Born in Queens NY

Apprenticed Artist

​

I am Sean, son of Terrence,  slayer of dragons.  I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power.  Those are the immortal words of Beowulf as he answers Grendel the abomination  on who he is.  I will attempt to do the same here.  I was brought up on Greek mythology, comics, and fantasy; and I try to bring that sense of wonder and fantasia into my work.  During my youth I was an athlete, a chess enthusiast, a musician, and an artist.   I  am now a husband, a father, an artist, and an editorial/commercial photographer, specializing in people and event photography with a style consisting of vibrant, colorful, energetic imagery.  Running a client-friendly, service-oriented business I believe that great creativity bears its ripest fruits in a team atmosphere through working closely with my clients.   During events, my clients are often quickly submerged in the merry hoopla of friends, family, and business partners.   Through creating a clear image before hand of what my client expects, I am able to dig my heels in and become the events Maestro, staying on point, and orchestrating the greater needs of the shoot. This allows my clients to savor the moments of the event and be spontaneous knowing my role in the days festivity is being taken care of.  Proper planning and preparation is the key to any successful shoot and I do require a minimum of at least two meetings with my clients prior to any big event.  I do not take every job that comes my way.  I have my own criteria based on years of experience and if I do not believe that I am the right fit for your job, I will let you know.   I am based in the hallowed earth of Ronkonkoma NY, home of the infamous "Lady of the lake" .  Here I remain poised and ready to create outstanding visuals for you.
​
 I am a classically trained in traditional arts and specialize in the medium of oil paint.  About 10 years ago I took my knowledge of the arts into the field of photography and have not looked back.  Refined lighting, a sphere of tonal values, lost and found edges coupled with vibrant color, creamy Bokeh and High resolution is what I tend to bring about.  So weather its Corporate events, fashion  portraits, creative cosplay,  your wedding, your daughters sweet sixteen, your sons sporting event, or even your coming out party, I have you covered, or uncovered if you wish as I do tasteful boudoirs  as well.  I look foreword to working with you in creating a landmark event.
