Hurwitz Photography

You can expect me to give you photos you will love, be a good communicator who is organized, works quickly and efficiently with your people, and makes it fun and creative! I know when to give direction and when to be a "fly on the wall" to get the best candids. My 20 years of experience mean that I will not make the mistakes that a less experienced photographer does. And, you will enjoy working with me.

Growing up in NYC and the metro New York area, I was influenced by the fashions in the New York Times and the music scene in Greenwich Village. I was a psychologist as my first career, but photography had always been my hobby. Hiking and exploring nature are my hobbies, but I don't bring a camera, since I want to fully enjoy that experience without needing to capture it in pictures.

My first professional photo shoot was of damaged cars for a lawyer. It was fun, as each wrecked car had it's own "personality". Little did I know that someday I would be photographing events and people for the next 20 years!

My photography background is varied, and I feel lucky to have had such variety. I have done nearly 700 weddings, photographed for the NYC Chamber of Commerce, have done business portraits for L'Oreal, and covered events for Nike, Microsoft, Coors Brewing, and others.

I also coach some professional photographers, combining my background in psychology with my experience as an experienced pro photographer. It's such a great feeling to see my students prosper.
