New York Magazine Wedding Event: Kate Spade

Friday, June 3, 2011

A few months ago, I had the privilege of being the official press photographer for Merci New York for the New York Magazine Wedding Event. Getting to see all the new trends, accessories, designers, and meet all the fab industry professionals that showcase was exciting. One big showing was Kate Spade: who is doing weddings now! I have to say I love all the new stuff that Kate Spade has been doing these days. The company has been getting very hip and stylish but still has classic elements. Their new wedding line is perfect for the New York City bride, especially ones that are doing very chic, intimate weddings or running down to City Hall to get hitched. I love the bold colors and short simple dresses. I can’t decide if my fave shoes are the ivory with the sparkly heel or the gold sparkle ballet flats. I know my 6 year old would choose both!

Get to Know You session- Palomar Hotel

Tuesday, May 31, 2011

Jessica works in fashion and Scott is a doctor. They were really excited to do their Get to Know You session. It was January and very cold out, so we had to pick a place that had some cool inside spaces. Jess picked the Palomar Hotel because it is chic and modern and thought that area of the city would be fun. The Palomar was extremely accommodating and when we were finished with the shoot Jess and Scott found a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in their room. The Palomar left a note congratulating them on their upcoming wedding and hoped they had fun shooting their GTKY session in the hotel. Wow! I was impressed and Jess said they now have a lifelong customer and lots of referrals. It is the little things that matter.

Wednesday, May 18, 2011

I am very excited to finally be able to share that Style Me Pretty is featuring Christ and Brad’s gorgeous Kimmel Center wedding (1, 2, 3) on their Little Black Book blog. This wedding was absolutely stunning thanks to Christi’s impeccable style and Evantine’s gorgeous designs. I had such a wonderful time working with Christi and Brad because they were so open and generous. They were both so excited for the day and everyone had a smile on their face. When you get to witness such joy, love and happiness it makes it all worth it.

Feel free to check out what SMP has to say and please leave them a comment. Abby loves to hear what people have to say about the weddings she posts. Plus we want to encourage them to keep posting contemporary city weddings full of life.

New York Dance Photographer: Gallery showing at the TRUST Gallery in Philadelphia

Thursday, April 21, 2011

Sofia Negron Photography is proud to announce a solo gallery showing of dance photographs from the last 5 years of Shut Up and Dance. The showing will be the entire month of May at TRUST Gallery in Philadelphia. The gallery opening will be held on May 6, 2011 from 6:00-9:00PM at TRUST at 249 Arch Street Philadelphia, PA 19106. During the month of May, the show can be seen Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00AM-6:00PM. It free and open to the public.

These images are more than just pretty dance photographs but a representation of the commitment of a community of artists, volunteers and a non-profit organization to bring life to others and feed their bodies and souls.

In 1993, dancers at the Pennsylvania Ballet wanted to do something to respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. They realized the best thing they could do was “shut up and dance”. Every year since, the dancers have partnered with MANNA in presenting a one-night-only performance. For the last 5 years, Sofia Negron has had the honor of photographing this performance.

Especially for people at acute nutritional risk due to life-threatening illness, MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) prepares and delivers delicious nourishing meals and counsel, empowering individuals to battle illness and improve their quality of life. They provide 3 meals a day, 7 days a week at no charge. Every Shut Up and Dance ticket provides meals for one client.

A photographer for the last 10 years, Sofia Negron loves capturing movement and stories. Sofia not only photographs dancers and other artists, she also tells authentic love stories through her wedding photography. A former dancer herself, Sofia loves to capture the energy, the lines and the very soul of each dancer.

This exhibit will raise awareness for this wonderful organization, pay tribute to the dancers who have participated in these performances, and showcase Sofia’s dance photography work. 100% of the profits generated by the sale of these works during the show will be donated to MANNA.

 

Special thank you to:

Dancers and choreographers of Shut Up and Dance
MANNA
Trust Gallery
Judith Campbell of Campbell Studios

New York Dance Photographer: Doug Varone and Dancers

Sunday, March 27, 2011

As a former professional dancer, I get really excited when I get an opportunity to photograph dance. Being in New York now, there are a ton of dance companies and I was really honored to have the opportunity to photograph Doug Varone and Dancers. This is a small company made up of modern dancers handpicked by Doug Varone. Reading an article about how he picks his dancers, he says he likes to find dancers who have lived, are comfortable in their bodies and can bring a maturity to their dancing, who will bring something to his work, who will make his work better. Each one of these dancers has really beautiful movement quality and timing. It was refreshing to watch modern dancers who move through space freely and still keep the integrity of their technique.

This was the New York premiere of “Chapter from a Broken Novel” performed at the Joyce Theater. “Chapter from a Broken Novel” original score was created by David Van Tieghem. You can see Doug’s thoughts and description of the piece here and here. Here are just a few of my favorite images from the performance.
