Kol Studio

Natural-style photography themes are explored primarily with natural light, and leans toward Abercrombie-lifestyle-documentary images. This is the current I intuitively gravitate to, flow in and love.

I have a deep appreciation for the styles of Bruce Weber, Peter Lindbergh, Kurt Markus, Herb Ritts, Mario Sorrenti and others of the same frequency because their imagery deftly celebrates life that is aspiring and natural.

Pursing plastic, liquified imagery is not my cup of tea.

I've done photography professionally for over 20 years, and this includes destination nuptials in Europe, the Caribbean and across the United States. As a resident of New York's Catskills and mid-Hudson Valley, my studio includes the glorious outdoors--lakes, streams, fields, barns, horses, old cars, covered bridges and other tangibles and nuances--that give breath to projects unattainable in metro areas.

My goal on iStudio is to tap other creatives interested in collaborating on projects where all can learn and find motivation. Team members and models are treated with courtesy and upmost respect. I have a comfortable studio and access to numerous shooting locations in the Delaware/Hudson Valley region and metro NYC area. The George Washington Bridge is a 1.5 hour drive from my stumping ground.

Models: If we shoot be prepared to sign a model release: depending on the nature of the shoot, you will be given up to 4 of best images for your website within two weeks of the shoot. Absolutely no raw unedited images are given out to anyone. Pre-interviews or conferences are a must before any shoot day is considered.
