I wanted to post this last shot from my 2017 equestrian shoot which I think was one of the best of the day. I really love how the model and horse look in this shot with the deep green in the background framing them. It was a momentous day with me, my camera and my wife who was lugging around my lighting gear. There has been plenty of talk between my sweetie and myself to get out there and do some more equestrian shoots in 2018. I think I would really like to pursue more p...hoto shoots like this as it was a good challenge for me as it took me out of my comfort zone from working in the studio. So here is to 2017 and all the challenges that came about as I look forward to an even more challenging 2018 with plenty more fun photo shoots to come! Thanks for checking out my last post of 2017 and may everybody have a healthy and joyous new year!!! #horse #horses #beautifulhorse #horsey #horsebook #horsesoffacebook #horsebackriding #horsephotography #horses_of_facebook #horselover #horselove #facebookhorse beautifulmodel #kevinstarksphotography #websternewyorkphotographer #upstatenewyorkphotographer #ontarionewyorkphotographer See more

I really wanted to share a couple more photos from the equestrian shoot that I did earlier this year so here is one of them. This is a shot I took next to a barn of this crazy beautiful horse and her rider. It blows me away every time I see it. The horse and rider really own this space that is now a picture frozen in time. How cool is that?? Can't stop loving photography and the images I have been able to capture. I really hope to get more photoshoots in that involve ho...rse and rider in my future projects. This was an extremely fun photoshoot and would encourage fellow photographers to get out there and go for broke with a horse and rider photoshoot.

Here is a shoot I did recently of a gorgeous horse and her beautiful rider. I hadn't photographed a horse before so I didn't know what to expect. The rider was in such amazing control of the horse that any pose I wanted was quickly achieved and made the shoot effortless. Got more pics on the way and really looking forward to getting more horse shoots under my belt as it was really fun. So yes, more photographic horsing around comin up!!! #horse #horses #beautifulhorse #horsey #horsebook #horsesoffacebook #horsebackriding #horsephotography #horses_of_facebook #horselover #horselove #facebookhorse beautifulmodel #kevinstarksphotography #websternewyorkphotographer #upstatenewyorkphotographer #ontarionewyorkphotographer

Red White and Blue !!! With the fourth of July fast approaching I am gonna have to include the white of the shirt in my shot title! Loving colored gels and what you can do with them. I think filling the room with colors is one of the greatest things you can do with your strobes for creating interesting light. Hope everybody has a great up and coming 4th of July !!! #coleredgels #paintingwithcolor #colormoods #fashionphotographer #fashionshoot #fashioneditorial #fashionmagazin...e #fashionmodel #fashionph #vogue #fashiongram #fashiondiaries #topmodel #modeloftheday #modelfashion #modelsworld #testshoot #testshoots #newface #facesobsessed #endlessfaces #highfashion #glamourshots #portraits #portrait #portraits_ig #pixel_ig #portraiture #expofilm3k #portrait_perfection #modelsofinstagram #glamourshot #glamourmodel #redwhiteandblue #supportourtroops #happyfourth See more

Here is another from my most recent senior shoot that I know would make a great head shot for the yearbook. I love the smile and colors of her eyes playing off the dreamy background bokeh. There were so many photos to choose from for the yearbook that it made it a joy to narrow them down to the final stunning image. This was a super fun shoot and I could have literally stayed out all night trying to get the perfect shot. After all was said and done we got our shot in just a 2... 1/2 hour session with so many pics to choose from. Love those eyes and really believe this pic was a contender for the yearbook even though it didn’t make the cut.

Here is an actor's headshot I did where the actors face is dead straight facing and I really love how she is staring through the lens. I love expression but also love the lack of expression. It was truly a great shoot and I am so happy we got together on this rainy Saturday for some awesome shots!! #headshot #actor's_headshot #sony_alpha #A7rii #portraits #portrait

This is another shot from a recent senior photo session. Being a native Rochesterian and working at Eastman Kodak I can recall all the beautiful photography gracing the walls where I worked. I saw such great photographs every day and always wanted to pursue a career in photography. That still hasn’t changed. Even before I worked at Kodak, when I was young, I always had a camera and enjoyed taking photos of the people and places I visited. I really love being able to preserve... time in a photograph and being artistic with composition and form.

