Portrait

Image taken yesterday whilst trawling the streets of Manhattan. Got chatting with this gentlemen and his friends.

Always a head-turner seeing Batman on the beach! This particular image was shot on a recent trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey.

While doing some images around Chinatown I got chatting with this gentleman. We did a few portraits together before he completely freaked me out by showing the whites of his eyes. It made for a great image. You never know when you head out with the camera just what you are going to come home with.

Fighting Bad Guys in Berlin,' this has to be one of the best tote bags ever. This portrait was taken on one of my more recent trips to Europe. I have been visiting Berlin since about 2000, and it just never disappoints. The people, the fashion, and the energy keep me coming back.

This particular image captures four waiters ready to serve at a resturant in Geneva, Switzerland. Its them all with different expressions that just gets me everytime.

One of my favorite images is this one, taken in Paris. I was sitting in a cafe when this gentleman walked past me, all dressed up and looking like he had just come out of a time machine. I dropped everything, ran out of the cafe, and, doing my best, asked him in French if I could take his picture. The man kindly obliged, and it's still one of my favorite portraits today.

The photo was taken at the Jazz Age Lawn Party, which is this super popular 1920s-themed festival on Governors Island. It's not a regular jazz festival—it's more like a time machine where everyone dresses up in flapper dresses and suits, and you can listen to a live orchestra, have a picnic, and just soak up the vintage vibes. It’s a great place for people-watching and, as it turns out, taking incredible portraits.

 

 

I took this particular shot  using the Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux. This isn't just a regular camera lens; it's a bit of a legend. Was fun to experiment with and I would say the main advantage is having the ability to do close up focus.
