My studio/office is located in the Bushwick/East Williamsburg area in Brooklyn (NYC). Generally, my travel range is limited to the NYC area (Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn) areas accessible by the MTA subway system. However, if you are outside of this area, or your specific project requires full studio setup on location - I'd be happy to arrange an alternative travel method (Uber, Lyft, etc.), and the cost will be added to your invoice as the travel fee. The travel fee generally starts at $100 and goes up based on distance.

My availability is dependent on daily scheduled projects. So it can be a bit hectic. However, my shooting hours usually fall between 7 am and 9 pm.

(If your timing needs fall outside of this window, I'd be happy to discuss specific details and possibilities for your project)

I am available for customer support communications from Monday through Friday, 10 am-6 pm. All phone calls have to be pre-scheduled as I do not take or make calls while working with other clients. Still, I'm mainly available to communicate via text or email during these hours.

I am also available on major holidays, But I do take occasional vacations. So if you are looking to book a shoot over the holidays, please get in touch with me in advance to discuss the specific arrangements.

I specialize in portrait photography and everything remotely connected to the field - headshots, lifestyle, editorial, commercial, corporate, etc.

That being said, I am always up for new challenges, and over the years, I have collaborated and still continue to work with a variety of clients on different projects such as - Interior/architecture, documentary/event, and still life.

Yes, all final photos are professionally edited in Lightroom by me.

Please note that only Premium Session includes retouching services.

Editing:

The general editing process includes the following adjustments: exposure, color, saturation, straightening, alignment, shadow and highlight correction, clarity/detail, sharpening, cropping, and color grading (my custom color and black & white filters).

Retouching:

If you require more specific and detailed Photoshoshop retouching, for example (an object or background removal or replacement, bracketing, glamour services - skin, hair and wardrobe cleanup, etc.); We can discuss this before or right after the shoot during the selection process and will be added as an additional retouching fee, $120 per image (depending on the retouching complexity).

This generally varies from shoot to shoot. It really depends on the length of the shoot and deliverable image count. Still, typically it will be anywhere from 10 to 15 business days as a standard. In most cases, final photos for the basic shoots are ready for delivery within 3-5 days. Larger projects that require more comprehensive editing and retouching will take longer. Also, please note that the final photos will be delivered only after the final invoice is paid in full.

All my sessions are a minimum of one hour; however, you may use as much or as little of that hour as you choose! Depending on the project circumstances, the maximum time I can spend on a project is around 7-8 hours. If you require more coverage, I would be happy to discuss the specifics of your project.

Even though, for now, I only offer digital files, I think it is essential for photographs to be printed, to have them in their intended physical form, and on occasion, I do recommend and offer prints to my clients. I use a few different printing services, from conventional to framed gallery-quality prints. Prices vary depending on the quality and size of the prints. Let me know If you are interested, and I will be happy to discuss adding the prints to your package.

I only provide still photography for now.

I've been surrounded by arts my entire life, growing up in a family of musicians. I studied classical music as a child. While fascinated by visual arts, I got into art school at age 15, studied painting, and moved to New York right after graduating. Even as a kid, I was always drawn to the camera. I was always the first to volunteer to take family photos and document our precious memories. That attraction never left. I always carried my point and shoot camera around, mainly to take reference photos for my paintings; eventually, I felt that I could express myself better with the medium of photography, so I bought a professional DSLR camera in 2011 and started shooting portraits and headshots in my home studio while learning various thicks and techniques by working with and assisting other already established and experienced photographers. Since then, I've been a freelance photographer, and over the last decade, I have had the pleasure of working with many unique and inspiring individuals, brands, startups, publications, artists, models, and creatives alike.

For brands and commercial clients - All payments can be made online or with a check.

Being Late:

- I am often booked back-to-back, and I also try to keep my daily schedule filled with other projects and activities, so there is rarely any extra room with regards to being able to extend your photoshoot past its scheduled time. So if you show up late, this will shorten your session, and you must let me know that you are running late with the ETA. If you are 30 minutes late for one hour shoot, Unfortunately, I will have to consider that shoot canceled. And you will forfeit all payments made towards it. If there are some extreme circumstances and you need to reschedule your shoot, this can also be arranged (please read below).

Rescheduling:

- If you have to reschedule, please let me know by no less than 72 hours from the scheduled shoot time. There is no extra charge for the date and time you would like to reschedule. The new appointment will depend on my current availability.

Cancellations:

- It is better to reschedule instead of canceling. Even if you are unsure of the exact date and time, I can always pencil you in for some future available dates. Unfortunately, you will forfeit all payments made towards your session if you still have to cancel the scheduled shoot.

- Also, I will reimburse you the full deposit in the improbable event I have to cancel the shoot.
