I realized that the term ''emerging photographer'' applies to where I am at this stage.
As a young man perhaps better to say teenager, I had the opportunity to work at Hiro Studios
here in New York City as a summer intern. It was there that I learned my way around the dark room and was able to experience the glamor and excitement of a shoot.
However, during l my free time I took to the streets with my Pentax.
Walking through Central Park photographing people, their surroundings, anything that caught my eye. Little did I know at the time that what I was practicing was street photography.
Later on my professional career was advertising production. Particularly print production.
Although not photography, I worked in tandem with photographers and retouchers to create
the best final images that were to appear on the page.
When digital phased out print, I decided to get back to my true passion....photography.
Here I am again on the streets of New York City. Enjoying the independence, the discovery and the people. Hopefully continuing to “emerge” as a photographer.
Recently, I have shown at the Treviso Photography Festival, as well as the ArtBoxy exhibit in Soho.
I received a Single Image Award in Black & White magazine’s special 2022 issue.
I was an integral part and exhibitor with Art on the Ave NYC. An initiative conceived to display art and photography in the vast amount of vacant store fronts. Street facing windows on The Upper West Side of Manhattan, Greenwich Village and Downtown Manhattan were transformed into galleries that rejuvenated their respective neighborhoods.
