Review for the Photographer: Alex, our photographer and video and photo booth, captured precious moments; my daughter's Sweet 16 coverage was magical. Their ability to capture the moments, emotions, and the day's story was phenomenal. The photographer's keen eye for detail, technical expertise, and natural sense of aesthetics were evident in every shot. With a perfect mix of candid and posed shots, each photo remembers a moment we'll cherish forever. The photographer's professional and friendly demeanor put everyone at ease, making the photoshoots a breeze. I highly recommend Alex Kaplan to those aiming to encapsulate memorable moments in beautiful frames! A real first-class job! Review for the Videographer: The videographer for my daughter's Sweet 16 was exceptional! The videography service was professional and incredibly well organized. They managed to capture the ambiance of the event, the excitement of the guests, and, most importantly, the sheer joy of my daughter on her special day. They effortlessly blended into the background, making everyone comfortable while filming candid moments. The final video was edited seamlessly with a beautiful soundtrack that added another dimension of emotion to the memory. The videographer has given us a time capsule that we will replay repeatedly. I couldn't ask for more! Review for the Photo Booth: Photobooth: When a party has a photo booth is always fun, and the one for my daughter's Sweet 16 was top-notch! It included a wide array of funky props. It was a hit amongst the guests. It provided endless fun and laughter throughout the event and kept everyone engaged. The photo quality was excellent, and the prints were available instantly, making for delightful party favors. The booth operator was also incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable. It added a dynamic and interactive element to the event that was loved by all. I Highly recommend adding a part of the fun to any event! More...

Alex blew away my expectations. I booked Alex for a last minute headshot shoot as my friend was coming in town and he made the entire process easy from start to finish. He was able to come to my house which was crucial as we both have tiny kids at home. He also asked for our website info and information about our business prior to get a feel for what we would be going for. The booking on the website was extremely easy. He came on time was extremely professional and clean. He spent way more time than I could have imagined helping us get the right shot. My business partner and I are both physicians who are not used to photos and he gave us so many tips to get the look we were going for. I highly recommend the instant look option where you can see yourself after each shot on his iPad he brings. It really helps with adjusting yourself to get the look. During the shoot he played awesome music gave us great tips for our business and was just pleasant and fun too speak with. I am sure we will hire him again. Finally the most important part he got more than one good shot. We liked the pictures so much we picked 10 to get touched up because we liked them that much. I think that’s due to his communication, skill, and patience. He changed the lighting multiple times to compliment my partner and myself when we switched positions which I’ve never seen someone do so the look with both of us would be cohesive. I wasn’t happy with an outfit choice I made and he patiently let me change and gave great tips. I’d recommend him 1000 times over without any reservation. More...

I booked Alex Kaplan for my surprise proposal photoshoot. I contacted Alex about a month in advance to book my shoot, and he kept in touch with me as we got closer to the date of the proposal. I really appreciated the level of communication we had so he knew my vision for the shoot and was able to execute his role perfectly. Alex was on time and was discreet when my girlfriend and I arrived to the proposal site. She was completely surprised by the proposal and didn’t even notice Alex was there capturing the moment. We were very pleased with Alex’s genuineness, professionalism and creativity. This was our first time being photographed and Alex made it a fun and comfortable experience. He had so many fun ideas for shots, and overall we loved the results!! Weeks later and we can’t stop looking at those shots. Also the turnaround for our pictures was very quick- got them back in less than a week. Highly recommend!!! More...

Q&As

The essence of the subject's character and feelings should be captured in a beautiful portrait. It should convey some sort of narrative and make the audience feel some sort of emotional connection to the subject. Some key components of an excellent portrait are as follows:

A superb portrait should make the spectator feel something. The subject's facial expression, body language, and eye contact may indicate a wide range of feelings, from happiness and elation to melancholy and introspection.

Composition: The composition of a portrait is crucial to its success. The mood of a photograph may be affected by several factors, including where the subject is placed inside the frame, how much negative space is left around it, and what's in the backdrop.

