Vaughn and Alex’s Proposal – Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC

Vaughn contacted a few weeks ago via Reddit and asked if I would cover his proposal photos at the Lincoln Memorial. Yes. Heck yes. Proposal photoshoots are crazy and fun and pretty much the best things ever. No matter how well planned a proposal is, it can really go either way. Doing it at a monument kind of ramps that up! Lots of foot traffic, really crowded. There is no guarantee that light, location, weather, or tourists will cooperate. There’s literally no […]

July Talk at the Rock and Roll Hotel

July Talk is an awesome Canadian band blues-influenced rock band with a cool, unique sound. Members: Peter Dreimanis on guitar and vocals, singer Leah Fay, guitarist Ian Docherty, bassist Josh Warburton and drummer Danny Miles. How’d I describe them? It’s as if a young Tom Waits found his June Carter and started a grit-blues rock band, except June’s now an uninhibited, manic pixie who defines sexiness and cool. July Talk was touring with The Rural Alberta Advantage in support of […]

Covering Scena Theater: Press Photos for the Production of ‘Handbag’.

Scena Theater (website/Facebook/tickets) is a D.C. institution that has brought the District countless, wonderful productions. I covered their last production, Shining City, a powerful drama that kept me incredibly engaged the whole time. I recently did the press photography for their next production, Handbag. Directed by Robert McNamara and featuring Anne Nottage, Amanda Forstrom, Gray West, Edward C. Nagel, Robert Sheire, and Haely Jardas, Handbag is one helluva ride. It’s best to go in not knowing what to expect so I’ll leave it […]

Corey + Kelly’s Engagement Shoot

I’ve known Corey + Kelly for over a year now, we’re all members of the Northern Virginia Facial Hair Club, a local non-profit that raises money for charity and thinks that facial hair is cool (no beard needed to join!). They’re cool people and we were all overjoyed when they got engaged. 🙂 They asked me to be their engagement photographer, to which I totally said yes! Even better, they brought their dog Velvet along! Attached are a handful of […]

Against Me! at the 9:30 Club

Against Me! is awesome and their latest album Transgender Dysphoria Blues (Amazon Link), is just as great. This is their first album since Laura Jane Grace’s public coming out as transgender and you can hear a myriad of conflicting emotions as the album plays. I saw Against Me! this past May at Rams Head Live and it was probably the best show I have ever been to. The energy of the band and the crowd was celebratory, explosive, and entirely infectious. The bumps and […]

Covering Scena Theater: Press Photos for the Productions of ‘Shining City’ and ‘Molly’.

Scena Theater (website/Facebook/tickets) is a D.C. institution that has given the area dozens of wonderful productions. I was approached by the theater to provide press photography for two of this season’s plays: Shining City by Conor McPherson and the world premiere of Molly by George O’Brien. Shining City, directed by Robert McNamara and featuring Lee Ordeman, Ron Litman, Ellie Nicoll, and Kevin O’Reilly, is about a Dublin man who is convinced he sees the ghost of his dead wife and seeks the counsel of a psychologist […]

Anthony and Sarah’s Proposal Photoshoot – DC War Memorial, Washington, DC

This past week I was contacted via Reddit by Anthony. Anthony was planning to propose to his girlfriend Sarah and was looking for a photographer who would be able to cover the event. As we discussed the details it became clear that Anthony had planned out the entire night and that this assignment would be a bit difficult but very rewarding. A proposal photoshoot has a number of difficulties – the whole thing, no matter how well planned, is a […]

Sugar Blossom Cosplay as Black Cat

Sugar Blossom is a cosplayer in the Washington, D.C. area. She contacted me to do a shoot as Marvel’s Black Cat, a former burglar turned detective/super-hero (and dated Spider-Man for a period of time!). Though Sugar Blossom wanted the shoot to showcase Black Cat’s sexiness, shooting the character is kind of tricky – Black Cat is often hyper-sexualized with revealing outfits and incredibly seductive posing. We went with poses that were a bit more tame than how she is usually depicted and […]

The MetroTones and the Infinite Cheesiness.

The MetroTones are a top 40 cover band based in the Washington, D.C. area. Rebecca, Ryan, Paul, and John cover a really broad range of music with songs by the Beastie Boys, No Doubt, Prince, The Clash, 50 Cent, and more. They will be playing the NOVABrewFest in Loudoun this year and list their shows on their Facebook. Check them out! I shot the MetroTones yesterday to create a few promo photos. They had a very specific theme in mind – […]

Lauren Venezia as Black Canary

Lauren Venezia is a costume designer based in Richmond, Virginia. I stayed down for a few days to do two days of shooting with her. The first day was a brilliant cosplay she designed and made herself of DC Comics superheroine Black Canary. Black Canary is an expert in martial arts and Lauren has martial arts experience which you’ll see in one of the photos below (as well as the Canary Cry!). Cosplay shoots are super fun and working with Lauren […]
