A Visual Feast For The Eyes Served Fresh Daily

A little bit of Brian

Thank you for visiting my Photo Blog. I hope you enjoy your stay and welcome your return.

I am a commercial architecture photographer, writer, and lover of all things social media. When I am not out photographing the ever-shifting trends of exterior and interior design, I am roaming around and exploring the city to capture the forgotten corners and loose ends that so often get overlooked.

I have spent the past several years learning and mastering the use of High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging to provide my photos with a level of realism not normally captured with conventional photography. I am the author of monthly columns on ProPhotoResource and Lensflare35, where I shares tips, tricks, and techniques to gain the most out of HDR photography. I am also an editor at 'HDR Spotting', the leading gallery/resource dedicated to showcasing HDR images.

My images have been published in a variety of news and magazine publications, as well as displayed in various art galleries in Boston, MA and New York, NY. Some of my work has gained media recognition and has been published in the Boston Globe, the Improper Bostonian, and several online Photography and Travel Blogs. I was also the winner of the 2008 and 2009 Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk Contests for the cities of Boston, MA (2008) and Brooklyn, NY (2009), and was featured as the Boston Globe’s ‘Photographer of the Week’. I was most recently featured as the Lightroom Featured Photographer in the July/August issue of Photoshop User Magazine, put out by the National Association of Photoshop Professionals.

For a little bit of my biography – I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY but currently live in Framingham, MA with my wife, Lisa, and two dogs, Zilla and Chaca.

I was hustling it over to meet up with my buddy, Peter, for a day of shooting in NYC when I noticed this building facade. It is pretty clear why I made it a point to Peter after meeting up with him that we needed to make our way back here to shoot it. There is so much character here, so much going on with it. Vertical lines, diagonal lines, wavy lines, color shifts, changes in texture… it’s got everything that I look for. I was really happy with how this shot turned out and it was a lesson proved through experience that if you think there is a scene worth trekking back to, it will usually pay back with dividends.
