I captured this image on my first day of my Varanasi workshop sponsored by tumbhi.com. What is amazing to see is how connected Indians are to the river Ganges. Time stops and the only thing that exists is the connection between the river and their spirit.

 

The image was captured by a Nikon D-4 iso 4000 with a 80-400 mm Nano coated VR II lens using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) Shot on Lexar 128 gigabyte 1000 speed UDMA Flash media. file was post processed using capture NX 2.0 software, Nik Color Efex 4.0.

AND.....another one of my old working headshot portfolios from way back in the day when there was some art involved vs. today where it has evolved to something that is a cross between a passport photo and a yearbook picture. This is another one of the "character theatrical" headshots of the actor Brian Sannet. I love this shot.

  

I shot this with a Nikon 6006s my Uncle CJ gave as a graduation present from USC a Nikkor 70-210Dmm lens, a Westcott Sunlight reflector, and Iford HP5+ rated at 200iso Scanned with an Epson V850 and Silverfish software.

Whilst the Facebook world is pelting us with infinite amounts of amazing photographs of the solar eclipse....

  

Now for something completely different

  

More from my way back in the day when there was some art and skill involved shooting headshots vs. today where it has evolved to something that is a cross between a passport photo, DMV and a yearbook picture rant.

  

This is of the actor David Breitbart. What an amazing actor, of the best I ever worked with.

From my recent PBPW Cuba workshop. Some more Chromatic Grayscale. I am absolutely fascinated by gesture. Jay Maisel said "Light, gesture and color are the key components of every photography. Light and color are obvious but it is gesture that is the most important, the most telling." Thank you Jay for teaching me one of the greatlessons of photography.

This is image was also shot on my first day out in Havana during my Palm Beach Photographic Centre's Cuba workshop. 4000iso. Walk in the park. I converted this image using the cording technique (multiple plug-in layers balanced for red, green and blue) I am beginning to work wit onOne's BW software and must admit it shows great promise for the future. (more on that as I get better with it)

I thought I was going to hate mirror-less shooting. I like looking through a lens and seeing reality not a TV screen. HOWEVER I carry the V-1 with me where ever I go. I always have a camera. So This is the lie in the truth. I cannot imagine a future that is not 100% mirrorless for me.

 

I was walking in Trinidad Cuba. When I came upon a tower at the top of the tallest building in Trinidad at sunset. Which means a really long rickety ladder. I had to make a decision, what is going up with me and what is staying. D800 modified for IR (Duh....) AND D600, D800 or V1. V1 was the winner. This lil' bad boy continually impresses me.

  

It was captured with a Nikon V1 camera using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) file was post processed using capture NX 2.0 software and Photoshop CS6 using NiKColorefex 4 and Viveza 2.

From my recent PBPW Cuba workshop. This is from the third day I was allowed the joy of shooting with the Nikon D5. Just walking the street in Havana.

 

There is no image I cannot capture. The ability of this camera to shoot in lighting conditions so dark that you have to to image that there is light to provide illumination. Spot on color, speed touch screen focus in live view. Whoa.....

 

Because of the D5 I AM: A Super Hero.

I shot this image on my second day of my February 2015 Palm Beach Photographic Workshop to Cuba. This image was shot in Havana. (There are two spots left for my March 21-29 workshop. www.workshop.org/travel.php) I only brought two cameras to the workshop and three lenses. The cameras the amazing Nikon D750 and and a Nikon D800 modified (by lifepixel.com) to capture infrared.

 

The Lenses were the equally amazing and versatile Nikkor 28-300mm (AKA "the Street sweeper), Nikkor 24-120mm Nano and the Nikkor 80-400mm Nano coated lenses.

 

This image was captured with my Nikkor 80-400mm and my modified D800 infrared camera.

Jay Maisel once quipped "I fall in a 1000 times a day at a 1/250th of a second. I apparently do not believe in long relationships or long exposures." For me the most successful portraits are the ones where you photograph the person where they hide. You see the moment of innocence that each of us holds within.

