Keith Ferris Photo

Kate contacted me about modeling for stock to help build her fitness modeling portfolio. She’s new to modeling but not new to fitness. She was a college athlete and still works out regularly. We shot a few different concepts and got a ton of great shots. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Keith Ferris is a professional photography in the Hudson Valley about an hour and a half north of NYC. He is available for all types of photography assignments in his studio including fitness photography, model photography, actor headshots, musician portraits, artist portraits, editorial photography and much more.

Matt recently took up acting so he wanted to work on his portfolio. He contacted me in reference to a stock photography ad I had posted so we worked on some stock concepts in addition to some headshots for him. Overall he’s very versatile and outgoing so he makes a good model and I’m sure he’s pretty good on stage too.

The thinking man.

Stephanie has a lot of TV and print experience and wanted to update her portfolio. When we planned our shoot she knew what she wanted, a fresh new headshot with a casual look. I used the windows in my studio for some natural light portraits, then I set up the lights. We also took some photos with her twins and some for stock. Here’s three of my favorites.

Dhebora’s mother is a belly dancer so she wanted to do a bellydance themed shoot. She had never modeled before but I had the lights set up in advance so once she got there we were ready to go. She also came with her friend who’s a make up artist so that helped. Overall it was a great first shoot.

I met Scott through Lew, who is very connected in the local arts scene and knows lots of local actors. When I began planning the stock shoot with Scott he talked about his winter beard which he would have to shave for an upcoming production. I asked him what characters he could come up with and he ran with it. He was unbelievably versatile in creating and getting into character based on the wardrobe and theme.  It was a great shoot because I was able to use the lighting to accentuate the mood of the characters. In the end we were both very happy with the images we came up with. I look forward to working with Scott in the future to see what else we can come up with.
