NY Portrait Studio

Thank you for visiting my page!

My name is Waldir and I am based out of Long Island, NY. I am primarily a portrait and wedding photographer. For the past few years I have been working with experienced and aspiring models to help them build their portfolios. Several examples can be viewed in my Model Mayhem portfolio or in a link is provided above. I am willing to work with moodels of all skill levels and can learn from all of them.

If I have sent you a friend request, it means that I am interested in working with you on a TF basis. I am also available for portrait and commercial photography outside of the TF terms.

Flakes will not be tolerated and will be deleted and blocked. If you need to reschedule the shoot for some reason, please contact me via cell, text or email. I will do the same.


***** My guidelines and suggestions for TF shoots *****

** Makeup - I do not provide makeup or a makeup artist (MUA).

** Outfits - I do not provide outfits, but I will provide input on choosing outfits prior to and during the shoot. Please choose at least 5-6 diverse outfits and any accessories. We will decide which ones to use. For location shoots, plan ahead your needs for changing outfits as everybody's comfort level is different.


** Image Workflow and Image Rights - After our shoot, I will usually post 2-3 of my favorite images to my website and social media for the purpose of self-promotion. I will allow you to select an additional 5 images to be finished and the usual turnaround time is 1-2 weeks after I receive your choices. In all, you will receive full-resolution images of my choices and your choices to use in your portfolio and social media for the purpose of self-promotion. A model release granting these rights to both of us needs to be read and signed before the shoot. These will be provided digitally on a CD or as a downloadable ZIP file.

I look froward to creating great images with you!!
