa S with Grid. Big shout out to @csteppig for pulling this together and Jean for getting @gleasonsgym to give us a bit of space. And as always : the students inspire me to be better than I am… #westcottlighting #summitworkshops #boxers #sportsportraits #lighting #lighting. Also big thanks to @jillian_graniero killed it

Happy #earthday : I don’t shoot enough landscape… be safe. Love your mother. My head is throbbing due to a crappy fall but I’m thankful every day…
