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.

Lights, Camera, Action: Behind the Lens at the World Premiere of 'Waitress, the Musical - Live on Broadway!' Red Carpet at Tribeca Festival"

Red Carpet

Written By Daniel

The red carpet - it's a place where fashion meets passion, where anticipation meets appreciation, and where I found myself for the first time at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center for the world premiere of 'Waitress, the Musical - Live on Broadway!' at the 2023 Tribeca Festival.

The red carpet is a world all its own, separate from the main event, yet intrinsically linked to it. The Tribeca Performing Arts Center, with its grand capacity and rich history, was abuzz with excitement as it served as the backdrop for this vibrant gathering of stars and talents.

'Waitress, the Musical - Live on Broadway!' is a musical that has touched hearts worldwide. Based on a much-loved film, the story follows Jenna Hunterson, a pie-maker and waitress stuck in a less than ideal marriage. Sara Bareilles, the singer-songwriter responsible for the original music and lyrics, reprised her role as Jenna for this filmed version of the musical.

As I positioned myself on the red carpet, camera in hand, I could feel the energy pulsating around me. This wasn't just a world premiere; it was a celebration of art, talent, and the enduring spirit of Broadway.

Despite the chaos that can often accompany such grand events, there was a unique sense of camaraderie among us photographers. As the night progressed and the clock ticked, our encounters with each star became briefer, yet the importance of capturing their moment never waned. We worked together, ensuring everyone had the shot they needed, a testament to the power of collaboration even in the most high-pressure situations.

Each click of the shutter was a chance to capture a piece of this special night - the glitz, the glamour, the anticipation, and the joy. Everyone brought their own unique energy to the red carpet, and my job was to encapsulate that in each photo.

This night at the world premiere of 'Waitress, the Musical - Live on Broadway!' was a whirlwind of experiences, filled with lights, cameras, and plenty of action. As a photographer, it was not just about taking pictures; it was about capturing moments, telling stories through images, and being a part of something truly magical.
