This fall I started to work with Agency Model Management. My first shoot was with Courtney. We shot around Wall St. near the end of the day so we only had an hour or so before we lost all light. Here are the photos, hope you enjoy

Here is another shoot I did with a model from BMG Models. Kira was a new model from BMG but she was all professional and knew what to do. Here are the photos

I shot Dimi in the lower east side late in the afternoon. He was easy to work with. I didn’t have to give him any direction. Once the camera was out he knew what to do. Here are the photos.

Meghan- BMG Models

This summer I was on a test shoot kick. Every week I was doing 2-3 photo shoot. One of those shoots was with Meghan from BMG. We shot in Soho and Chinatown early in the morning. Here are the photos.

Kenzie- Bmg Models

Here is another shoot I did with one of the models from BMG. I shot Kensie in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Shooting there can be interesting cause after awhile everything looks the same. So you need to know what to look for in terms of background and plus you have too many hipsters getting in your way.

We shot in the afternoon when the light was just right.

But here are the photos.

Xombie press release

Here is a press release photo for the boys at Xombie. Did this shoot a few months back in the lower east side. This was one of my favorite places to shoot until they redid the whole block. Before it was all gritty with cobble stone streets. Now its a sidewalk…what a shame.

Oliva- BMG Models

Here is a another shoot I did with a model from BMG. I shot Olivia cause she had a different look to her and wanted to add my spin to her. We shot around the lower east side early in the morning. We went around Chinatown, Lower East Side and Soho getting different looks and different locations. She was great to work with an on point. Here are the shots and let me know what you think

Peace Protest

During the spring there was a huge peace protest that went from Union Square to City Hall. I got there by chance and started to snap away. It was the same type of crowd that I had saw in the Occupy Wall Street. Most of the protesters were peaceful and weren’t trying to start a commotion but there were a few in the crowd who were looking to piss of the cops. Too bad the cops weren’t around when they acting up to show them how the NYPD handles these hooligans.

Johnathan- BMG Models

In the summer I was doing tons of test shoots. I was mainly working with BMG models a lot. One of the models I worked with was Johnathan. He was easy to work with, like most of their models. We shot around Soho in the afternoon where the lighting was perfect. Yes there were tons of people walking by but I picked the spots where there would be less people around.

Here are the photos, hope you like.

Occupy Wall Street

stevezak — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 14:07:25 +0000

This summer all the unemployed and/or rich kids decided to make a statement by taking over a park in Wall St. Everyone was talking about it so I deiced to head down there and take some photos.

First thing I noticed was the horrible smell. These little bastards have not showered in weeks. It was completely disgusting. Then as your walking thru the place your afraid you might step on someone cause people were just sleeping in whatever space was available.

There was no unified message on what the protest was about. You had socialist, commies, anarchists and just the plain old idiots who wanted attention.

But in the end I came out with some pretty good
