Live events need a keen eye and anticipation of the perfect moment.

"What time does it start and where is it?"

These are the most important questions. If you're contacting me about an event chances are I've already photographed this type of event. The time and location varies though. I like to be early for events. This is one of those "early is on time and on time is late" situations. Take a spin around the gallery to see some of the live events ranging from arena graduation at The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ to a grand opening of Stickley Audi & Co. Furniture in Somerville, NJ.

I’m not a marine biologist, but I captured this creature today at a photo shoot today involving a waterfall. I think it’s a large trout? Comment below if you believe otherwise.

Are you a person or business that does a thing and you need a creative eye to market that thing? Give me a call, email, text or whisper that you need help. This piece was done for @djlawless_ 🎥 @thatwerksphotography

Gem mint TEN photography, ladies and gentlemen. It doesn’t get any hotter than this, folks. We’re talking higher quality imagery than a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card! These photos from @thatwerksphotography don’t come in wax packs with gum! GEM MINT 10! Be dialing!

A happy St. Patrick’s Day one and all. Here we have a post that’s pulling double duty. It’s a St. Patrick’s Day wedding with @klyn619 and @kevfrancoo at Masker’s Barn. The #delorean was built in Ireland by Protestants and Catholics which just goes to show we can all get along. I invite other countries to cut the crap and start building cool things together.

Throwback to this session with Chris at @johnsoutside barn on the farm. Do not be alarmed, I am not spinning a yarn. I shot this series on medium format film on my #mamiya #645pro . 📸 @thatwerksphotography

Every so often I peruse LinkedIn and other business related forums and notice that the headshots people are using are quite old. A brand new portrait session will yield photos and I have more than enough Google reviews that testify to the ease of having them taken. 📸 @thatwerksphotography #thatwerks #thatwerksphotography #portraits #headshots #linkedinphoto #hunterdoncounty

Hello, Alveria! She found me on Google. Give Google a few years and I think you will see a lot more people using it. Headshots should be vibrant and engaging. If you are looking to do that then let’s talk. 🎥 @thatwerksphotography #thatwerks #headshots #portraits #thatwerksphotography

I got to direct TWO episodes of the @piper_harlow show yesterday. As per usual I got minimal behind-the-scenes shots because I’m too busy working. I’m gonna have to mount an action cam to my head and let it run all day.

Incredible food at @saltpeppergrill22 and I say this with 100% accuracy because I had their tacos before I split today. I appreciated the wine barrel doubling as a table for the photography. Something different! #whitehousestation #tacos #foodphotography #thatwerks #thatwerksphotography #tacotuesday

Dipped into @realwildflowerspennington and photographed 20 of their popular dishes. Very accommodating folks because it ain’t easy doing this at lunchtime! Thank you!

Packed day of restaurant shoots. Get at me if you are looking to refresh your social media content. P.S. Don’t forget to call terrible drivers “ding dongs” it’s really cathartic and silly to say.

One of the best things about photographing food? Getting to eat/drink it after the session. Here’s a couple finals from today at @everbowl_garwood_nj . They just opened their doors so swing by and show a brand new business your support. Tasty as can be! #garwood #garwoodnewjersey #everbowl

In 2024 I am going out of my way to inform people I shoot video. I have for a long time. I tend to keep Instagram heavily focused on the still imagery. That tune changes this year. Behold a small collection of projects I’ve filmed and edited. From #popstars to #beer and #food to #dance. The range is there so I can slide into whatever genre thrown at me. #thatwerks #video #socialmedia

@factoryfuelco you will be (temporarily) missed. I hope there is a new location soon. You bring a lot of amazing things to Flemington outside of coffee. Like hot chocolate, live music, local vendor merch, vintage games, etc. For those that have a couple bucks to spare, they are raising funds for the holiday payroll to get people to 2024 and beyond. https://gofund.me/d2da3cfd

Any KISS fan will tell you the past two decades have been brutal. Lousy albums, Paul Stanley lip-syncing, two jackwagons cosplaying as Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. Well at least we can look back on the first 30 or so years with fond memories. (Oh and @acefrehleyofficial is still putting out great albums outside of KISS. So much for Paul and Gene trying to discredit him.)