Here is a shoot I did earlier this year with an actor who was adding to her portfolio. The shoot was awesome and we got #oodlesofshots! We had such a good time this shoot and we worked in roughly 30 great photos in about 2 hours. I have some more shots on the way that I really liked and hope they contribute to her getting perhaps some work as an actor. She was very good at posing and those EYES!!! So it made my life easy. I have an invitation to work with her again so definitely something to look forward to.

This shot is from a recent senior photo session of one of my favorite subjects in the world. Watching your child grow into an amazing young adult is truly a gift like no other. Capturing those moments along the way should be a priority. Keep clickin people !!!

Here is another photo from a senior shoot I did last year, and it is one of my favorites. I love the expression as it has the look of a subject that is relaxed. Capturing people who don’t model for a living can be an uncomfortable experience for them, so I try to keep the shoot as relaxed and laid back as possible. I tend to get the best results just keeping the mood upbeat and by not being too serious as to keep that good relaxed vibe going. Something else I like is the ...shallow depth of field that I used to really bring the focus on the eyes of the subject and to wash away the background. The eyes really pop for me in this picture and for me as a photographer it is all about those eyes. This was a fun shoot and I really look forward to many more senior shoots in the future.

Here is another photo from my senior portrait photo shoot I had last year. This picture was one of my favorites from the shoot as it has a distinct personality to it. For me the image exudes strength and coolness in its essence. I really like this shot and its framing. I will be including a lot more of these types of shots when doing my senior portrait sessions in the future. I like to switch it up and move to different locations and also use different angles in my photograph...y. Getting a variety of different photos allows the senior be able to pick the images that they consider are the best from the shoot. One more photo on the way from the shoot that will be posting up soon. #senior #seniorpics #seniorphotography #seniors2017 #classof2017 #classof2017seniormodel #seniorportaits #classof17 #seniorphotos #senioryear #graduatingclass #college #portrait #grad #graduate #fashion #hair #style #seniormodel #seniormodel17 #seniorphotographer #seniorpictures #almostdone #senioryear #senior2k17 #2k17 #2017 #seniorpride #2017senior #senioritis #highschoolsenior #offtocollege #seniorrep #sosenior #seniorsallday #allgrownup #schoolpictures #lastschoolphotos #modelstatus #preview #sneakpeak #2017grad #seniorsunday #seniorsaturday#seniormalemodel2017 #seniormalemodel #hesasenior #handsome #seniormalerep #seniorstud #hemadeit #bowtie #hedidit #hesgraduating #suitedup #jock #seniorjock #footballplayer #seniorswag

Time to start a new year of photography and living life to its fullest. This is one of my senior portrait shoots that I would love to share a few images from. I love shooting young adults knowing that they have a whole life in front of them with plenty of dreams and aspirations. I love to capture the here and now knowing that the future is too fast approaching. Capturing the subject in the here and now in a way freezes time within a photograph which is one of the most int...eresting aspects of photography to me. Yeah, I love lighting, lenses and gear but when you come down to the main reason why I love photography here is what that is for me. It comes down to capturing the subject in the best light freezing moments and stopping that freight train of time and life and documenting the here and the now. I hope when we all look back at our senior portraits they make us smile and think of the times past and the memory of how we once were in the primes of our lives. Here is to our seniors and their dreams and may they fulfill most if not all of them! #senior #seniorpics #seniorphotography #seniors2017 #classof2017 #classof2017seniormodel #seniorportaits #classof17 #seniorphotos #senioryear #graduatingclass #college #portrait #grad #graduate #fashion #hair #style #seniormodel #seniormodel17 #seniorphotographer #seniorpictures #almostdone #senioryear #senior2k17 #2k17 #2017 #seniorpride #2017senior #senioritis #highschoolsenior #offtocollege #seniorrep #sosenior #seniorsallday #allgrownup #schoolpictures #lastschoolphotos #modelstatus #preview #sneakpeak #2017grad #seniorsunday #seniorsaturday#seniormalemodel2017 #seniormalemodel #hesasenior #handsome #seniormalerep #seniorstud #hemadeit #bowtie #hedidit #hesgraduating #suitedup #jock #seniorjock #footballplayer #seniorswag See more