 

This is the second image of of a young Cuban girl posing during her Quinceañera. I was walking by and she was just standing outside the hotel whilst the party was going on. The image was captured by a Nikon D-800 camera modified for infrared with a 28-300 mm VR II lens

CHROMATIC GRAYSCALE VERSION

 

Second post processed image from my “Marilyn Monroe” shoot with Stephanie Stuart arguably the Best Marilyn Monroe impersonator in the country.

 

In 1962 Nikon released the Nikon "F". Not only did Nikon release the camera they released it with a slew of lenses and accessories. Over 800,000 Nikon "F" cameras were sold. In 1962 Nikon ran an ad campaign that featured Marylin Monroe shot by Bert Stern. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXixgkR3II) Sadly it would also be her last photo shoot.

 

What I wanted to do was celebrate the shoot using the tech of today. Soooooo you will be seeing a lot of images from the shoot we did on the deck of my studio.

  

I am a big believer in getting it as close to completely right in the camera as reality allows. What I was able to do with the combo of the sunbounce cage and hive lights was magic. We shot video during the shoot to discuss how to do conversational portraiture using the D850.First post processed image from my “Marilyn Monroe” shoot with Stephanie Stuart arguably the Best Marilyn Monroe impersonator in the country.

This is an image from my most recent trip to PBPW Cuba. The image you are seeing are part of a greater project, a book serries titled "Turning the Last Page." The title of the Cuba project is "Cuba: Turning the Last Page of 1962."

The camera was the fabulous Nikon D500. The lens was 18-300mm DX"street sweeper II" lens. To make sure we are all on the same page, there are always two aspects to every shoot. "The Shoot" itself and the post processing to final art. This image contains both aspects and is the outcome of the post processing this is a copy of that final file.

For "the shoot" aspect of this project no artificial light, no make-up on the subjects, no reflectors or diffusers all of the images are spontanious none of the subjects are posed. So what you are seeing is (from the shoot aspect) just the lens. Just the camera. Just the light that was there. Just the subject

  

My goal every time I shoot is to be the weakest linkn the entire project.

  

This image of a dog that decided to pose for me whilst walking the streets of Havanaa.

  

When asked what is the best light W. Eugene Smith said "Why the best light is available light and by available light I mean any damn light that is available."..... This approach to lighting Works for me.

I have always held that the lens is the brush, the camera sensor is the canvas. I have also held the that the beauty of a lens is not in how well it handles focus but rather how well it handles from in focus to blur.

  

There is no image I cannot capture. There is no image in which my vision of the image and the beauty of moment that took me that is not enhanced by the beauty of the glass and lens design of the Nikon system.

  

So you want to know why I choose Nikon? Now you know.

Because of my Nikon camera- I AM: A Super Hero. Because of the Nikkor lenses I AM: A Super Hero with tack sharpnes at point of focus and beautiful Bokeh every place else in the image.

  

NOTE: I do indeed use Photoshop. It's true. Have been since version 1. when it fit on a single floppy disc. Most inspired piece of software ever written. I was employee number 2 of Niksoftware ( Colorefex, SilverEfex) and employee number 6 of Altamira Group (the inventor of Genuine Fractals) so yes I do also use plug-ins. So if you are viewing an image (unless otherwise noted) on my personal pages, website and sundry feeds they are all post processed if I put them up.

To be very crystal clear ALL of my images that I post on my personal web feeds are post processed.

So that this non issue is no issue these are my "FINAL" versions on my PERSONAL sites. Because it is my personal page I do reserve the right to delete comments from angry photographic charlatan internet trolls.

I always make it a point, If you read the full description of any of my images, to always list the software and hardware used to produce an image.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

  

– Sir Terry Pratchett

  

Light is the jewel of the photograph and the subject should be approached as if it is interrupting the beautiful light. Light should be thought of and approached as it is aas tangible a thing as the subject itself. But dark us just as important to an image as light and should be treated with the same care and respect as one treats light.

  

I love photographing Cuba. I love the physicality of the their expression. This image is of the balirino Marco Hinder Vincent. Light moves an inch every two minutes and this is the light reflecting off a 4th floor balcony glass French door that moments later the dweller of the apartment closed. Ya take what ya get and are thankful of the gift.

