Hudson Valley Click: Haunted Fashion Shootout

273A0671-Edit
I recently attended Hudson Valley Click’s 4th Annual Haunted Fashion Shootout at Pure Terror Screampark, formerly at The Castle, but now at Museum Village in Monroe.
It’s quite a strange and awesome place to shoot, because it’s literally a haunted house, and you’re carrying light stands and gear through very tight spaces, surrounded by creepy décor. It’s sometimes a bit chlostrophobic in there, especially once you add in the models!

Hudson Valley Click: Steampunk Shoot at Museum Village

273A1406
This past Sunday I attended the Hudson Valley Click Steampunk shoot at Museum Village in Monroe, NY. The location is pretty cool – it is several small buildings with all old artifacts, set up as different types of scenes, from an old general store and old drug store, to an old print shop, house, firehouse, barn, and more. Our models dressed in steam punk costumes for the theme. See my favorite photos from the shoot here.
Thanks to all the models and hairstylists/makeup artists!

Community Events/Festival Photography: Renaissance Faire Portraits

273A5693-Edit
A few weeks ago I went to the Renaissance Faire to take photos. I thought to myself, “How did it take me my whole life to discover this?!” It’s literally photographers’ gold. I love the mystical feeling of the characters you see there, so I did my best to capture that, and do justice to the mystique and whimsical feeling that I got from being there.
