about mg, soon-to-be your photographer

michael goldman— stone ridge photographer

i'm not exactly just starting out, although one might say that i am new to the hudson valley—

but only in my full-time professional capacity, that is.

after decades splitting time between tribeca nyc and stone ridge,

finally made the move to the woods and haven't looked back.

now i bring my inspiration and experience with client relationships

and all manner of productions to the world of upstate— booking shoots that i love to do.

i am well aware that the standard jargon in our industry prominently features such key words and phrases as

"investment", "experience", "packages", "starting at", "build credibility","elevate your brand", "tell your story", and more...

i prefer simpler and more direct language. if you are actively looking for a photographer,

let's not dwell too long on buzzwords that have basically become clichés— let's get right to brainstorming the creative process,

planning the elements that fit your needs, and developing a production plan to best achieve your ideal results.

please contact me to discuss any shoot you might be contemplating, no obligation.

no form to fill out, no need to write your whole message on this site, just contact me directly.
