New York City Ballet Fall Gala 2014

Last night was New York City Ballet Fall Gala 2014. What a night. There were celebrities, dancers and women in amazing gowns. The red carpet was a buzz. After the excitement of outside everyone flowed into the auditorium for a magical night of dance. During the second half the foyer was transformed into the dinner space and the guests wined and dined and danced till well after midnight.

Lincoln Center Philharmonic 2014 Fall Gala

This week was the Lincoln Center Philharmonic 2014 Fall Gala and I was so happy to be the house photographer. I got there nice and early and the first guest to arrive was the most beautiful Karen LeFrack. Back from China where The Chinese Philharmonic had just performed one of her compositions ( I confess I didn't know she wrote music) she looked stunning and relaxed. We had a chance to chat and we both shared how much we both enjoy the time at an event before all the guests arrive.
Woody Allen was seated beside her at the dinner and so many guests made there way over to say hello.
I watched the concert from the offices upstairs where I was bust downloading the cocktail photos and getting them out to the press then I raced over to the dinner just before the curtain came down.
What a beautiful night.

Quest September 2014 Fashion Issue Cover with Amanda Hearst

I have to say I was very excited when Daniel Cappello called and asked me to photograph the Fall fashion story and cover for QUEST MAGAZINE, September 2014 with Amanda Hearst. I have known Amanda since my days at Town & Country Magazine and I had photographed her many times for the party pages but this was the first time I had had the luxury of doing a fashion shoot with her.
Elizabeth Meigher who co produced the shoot with Daniel was there to help and kept Finn the fabulous Pup engaged in the photos.
Daniel had pulled together some amazing gowns, fabulous shoes and jewelry plus organized the location at The Highline Hotel.
