Photos that feel like the day actually felt. Every photo arrives twice, in colour and in black and white, and I reply to every message within a few hours.
Two people, golden hour, and the city as your backdrop. Engagements, anniversaries, or just because.
A wedding with no guest list. City Hall, confetti on the steps, and the rest of the day spent walking the city.
No stiff poses. I photograph your family the way it actually is: curious, chaotic, and full of life.
Clean, quiet, and honest. A studio or natural light session built around you, before everything changes.
A headshot that looks like you on a good day. For LinkedIn, your team page, or the next chapter.
Campaigns, lookbooks, and brand content shot on location. Imagery made for your brand, not pulled from stock. Recent work for Toma, Two Blind Brothers, and Sailor Health.
Snow, bloom, and golden hour
About
No heavy presets. No plastic retouching. No catalogue poses. I keep skin tones honest, shadows soft, and the focus on how the moment felt. If it would look dated in ten years, it does not make the cut.

More About MeHow I Edit
Every photo is finished one at a time: true skin tones, the light that was really there, nothing that will date. And you get your whole gallery twice, every photo in colour and in black and white. Drag the photos to see the difference.

"Dylan was phenomenal. We loved every minute of our couples shoot in Central Park. A fantastic eye for light and composition, just enough direction to keep things natural, and he delivered our gallery much sooner than expected. The black-and-white edits are especially beautiful. Highly recommend for timeless, candid NYC photos."
Kush Patel
"Such a wonderful experience. Dylan came prepared with a shot list, props, and even a Pinterest board for outfit inspiration. On the day, he was incredibly patient with our one-year-old, giving clear direction while letting natural moments unfold. The photos are absolutely beautiful, ones we'll treasure for years."
Alyssa B
"Dylan has a true gift for capturing people in their most natural, beautiful moments. He scouted locations beforehand, made us feel completely at ease, and turned what could feel like a photoshoot into something effortless and fun. His eye for detail makes every photo feel authentic and full of life."
