“For the first few years, I found myself photographing anything that came my way. It started with my modeling friends, then my first commercial job shooting sneakers for Reebok, and next, actors in need of headshots. I even had a little stint on Donald Trump’s The Apprentice, shooting for Levi’s. I was milking my camera for everything it was worth, but my headshot work always garnered me the most attention. My signature style of chopping off the tops of people’s heads on a clean white background in landscape format became all the rage, and I was recognized numerous times by Backstage magazine as the best headshot photographer in New York.
In 2011 I founded Headshot Crew, my referral and coaching platform for headshot photographers worldwide that is now more than 13,000 strong. Having a strong desire to document my theory on photographing people I authored my first book The Headshot, which shot to a #1 best seller on on Amazon upon it’s release in 2015.”
