How do you handle editing and retouching?

I offer basic photo editing services including cropping, color correction, and lighting adjustments to enhance the overall quality of the images. In addition, all photos will receive edits to make your images match stylistically with the photos that you see in my portfolio.

How many photos will we receive?

The number of photos you will receive can vary depending on the length and nature of the event. However, a good estimate to use as a guideline is approximately 100 photos per hour of the event. Please note that this is an estimate and the actual number of photos may vary.

When will we receive the edited photos?

You will receive the edited photos within 2 weeks of your event. I understand that sometimes you may need your photos sooner, so I do offer rush options for an additional fee. Please let me know if you have any special time requirements and I will do my best to accommodate them.

Do you offer posed photos?

Yes, I am able to take posed photographs, but it's not my main focus. My specialty is capturing candid and natural moments that showcase the energy, emotion, and dynamics of the performance. While I can definitely take posed photographs, I recommend that you take a look at my portfolio to get a sense of my style and approach to concert photography.

Are there any additional expenses beyond the cost of the photoshoot?

When you book your photoshoot with me, there are no hidden costs or fees. The cost that is quoted to you during the booking process is the final amount you will be responsible for paying. You will not be required to pay any additional costs beyond what is quoted.

What are we able to do with the images?

You are free to use the photos for any personal or commercial use. However, as the photographer, I retain the copyright to the images.

How far in advance should I book?

I typically am booked around 6 months out, but I put no limit on that and I have repeat clients that regularly book me a year in advance in order to ensure their dates. The sooner you let me know the date you’re looking for, the better the chance I’ll be available.

Should we get photos of the actual performance or of a dress rehearsal?

It depends on what you're looking for. I have clients that opt for both, which is the best option since you get the best of both worlds, but if you're only choosing one, consider this: For the performance, I may not be able to move around as much, so the photos may not be as varied as in a rehearsal. However, I can get photos with the audience, which is important to many clients. For a rehearsal, you get more varied photos but no audience shots.

Harmony and Talent Unite at DCINY's Total Vocal Concert

Carnegie Hall was alive with the sound of music as DCINY’s annual Total Vocal concert returned, showcasing the talents of various choirs, special guests, and beatboxers. This marked my fourth year photographing the event, and once again, Deke Sharon took the stage as conductor and MC, leading the performers in a night filled with Disney classics, Broadway tunes, and American popular music.

The concert kicked off with the Keiko Kane Choir performing "E Ku'ulei," a traditional Hawaiian song arranged by Camilla Corpus Yamamoto. A series of memorable performances followed, featuring songs like "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," "Don't Start Now," and "Pompeii," with soloists and vocal percussionists showcasing their talents throughout the night.

In the first half of the concert, the choir was made up of Crimson & Slate, El Segundo High School Chamber Choir, Keiki Kani Choir, Mariemont High School Choir, Mt. Sinai High School Jazz Choir, My Pop Choir, and Squad Harmonix, offering a diverse range of musical arrangements and harmonies. At this time, special guest Nikisha Williams, who is currently playing Eliza in the national tour of Hamilton, delivered an incredible performance, singing "True Colors" and leaving a lasting impression on the audience.

During intermission, world-class beatboxers Kaila Mullady and Mark Martin took the spotlight, enthralling the audience with their extraordinary skills and entertaining performance.

As the first half of the concert concluded, Pop Voices, Singing Earth Divine, Vocal Academy@St. James, Vocal Synergy, and Westport Youth Choir took the stage for a thrilling second half, featuring songs like "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "You Make My Dreams," and "Cecilia." GQ delighted the audience with their performances of "Pity Party" arranged by Patrick McAlexander and "Timshel," arranged by Katie Gillis and Katie MacDonald, respectively. Jua Amir also took the stage during the second half, mesmerizing the audience with his powerful voice and a stunning rendition of "Kiss From A Rose."

The evening concluded with the entire ensemble performing Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" before the much-anticipated encore of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." During the encore, performers from the first half of the concert made their way from the back of the house and into the audience, creating an interactive and immersive experience for everyone present.

The Total Vocal concert at Carnegie Hall once again proved to be a magical evening, filled with exceptional talent, unforgettable performances, and the shared love of music that brought everyone together.
