A frequent client in the Washington DC area, Arcadian Productions, asked me to capture their recently rehabbed banquet facility on North Capitol Street. Accordingly, and having restored a 160 year old building into my former studio in New Castle, PA, I’m a sucker for historic architecture, and this one is a gem! The old Engine...

How about we Rock a Little Lighting? In various posts, I hinted at this. There are 15 different lighting modifiers used in this sample, each with their own characteristics. While I have quite a few more modifiers than these, these are the most frequently used, and each has a role to play in what and...

Some of the different looks of frequent collaborator, Robin C Farrell (rcfarrell.com) I love collaborating with talented people in both photography and music, and have to say, Frederick is a different breed of cat when it comes to collaboration in photography.

Lena RotenbergJeff Behm is professional photographer of the highest caliber!It was a true pleasure to work with him over the past two months to schedule and conduct this photoshoot of our entire dental team at Baker Park. At every step of the process, Jeff proved to be an experienced, personable, and knowledgeable professional. He was always prompt to respond. He was punctual, always arriving earlier than our set appointments. Twice, in advance of the photoshoot, we visited Baker Park to pick specific spots and angles based on what the sun and shadows would look like. He advised me about different technical aspects but was humble about his creative vision, suggesting but never pushing his opinions about how to represent our team. He closely monitored the weather forecasts. He brought an assistant to position reflectors to fill in the shadows, rather than attempt to fix lighting later on the computer. He positioned our large and smaller groups and engaged with us to make us look good.He delivered the proofs when he promised, was gracious when I asked for edits, and delivered those edits promptly. His prices were reasonable and fair, and he was totally transparent about the cost of requests beyond our initial agreement. Jeff’s attention to detail and recall of what we discussed at each meeting was extraordinary. He’s a problem solver who deeply knows his craft, and who truly enjoys figuring out each project he takes on and doing the best he can. I highly recommend him!
