Videography and Photography Thanks for visiting my professional page. I plan to post and share projects while they are in process.
All photos and videos here are my own unless noted otherwise. I am available to perform freelancing work including marketing, social media, web design, photography, and videography. I keep costs low and deliver results quickly by utilizing natural lighting and performing all the work myself. Please visit my website for a more extensive portfolio and feel free to send me a message if you'd like to get connected.
I always love recording opera and doing so for a group that's so passionate about it is even better. Here are a couple of screen grabs from the Marriage of Figaro performance on 8/1 at St. Clements by Independent Sounds! Please feel free to tag yourselves and share. Thanks to Todd Williams and Angela Gilbert for running another successful festival.
Nice words from a critic that normally attends concerts online. This is the last day to catch the video.
Michael Caruso normally reviews our concerts in person for The Chestnut Hill Local but, due to scheduling conflicts, he couldn't attend. However, "as a fortunate result of Piffaro regularly recording its concerts, I was able to view the program’s rendition online. Although I would never suggest that an online encounter in any way fully equates with an in-person experience, I must confess to having been pleasantly surprised by how musically and artistically fulfilling this particular online performance was."
Today is the LAST DAY to watch Glory of the Wind Band online!

It was an honor to photograph the commencement ceremony at the Curtis Institute of Music on Saturday. Congratulations to the students in the class of 2024.
Nice to see my video featured on the America's Garden Capital - Greater Philadelphia Gardens website. Yes, it's glorious at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens right now.
Only one more day to see why James Reese is one of the busiest tenors in chamber music performances today. Such beautiful tone and expression!
I'm excited to have another Piffaro video releasing tomorrow. Definitely worth checking out while it's available.
It may not be pretty but it works. I'm looking forward to diving into editing Piffaro, The Renaissance Band's The French (Italian) Connection concert now.
It was a pleasure documenting this event with FASPE at Princeton University recently.
6abc Action News did a really nice job highlighting the dedication of the newly renovated pipe organ at Glen Foerd. I was excited to cover the event as photographer as well. It's definitely worth a visit if you've never been there.
The more-than-a-century-old organ at Glen Foerd had grown silent over the past few decades. Now, it will welcome guests for monthly performances.
Thanks, Kairos Trio for the "load in/out" photos. It was a pretty trail and it didn't rain. :-)
There's a new trio in town, and yes, walking through Fairmount park with empty instrument cases did raise a few eyebrows. 🤣 Kairos Trio
2023 saw the return of audiences and normality post pandemic. I would like to thank all of my clients for giving met the opportunity to document your work the best that I can. Special thanks to the production companies: Rec Today and Dave Tavani that brought me in to some of these gigs as part of their crew. I can't imagine a better topic to cover than area musical performances along with a few other topics. It's wonderful to work with all of you and there have been more than one performance where I struggled to keep my eyes clear through the emotions I experienced at your event. Best wishes to all of you and Happy New Year!
Another Piffaro, The Renaissance Band concert! This time it's Christmas in Southern Germany and performed in the beautiful Christ Church Christiana Hundred.
Cool! I'm looking forward to photographing this event.
Fantastic job on this production, Tolsma Productions and Paul Vazquez. It was an amazing event by Westminster Choir College and Robert McCormick at the magnificent pipe organ. You can catch is on most PBS stations or their streaming service.
When Orchestra 2001 asks me to record something, I've learned to expect the unexpected.
Exciting news! "Christmas at Westminster" has been picked up by most PBS stations and it will be broadcast across the US and available via streaming. I had the small role of running one of the cameras in this large production by Tolsma Productions. It was an honor to be included and a magnificent concert. (filmed last year)
For those in the Philadelphia area, it will be broadcast on WHYY on: Friday, 12.22.23 | 9 PM. Saturday, 12.23.23 | 7 PM. Sunday, 12.24.23 | 12:30 PM
From classic specials to wintry wonderland tours we’ve got you covered. Join us for a magical season of music, tours, documentaries and more.
Wow. The spectacular performance I recorded by the brand new group, Musica Tevere brought tears to my eyes at the end, which is not terribly helpful if you're trying to operate a camera. 😢Further proof of high level of artistry in the Philadelphia freelancing community. 👏👏👏 https://musicatevere.com
Thanks to Irene Lambrou and Medea for the chance to work on this video. It's a fabulous song to have stuck in your head. 👻💀 Full EP drops on Bandcamp on Halloween.

Medea's new music video that we shot at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens will be released soon. Stay tuned. 💀🎃👻
New tube light (blue) and a little editing trickery (green leaves turned to red) to make a spooky video for Medea. I received a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts in August and of course I immediately used it to purchase new gear including 4 color tube lights, 1 color pixel light, and 1 general purpose white light.
I'm grateful for the help and looking forward to applying this new lighting in other projects. I'm also looking forward to the release of this video later in the month. Thanks to Irene Lambrou for inviting me to do this fun project.

The stars aligned on Saturday to produce this reflection of the beautiful stained glass at the Temple Performing Arts Center and I knew I had to capture it with all 250 singers. Thanks, Mendelssohn Chorus for a wonderful concert and the opportunity to work with you again.

My worlds collided this past weekend as I enjoyed a wonderful recital where I work part time at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens. Two more recitals in the series will take place in February and March in case you are interested. It's a great location for chamber music. Allegro Music Consultants
