One of the first photo shoots I did for a buddy once I finally bought my own strobes. Always been proud of how these turned out. Shane Brady was a great subject. #portrait #strobes #model #hockey #pain #rangers #ray #lightning

Took this picture almost 10 years ago using an old (1986) Soviet made Jupiter-9 85mm. Will always be one of my favorites. Shout out to the helicopter. #losangeles #canon7D #M42 #85mm #contrast #DTLA #helicopter #beauty #photography #streetphotography #downtown #bnw #blackandwhite #bnwphotography
