October 29, 2011 was a turning point in Zorz Studios’ history. That day, a milestone historical decision was made, and the time came to announce it. Many will be taken by a surprise. With confidence and excitement I state that the change will have a profound and empowering impact on Zorz Studios. I am quitting.

Zorz Studios is pleased to announce that we will be part of the New York Couture Fashion Week at Grand Ballroom of Waldorf Astoria, New York City. We are proud to partner with Couture Fashion Week and Partners In Health in our relief efforts for Haiti earthquake victims. On Saturday, February 13th, I will be [...]

As we continue to raise the bar of top quality and untamed creativity, finesse our vision, and revamp our offerings, we build more and more value into our exquisite packages, inevitably reflecting on the prices. While shooting high undoubtedly serves as the ultimate drive to excel and remain the industry flagship, it has a penitent [...]

. An important day in the year has come. It is time when I take a moment to slow down, look around me, and think of all whom I am thankful for — from family to dear friends, from clients who become caring friends to friends who become trusting clients, from those who influence me [...]

I’ve been eying The Wedding Salon’s prestigious bridal show for some time now, attending the salon’s networking parties. (One of them, by the way, led to an acquaintance with a turnkey effect.) So, having milled a substantial amount of flour required by this show, I signed up for New York Fall 2009 expo.

Following a recent approach by TLC station, which expressed interest in some of my weddings for a potential coverage on a national television as part of their new show Four Weddings, another media company, WS Publishing Group, invited me to provide content for their new book. WS Publishing Group is the largest publishing company of [...]

We drew attention in a couple of places in the past week or two… First, Sarah Johnson, the founder of Seeking Designers came across my mailing on underwater and body art maternity and immediately put us on the top of their Newsflash (not to mention an “advanced” booking). Seeking Designers is a service provided to [...]

We are pleased to announce that Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine has chosen to list Zorz Studios on their invitation-only Platinum List, a directory of top wedding professionals from around the world. Wedding Style, the wedding world’s premier magazine, is a breathtaking publication that showcases the “best of the best” of the wedding industry in [...]

Zorz Studios’ artistic universe started to feel too tight… Expanding presence to a Manhattan studio on Broadway helped partially. Keeping all the surrounding beauty and excitement within their current boundaries felt restraining… It is time to push the horizon even further. I am pleased to announce that Olga Mironova (left) joined Zorz Studios’ team as [...]

It gives me a great pleasure to announce the expansion of Zorz Studios’ presence and opening operations in the heart of New York City, Manhattan’s Flatiron district. In a special collaboration arrangement with virtuosi and celebrity makeup artists Anne DeMarco and Charles Douglas of Rouge Makeup Studio, we now offer a new convenient location to [...]

I was invited to attend Brides New York networking and cocktail party last night at the New York Public Library. The magnificent ballroom gathered top wedding professionals for an opportunity to network and meet Julie Raimondi, Editor of Bride’s New York Magazines. Thanks to the crew for an amazing night! The food by Sterling Affair [...]

Right upon returning from Jamaica and landing in the JFK airport, I rented a car and drove into the night, continuing my day that started with shooting my couple in sunrise on a sugar cane plantation. My destination was The Desmond Hotel in Albany, NY where I finally arrived at 3 AM, tired but stirred up (hmm… [...]

  It is now official… As the next milestone in my photography career, I earned my certification from Professional Photographers of America (PPA), becoming Certified Professional Photographer, CPP. What I thought would take a couple of years to achieve, happened sooner. As the leading certifying agency for imaging professionals, the Professional Photographic Certification program is [...]

I want to leave a trace in this world… through photography which may turn into a historical record or a work of art, inhabiting someone’s heart — beating faster and feeling warmer, outliving mine… through my volunteering for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (NILMDTS), a national group of elite photographers healing trauma of [...]

In a new and exciting venture, I am participating in the Behind the Veil Bridal Show as platinum sponsor and exhibitor. Organized by Monica Tolbert-Jackson and April Chapman, event professionals with over 20 years of event planning and project management experience, the show will be held on April 5, 2009 at the The Hilton Hotel [...]

Much of the time this week is devoted to intensification of my search for partners to match the quality of my studio’s service, products, expertise, and customer care. In an ongoing series of meetings, I find those vendors whom I could refer to my discerning clients with pride and confidence.

It is with great pleasure that I announce being chosen to receive a 2009 Bride’s Choice Award from WeddingWire, Martha Stewart Weddings franchise provider. The following is the press release. WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Zorz Studios, Inc. has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards!

There has been a buzz in the wedding professional photography community about the Photographer DNA (pDNA) assessment tool, developed by Dane Sanders, Southern California-based wedding photographer and one of the founding members of the world-famous Open Source Photo (OSP) Forum. Dane’s book, Fast Track Photographer, turned into an industry best-seller and ranks a solid 5-star [...]

This image from the series “Heirdom of Atlantis” won the first place in Fotki’s Blue Ribbon contest. Fotki is a digital photo sharing, video sharing and media social network website and web service suite; it is one of the world’s largest social networking sites. Founded in 1998, Fotki helped me introduce myself to the world [...]

As the busiest month of the year remains behind (shot seven weddings and one fashion session in October), I was given a chance to breath in some crisp autumn air, gliding down from the rich blue sky and warmed by the generous November sun. My family and I headed off to the Silver Lake park, [...]

My entry won Resource Magazine’s “Classy Nudes” contest and is set to be published in the Winter issue of the magazine. This photo, entitled “In the Morning”, was taken in 2006 on a ridgetop which offers a spectacular scenic overlook of one of the Wildlife Management Areas in New Jersey.

With the days counted before the elections in the US, it is time to unveil more than most of you have known about me… With my recent activity in an unexpected area of politics, it didn’t take me long to make it to the televised Channel 3 News:

Today I was pleasantly surprised to see my wedding photo gallery being featured on the homepage of WedPlan, one of the popular wedding planning online resources. It attracts about 65,000 visitors across the US per day. Not surprisingly, traffic to my website soared today. Of note, one of my recent contracts was signed by a [...]

    . .     The New York Wedding Salon hosted a cocktail party at the Slate restaurant on Tuesday, where I was kindly invited. During this private social event, fueled by plenty of drinks and hors d’ouevres, I had a wonderful opportunity to meet new peers and vendors, establishing a potential for new [...]

After more than three months of preparation, my first underwater session culminated in a series of marvelous unique images. The image above is just the first edit… There is so much more to come. Curiosity is too high to keep the results for weeks while in processing. We faced a whole set of unique challenges, [...]

Greater Boston Area, MA – I attended a two-day regional workshop by Marathon. I happened to shoot a late wedding the day before and by the time I returned home and packed for the road, it was time to leave. Due to circumstances, a 3-hour trip awaited for me – a local night bus to [...]
