Photography Tip for Portraits (Underrated Location in NYC)
Make your photographs pop with natural lighting! The balance of light is extremely important in creating a great and interesting photograph. It is recommended that a photographer schedules a photo shoot during the time that is before dusk. It will provide a golden sheen to your portraits and make them look ethereal.
A brownstone is an iconic location in NYC that is underrated for any photoshoot. The architecture of a brownstone is classic, and the symmetry of the entry way has a certain elegance. The array of different colors makes an unique backsplash in the background.

Claudio’s Barbershop - Spanish Harlem, NYC - 2012
Claudio’s was a legendary shop in Harlem until his landlord kicked him out after 50 years to make room for a higher paying tenant (Chinese take-out restaurant). What a shame.
From my photo book “Barbershops of America”
