The Creative Bridal Session

Bride on Horseback

The creative bridal session is a perfect way for a bride/couple/bridal party to show their true character.  This session is usually planned out with respect to location(s), types of images, props, etc…but on the day of, anything can happen depending on what the surroundings provide.  We just had a wonderful leisure bridal party shoot this past weekend in Philadelphia and we are super excited to share the images once they are edited. Check back soon for some more work.  In the meantime, if you are a bride to be, let us know if you have any questions about this type of shoot.  If you know a bride to be, share this with them.

New York Subway: Abandoned City Hall Station

Awhile back, John-Paul Palescandolo, one of this site’s contributors went on a tour of some abandoned subway sections of New York City.  Becoming a member of New York Transit Museum is a great opportunity for those who have further interest in this area of history.

John-Paul ended up with a wonderful original capture of the main archway of the Old City Hall station stop, with all of the vibrantly-colored tilework, except for one problem – there was a wooden ramp in view, something that he had no control over.  Well, he did what any good photographer would do, which is try to get the best possible shot anyway.

Difficult lighting situation here – Canon EOS 5D using the Canon 24/1.4L @ ISO 400.  Image was captured hand-held at about 1/15 sec.
After the RAW processing, we come away with an image that is technically quite good.  Here you are:
