Just found the cover of @brooklynmagazine I shot with @eleanoronly. What a lovely day in #Brooklyn with one of my favorite #musicians. #Sony #portraits #makeportraits #music #sonyalpha #a7rii (at Greenpoint, Brooklyn)

Last month I had a fantastic shoot with TD Ameritrade in Miami. I worked along side Greenpoint Pictures, a creative and very talented production company based in Brooklyn. The creative and agency folks were on point and the shoot went very smoothly. We were shooting in an 15th century Monastery that had been brought over from Spain by WR Hearst in the early 1900′s but somehow never made it out to California and was rebuilt in Miami instead. While we were setting up we found a closet full of costumes and we used a couple during the light test. 

The campaign should run in the next month or so and I really can’t wait to see the final video pieces from Greenpoint, in the meantime I needed something to post on social media so I put up one of the light test shots and well....my friends and colleagues have taken matters into their own hands....

In the next post I’ll put up the cut out image that everyone’s been using... feel free to make your own and post it to the facebook thread.... or just post it anywhere and tag me, I’d love to see what you make! 

Thanks to Eric Kayne, Matt Slaby and Scott Bort for making all my wishes come true!

FeatureShoot Interview!

I got featured on www.featureshoot.com today! They interviewed me about my career, my work and working with Sony as an Artisan of Imagery. I don’t get interviewed all that often so this makes me pretty happy!

Wifey got a new tattoo today by Daniel Cotte at SENA in NYC. Its an ancient Chinese poem by Li Bai called “Quiet Night Thoughts” her father read to her when she was a girl. I filmed her father writing the characters and I filmed Daniel tattooing her. One day I’ll get around to editing it into a very short film.

It's been a hard few years and man my body is really feeling it. I feel like an 85 year old man! I love taking #bathroomselfies too! So fun. #creepy #masks #week of fun #thisismf30 #jens30thbday @cutetastrophe #oldman #oldmanmask #iphone #selfportrait #iphoneonly #makeportraits (at Alpine Loft)

Messing around with some star pictures at our little cabin in the woods. Its my wifey’s 30th bday and we got way out of the city. Star pictures are fun. Tomorrow is the meteor shower so I was making sure I could focus on something that is a few thousand light years away.  #thisismf30

Who doesn’t love a woman in a banana suit? Eh? Eh? Eh?

My first star shot. I can’t believe I’ve been a photographer for something like 12 years and this is the first time I pointed the camera up. Weird.

The beginning of a week of weird pictures of my wife during her 30th birthday week. Fun with fruit.

On a happier note.... I'm at a cabin in the middle of nowhere with @cutetastrophe for her 30th birthday and I just took my first picture of #stars. #sonyalpha #sonyrx100 #rx100m4 #rx100 #birthday #wifey #peaceforparis #thinkingofparis #wishuponastar (at Alpine Loft)

A week from now seven years ago several teams of radical Muslim terrorists from Pakistan attacked the city I lived in killing more than 145 people at restaurants, hotels, a train station and a Chabad Jewish center. I was right in the middle of it photographing for the @nytimes with @danpepper and @prashanthvishwanathan. I will never forget how terrible those few days were. I will never forget the blood in the streets and the people who died. This attack in #Paris was an almost identical copy of the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. My heart goes out to Paris, France and everyone who was touched by these insane people. #fuckterrorism #prayforparis #2611 #mumbai #photojournalism (at Hotel Taj, Mumbai)

Hanging out with some #wolves and #wifey at the Lakota Wolf Sanctuary in #jersey. There were also a ton of hobbiest nature #photographers, it was like being in the scrum at #fashionweek. #toomanypeople (at Lakota Wolf Preserve, Columbia, New Jersey)
