PHOTO OF THE MONTH
MAY 2025

This was a tough one. I knew that beautiful Alexa Mincone would be featured in the Photo of the Month right after our session, but choosing the best image was impossible. It was a beautiful day at the Planting Fields Arboretum in Upper Brookville, NY and Alexa did a remarkable job. I like this particular image because it defines something I call, "Plein Air Photography", the acquisition of images in simple light as nature provides it. Here, Alexa is defined by textures, highlights and shadow. There's a lot going on in the image, but she stands out in a way that is visually genuine and true to her innate beauty. Alexa is a graduating senior at Long Island High School for the Arts and studies with Stacie Nelson at NY Dancers Studio in Massapequa, NY. She is incredibly talented and very professional to work with. I am hoping to get one more shoot with her before she is off to Point Park University in the fall where she will be studying Modern Dance Arts. Thank you to Alexa for this lovely portrait.
