Capturing the $10k+ aesthetic isn't just about the location; it’s about the medium and the final object. In this video, I’m showing the result of a high-stakes portrait session in Central Park during the peak cherry blossom bloom—a window of time as exclusive as the clients themselves.
For the photographers curious about the "Hybrid" workflow: this is how I blend the organic, editorial soul of analog film with the precision of digital to create a product that justifies a luxury price tag. We’re looking at a custom-bound, leather wedding album that moves beyond "social media content" and into the realm of a fine-art heirloom.
Not an ad. For the gear heads: The film portions were shot on a @LeicaCameraGlobal M6 and M3 using @Kodak Portra 400. My digital kit is a @Nikon D850 with a vintage 35mm lens and a @profoto strobe. Camera RAW workflow is done with @Photoshop @Adobe
What are you guys shooting for your luxury books this year?👇🏽p
Witness, don't polish ✨
What’s Inside:
The Hybrid Edge: Why I still shoot film for high-end NYC weddings and elopements.
