MIT People

MIT In Pictures

Over the last two decades I have photographed a wide of people and events at MIT. Here are examples of some of the over 10,000 images I have taken.

While I have complete studio lighting equipment my first thought is usually to photograph with existing lighting which is quicker and gives a natural look. 

For parties I often set up seamless background paper and studio strobes to capture people posing in costume and with props.