The way a portrait is lit up makes a huge difference in how it comes across. The image's depth and texture may be altered by adjusting the light's direction, quality, and intensity.

With a well-focused portrait, the subject's features are crisp and distinct. The backdrop can be blurred and the subject's face highlighted by employing a narrow depth of focus.

Creating an emotional bond with your subject is key to capture their true essence. Spend some time talking with them before the shoot so they can loosen up in front of the camera.

Just getting the subject's likeness right isn't enough to make a superb portrait. The goal is to convey who they really are, what they went through, and what they stand for. Keep these things in mind and try out new approaches and styles to make portraits that stand out.

When beginning a new photography project, it is essential to ask the client a series of questions to determine their needs and expectations. These are some questions i might ask:

What is the objective of the photographic endeavor? Is it for personal or business purpose, such as branding or marketing?

Who is the intended audience for these images? What is the message you wish to convey?

What is the project's timetable? When do you require delivery of the photographs?

How much does the project cost? This will assist you in determining what kind of resources can be allocated to the project.

Which photographic style do you prefer? Exist photos or photographers that you like or wish to imitate?

Where will the images be utilized? Will they appear on a website, in social media, or in marketing materials?

Who will be the photographic subjects? Will you require the services of models, workers, or clients?

Where is the shooting taking place? Will the production take place in a studio or on location?

What kind of post-production work, such as retouching, color correction, or special effects, will be required?

By asking these questions, I will obtain a thorough grasp of the client's wants and expectations and create images that meet and surpass their requirements.

As a photographer, I love my job! Photography enables me to capture unique perspectives of the world around us, express my creativity, and positively influence the lives of others. One of the nicest aspects of being a photographer is the chance to meet with people from various walks of life and travel new locations, which gives an adventurous and motivated feeling of exploration to the profession. Photography is a hard and rewarding job that keeps me on my toes due to the continuous learning and skill-building required. Nothing matches the sensation of capturing a great moment and knowing that my images may elicit emotions and make a difference in the world.

As a photographer, nothing compares to the feeling of capturing the perfect image. What makes photography such an interesting and fulfilling profession is the thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of nailing the composition, and the pleasure of seeing your subject come to life on the computer or in print. Whether I am photographing portraits, landscapes, or anything else, I always endeavor to stretch my creative boundaries and create something truly unique and extraordinary. And at the end of the day, nothing is more satisfying than watching my clients' cheeks light up when they view the final product and knowing that I have helped them retain a cherished moment or communicate an important story through my images.

I have years of experience in the business and a portfolio demonstrating my technical skills and aesthetic sense. I am proud of my ability to work together with customers to comprehend their needs and goals and to deliver high-quality photographs that exceed their expectations. I am also quite reliable and professional, appearing on time and maintaining my word. I constantly endeavor to offer competitive rates without compromising quality. Additionally, I care deeply about my clients and my work. I consider photography an art form and a tool for recording and preserving unique moments in time, and I approach each task with excitement, inventiveness, and a commitment to excellence.

I can do both, I can travel to any location, as well as two studios, one in Bergen County ( New Milford, NJ) the other on West 30th NYC.

As your photographer, I know that your health and safety are the most important things, especially now, when things are hard. I've made a few changes to my services to help keep you safe from Covid-19. First, I'm now offering virtual consultations so we can talk about your project without having to meet in person as much as possible. When we do meet in person, I'll wear a mask and keep my distance from you to help lower the risk of you getting sick. Also, I'll clean my gear before and after each shoot and offer contactless delivery of your photos so that we don't have to meet in person as much. I might also suggest shooting in the open air to lower the risk of transmission even more. Lastly, I'll spread out my appointments so that fewer people are in my studio or on location at the same time. By taking these steps, I'm making sure you have a safe and successful photoshoot that meets your needs and goes above and beyond what you expect.
