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.

Some Enchanted Evening: A Centennial Celebration with The Dessoff Choirs

Last Friday evening at Roulette Intermedium in Brooklyn marked my return to Roulette Intermedium to photograph another musical review with The Dessoff Choirs. The Dessoff Choirs were kicking off their centennial year, and they did so with an exclusive focus on the timeless works of Rodgers & Hammerstein.

As a photographer, it’s always intriguing to capture live performances, particularly when the performers and the program are this compelling. Malcolm J. Merriweather’s opening of "Some Enchanted Evening" immediately set the tone for the evening—a blend of grace and power that I aimed to encapsulate in each frame.

On a stage with a dark background, a man in a cream-colored traditional outfit sings with intensity, his hands expressively open in front of him. Various performers in similar off-white attire stand around him, attentively watching.

Then there were moments that caught everyone off guard—in a good way, of course. For instance, Kimberley Cohan and Scott Scholes' rendition of "Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?" had an extra layer of authenticity. Knowing they’re a couple in real life added a dash of enchantment to my shots.

Steven Ryan (center in the image below), the accompanist since 1997 for The Dessoff Choirs, offered another level of artistry to the event. You could tell by the smile on his face just how thrilled he was to be a part of the night.

This event differed in that it primarily featured solos and duets from the Dessoff Chamber Choir rather than the full ensemble. This format required a different photographic approach—more close-ups, focused angles, and an emphasis on individual expressions.

All in all, it was a night that demanded keen attention to detail, both from the performers and from me. A fantastic start for The Dessoff Choirs' centennial year, and a rich experience to capture through my lens.
