About
“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”. – Edgar Degas.
This statement sums up my approach to photography. Art is not only a passion but a way of life for me, I’m also a Painter, Art Teacher and hold a master’s degree in fine arts.
I want to use my artistic skills to serve you and bring you joy. If you decided to hire me you’ll recognize that I approach every photo-shoot as a blank canvas, where memories can be captured for the rest of time. I love capturing my customers in a magical and creative way.
When you receive your photos you’ll be able to recognize that I try to tell a story with every photo I take, you will recognize my ability to take into consideration minute details such as lighting and the way it can impact a face or setting.
I love the opportunity to be creative by finding ways to make my clients look their best. Seeing a client happy gives me the greatest joy. Having the opportunity to work with interesting individuals, from all walks of life is pretty awesome. The smiles on faces of skeptical or photo shy clients, after seeing their photos and loving what they see is priceless. I also provide timely and efficient service.

Earl photographed our wedding and he was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met him, he felt like family, not just a vendor we hired. He was warm, patient, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. His attention to detail and eye for capturing genuine, candid moments really shone through in every photo. He anticipated moments before they happened and made sure nothing was missed. If you’re looking for a photographer who will treat your wedding like it’s personal to them too, Earl is your guy. We can’t recommend him enough. Five stars all the way!

Had a great experience working with Earl on a parking garage photoshoot for our company. Communication was excellent, the process was smooth, and he captured all shots we were hoping to get. Would definitely work with Photo Magique again.

Photo-Magique was exactly what we needed: took the time to understand the brief and the 'story' that we wanted to tell as a company. Professional and easy to work with, he captured both photos and video footage of very high quality. Would recommend him highly without hesitation.
I absolutely love working with Photo-Magique LLC! He is professional, punctual, and delivers amazing quality every single time. Beyond his great eye and talent, he is truly a pleasure to collaborate with. His work was so impressive that I’ve already hired him twice. Highly recommend!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
1. After the quote has been accepted I would like a phone consultation to better understand your needs and budget.

3. I will be in constant communication until the day of your event or shoot.
4. After the shoot you can expect your final images within 7 business days. Prior to receiving your images an invoice will be sent requesting the balance of your shoot.
5. A link to your gallery will be sent to your email and cell phone. Followed by instructions on how to print, download, and share your images.

Graduated Parsons School of Design in NYC with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts, worked for several years with a Wedding photography company as a 2nd shooter, then as a main shooter before I decided to branch out on my own.