  

Color and BW versions

  

This is the second image from my latest trip to Cuba. WHAT A BLAST that was. I shot this image withe new Nikon Zf a very fun camera to shoot and the 135mm f1.8 Plena lens. An exquisitely beautify piece of glass to work with. The Zf is the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and the Plena is just a visual pleasure to look through wilst I shoot.

This is of the one of my favorite people to photograph the actress Spnya Maddox-Upchurch. Sonya was/is also an extrodinay make-up stylist. Back in the day she did the make-up for many of the actresses I shot during my career.

There are times in life when people must know when not to let go. Balloons are designed to teach small children this.

 

—Sir Terry Pratchett

 

I am not by proclivity an early riser. When I was in art school I frequently was head off to bed when others were getting up to go to work. That said when I am “on the job” and in the “hairball” of photographing, I am like dark. Which is always there to see the light arrive.

 

I was captured by this walking to coffee in Trinidad. Cuba is great for many things and coffee is not one of them.

 

I use primarily when I do street photography either the 28-300mm Nikkor lens when I shot DSLR and the 24-200mm Z series for mirrorless shooting. The is is simply this: I have found that I am always walking into a moment unfolding that is farther away than a nifty fifty or a 32mm is all ya’ need lens is good for. I never crop an image all of my images are full frame.

 

So having reach and pulling focus in as I move toward the moment increases the quality and quality of the “take”. Simple as that.

 

I love photographing the part of the spirit that people hide that they let be seen when they think no one is looking. the moment of a breath held expectant.

I shot this image of the lovely Sierra at our Key West stop transiting to Cozumel during my Vanelli&Friends cruise as the guest instructor. I captured this with the D7200 and my go to lens the 28-300mm AKA "The Street Sweeper". I have a very tough job. But someone has to do it.

Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise.

  

– George Gershwin

  

It is the absolute spontaneity of the moment that gives a photograph that it is the moment between moments on the way to the next moment that creates the sensation of motion that is frozen time.

  

This is another image of the trumpet player Rolando Lara.

  

This image was captured with the Nikon Zf and the 135mm f1.8 Plena Nikkor. The Zf is the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and Nikkor optics are just a visual pleasure to look through wilst I shoot. Nobody does In focus to blur as well as Nikon does.

  

WHAT A BLAST this last workshop to Cuba was.

More from my way back in the day when there was some art and skill involved shooting headshots vs. today where it has evolved to something that is a cross between a passport photo, DMV and a yearbook picture rant.

 

This is the headshot of the actress Marcia Cross. If ever there wa a person that I hope gets everything they deserve it is her. The best way to describe her presence and spirit is "precious" and a "gift"

.

I shot this with a Nikon F5 a Nikkor 70-210Dmm lens, a Westcott Sunlight reflector, and Iford HP5+ rated at 200iso. I reshot the negative with a bellows and the D810 and Silverfast software.

There is no image I cannot capture. The ability of this camera to shoot in lighting conditions so dark that you have to to image that there is light to provide illumination. Spot on color, speed touch screen focus in live view. Whoa.....

'hhHands give clues to the entire personality of the subject's moods, attitude, tension. — Yousef Karsh

  

My grandfather Pasquale use to quip that all you ever need to to to shut up an Italian was to make them sit on their hands. Hands are as communicative, sometimes even more than, the expression on the face of the subject of a portrait. I am completely captivated by hands.

  

One thing to keep in mind is I never pose any of my subjects. Be it in the studio or when I am doing street photography. All my images are “found” of the moment and absolutely spontaneous.

  

I am not sure which I prefer the color or the black and white. But this hand truly do tell a story of a life.

  

WHAT A BLAST this last workshop was. I shot these images with the new Nikon Zf a very fun camera to shoot and the 135mm Plena lens just Whoa. Bokeh is my thing. An exquisitely beautify piece of glass to work with. I fell in love with it and kinda for got to switch lenses, it’s just that pretty and just that useful. The Zf is now the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and Nikkor optics are just a visual pleasure to look through whilst I shoot. Nobody does In focus to blur as well as Nikon does.

Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time.

― Ornette Colman

  

Music and photography are to Cuba like a kiss is to a hug. Each is intertwined with the other. I can be argued and rightly so that the origins of Jazz come from a migration of Afro-Cubans in 1886.

  

The tradition of photography in Cuba finds its roots in the way the story of the Cuban revolution was told to the people of Cuba, through photography. The echos of those traditions ripple through time to today.

  

WHAT A BLAST this last workshop was. I shot these images with the new Nikon Zf a very fun camera to shoot using the BW mode. and the 50mm f1.2 lens. Bokeh is my thing. Another exquisitely beautify piece of glass to work with. The Zf is the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and Nikkor optics are just a visual pleasure to look through wilst I shoot.

From my recent PBPW Cuba workshop. This time I was allowed the joy of shooting with the Nikon D5. I am being told about the wonderfully powerful holistic herbal blends he makes. I guess he doesn't have holistic dental floss. Lighting was that light that decided to join us for the shoot

 

So so if you want to know why I choose to light with a thermonuclear device instead do a battery powered light source. Now you know.

However...... There is no image I cannot capture. The ability of this camera to shoot in lighting conditions so dark that you have to to image that there is light to provide illumination. Spot on color, speed touch screen focus in live view. Whoa..... Because of the D5 I AM: A Super Hero.

First post processed image from my “Marilyn Monroe” shoot with Stephanie Stuart arguably the Best Marilyn Monroe impersonator in the country. I am a big believer in getting it as close to completely right in the camera as reality allows. What I was able to do with the combo of the sunbounce cage and hive lights was magic. We shot video during the shoot to discuss how to do conversational portraiture using the D850.First post processed image from my “Marilyn Monroe” shoot with Stephanie Stuart arguably the Best Marilyn Monroe impersonator in the country.

I shot this image after having traveled on the worst road ever on the entire planet. To say this was a terrible road was to give bad roads a bad name. We were on this road for 8 and a half hours. We were on our way to the Chin state located in the Himalaya mountain range. This young girl was sitting on the steps of her home watching us as we scraped ourselves out of the car.

This image was shot on my very first day in Cuba ever with the D600 inside an old warehouse that housed the Sunday market. I shot this at 4000iso. I am still blown away that we expect this as an everyday thing that Nikon cameras just do. Not just the top of the line flagship D4 but the "pro-sumer' Advanced amateur cameras too. I took this camera with me because size and weight were issues. I could get away with 2.5 cameras. (The V1 is the .5) So I know I need high ISO and I know I want as big a file as I can get. D800 is out, 800iso is as high as I want to go, D4 can go so high on ISO that all you need do is wish that there was light. But nothing says "HEY!!! I'M A PHOTOJOURNALIST PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER!" better than a D4. AND it is heavy. I am allowed 44 lbs. TOTAL weight, both for my carry on and checked bag. Traditionally my camera bag weighs 64 Lbs and my computer bag weighs in at 39 Lbs. So we know I will be wearing the same clothes and doing a lot of laundry at the hotel.

 

D800IR is going for sure. V1 is going for stealth capabilities. So that leaves which of the full spectrum cameras? Only one choice D600. 24mp 4000iso.

 

To put a finer point on this image and the others I will be posting here, there was no artificial light whatsoever in this space. All of the light was ambient. It was also a very overcast day and threatening to rain. The use of strobes was completely out of the question. These images were about being captured by the moment as things unfold at the speed of life. Nothing puts an end to spontaneity quicker in moments like these than a high intensity short burst of very bright light in a really dark room. What is also lost is the beauty of the light. Besides I prefer to light using a thermonuclear device than something that is battery powered. I am a bit butch when it comes to how I light I guess....

  

This image was captured by a Nikon D600camera. 28-300mm VR II lens in the Nikon Electronic Image File Formant (.NEF) ISO is 4000. file was post processed using Capture NX2 Photoshop CS6, Nik Color Efex 4.0.
