camera Nikon D850, Nikon D500, Nikon D700, Nikon D750, Nikon D810, Nikon Df

Even as a child Brian Cabrera was always fascinated by Art of Photography. He had begged and did more than his share of chores in order to earn his first Samsung flip phone which had one of the first built in cameras (If you can call it a camera at all.) It wasn't until the arrival of the Iphone3 that Brian could really hone and nurture his love for photography. He would photograph nearly everything that could be made into art. Pretty soon through his appreciation of contemporary art, he understood how to frame inanimate objects from pencils on a desk to obscurely grown weeds in green fields to make them appear "artsy." Despite having no formal training, his time was consumed with photography blogs and film literature. It was then apparent to him that the way he had viewed and understood his beloved hobby was that of a formally learned artist. Brian then purchased his first Nikon D3200 and 50mm 1.8 lens and painstakingly learned his new instrument of joy. He walked into the office of an old colleague he had met in his time in the laboratory industry (which he still frequents). He was the owner of an entertainment company. He had asked Brian " How would you like to work for my company as a photographer?" Brian muttered "As much as this captivates me, I have no experience..." It was then Brian was offered to accompany him to all of his events being his "Personal Photographer." Like a spy, Mr. Brian analyzed his competitors, learned the tricks of the trade, and even sold his photos to unlucky photographers who did not make the grade. FAST FORWARD... Eight years in, more than 200 events later, 10 cameras acquired, 20 lenses focused, and 100,000 images captured, Brian has not only understood the Art of the Photography, but discovered the Heart of Photography.

I have been into photography since i was 15 years old (so almost 30 years at this point). I graduated Moscow State Unvercity with a Degree in Photo Journalism. Have worked a freelance for various media outliets in Moscow, Russia. Have started my wedding career in 2003 and have photographed and captured on film hundreds of weddings. Every wedding is unique and the key is to find that something special about each couple and try to reflect that in my images. My background as a photojournalist gave me a good eye for catching those special moments that happen at every wedding, but can easily be missed if not able to recognize and capture them. A successful wedding photographer or cinematographer must have the ability and flexibility to handle any unpredictable situation on a busy wedding day and still deliver consistent quality images. You can trust me with your wedding and your memories!!

Photographer

How did you get started with photography

In 2011, I got started with photography using an entry level DSLR, it was my sister’s gift. I was shooting just for my hobby. I would go out with my camera every day and photograph cool things that I came across in the street, like plants, objects, and my photographer friends. I could develop my skills as soon as I moved to NY in 2014, when I used to work as "Executive Assistant" in a Staten Island office. My husband is a professional photographer and film maker, so he taught me how to shoot and retouch pictures with Lightroom. In 2016, I finally left my office work to dedicate myself fulltime to photography.

What do you love about your job?

I love touching souls with my art. Taking pictures is a true passion for me and always will be.

What are some of your favorite places in New York City to take photographs?

My favorite places to shoot portraits in New York are Dumbo in Brooklyn (between the bridges), Central Park, Grand Central and SoHo.
