I am a photographer/teacher who loves life and people. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife @mrsghionis I love bringing out the best in others.

What happens when you combine a gorgeous bride, a mirror, a tight crop, and two @westcottlighting Ice Lights in a clamshell setup?
This.

This portrait of @josetty1 was created in my backyard using nothing but sunlight through a metal gate.
The aggressive crop did the rest.
The better you become at seeing light, the less you depend on spectacular locations.

I've always loved reflections and creating images that tell a story. This was lit using nothing more than the car's interior light. You don't need expensive lighting. Any light will do.

Killer portraits in a parking lot using the @WestcottCo Ice Light 3s

I don't usually shoot broad and split light but it suits the drama here on the high key background. Cool how you can see the tint of her glasses and the silhouette of her eye lash as well.

Loved the yin and yang vibe of this photo of this very cool couple shot for the @nikonusa Z8 campaign.

Shot for the @nikonusa z8 campaign. If you get the angle and pose right, you can make the shadow on the face look like a profile silhouette of another human being. 300x @AputureLighting light w/ 26degree spotlight on her face f4, 1/200sec, 400ISO

[Jerry Ghionis @jerryghionis]

I exposed for the ambience first. I then used a @profoto B10x Plus to back light them to emulate a bright window behind the gate and flowers. @nikonusa z7II 85mm f1.8 lens @ f2.2, 1/250sec, 1000ISO

[Jerry Ghionis @jerryghionis]

If your subjects can't look at the camera without blinking or squinting, let them know where to look, close their eyes and relax their foreheads and count to three before opening their eyes again. All you need is a fraction of second @nikonusa Z7II 50mm, 1/400sec f5.6 100 ISO.

[Jerry Ghionis @jerryghionis]

I'm photographing the wedding of these 2 beautiful people on Saturday @lawrencejoshua702 and @lec_601 Can you believe this was "just" their engagement celebration. I can only imagine what the wedding will be like! @nikonusa z7II 85mm f1.8 lens @ f2, 1/250sec, 400ISO

[Jerry Ghionis @jerryghionis]

One of my YouTube episodes was featured on Beavis and Butt-head! I can retire now...lol. Check it out on Paramount+ Season 2 Episode 8.

[Jerry Ghionis @jerryghionis]

If you're photographing into a window, simply place a black panel/board/v flat behind the subject to add contrast that displays 2 directions of light.

Love the Nikon colors for this shot with the @nikonusa z8! This is natural light coming though a large diffuser attached to my studio garage door. @aputurelighting 60x light for an edge light. Nikon z8, 85mm f1.2, 1/250, 100ISO #nikonnofilter #nikoncreators #nikonambassador

[Jerry Ghionis @jerryghionis]

f.95 with the @nikonusa Noct lens is something special! You have to focus manually but focus peaking helps. You can also place your focus point on something and as you turn the focus ring, it will go green when it's in focus.

If you don't know where to start with posing couples, have their faces and bodies fit like a puzzle. Chances are that it will be aesthetically pleasing.

@VarunKa81490671 @NikonUSA Thank you! Natural light through a garage door on the left, continuous light from the right.

[Jerry Ghionis @jerryghionis]

When I woke up on the morning of this shoot, I never would have believed I would witness a woman doing a hand stand whilst doing the splits and holding the weight of another human being on one foot. Wow!
