Welcome to the new Blog

New York Photographer (.com), is the new blog for Photography By Roy

My name is Roy Somech, and I am a professional photographer serving clients in the New York metro area.
I work with clients in NYC, Long Island, Westchester, Connecticut and New Jersey.

The majority of my work is Portraits, specifically, Newborns & Babies, Maternity, Couples/Engagements, Family Portraits, and Children. I also do plenty of Pet Photography as well as Commercial work (anything from Headshots, to Bands and Product Photography).

What you can expect when hiring me

Aside from what should be obvious (things like high quality work and creativity in your session) I also like to think that my super laid back and friendly personality play a big part in why clients have me come back to their homes again and again.

I always walk into every session with a ton of patience and willingness to do whatever it take to get the shot.

Please take a moment to review some of the things my clients have had to say by visiting the Testimonials page.

NYC Engagment Portraits

Engagement sessions (or just good old couple portraits) can take place anywhere in New York City.

I usually walk around with my clients for a couple of hours, location depends on your style and or if there is an area of personal meaning to you and your relationship.

The sessions are usually very creative and fun, We’ll do some traditional stuff, but also a lot of very laid back and natural shots of you just being yourselves… There’s nothing I like more than capturing your personality and chemestry as a couple.

Locations for Engagement sessions in NYC:

again, this is something we will decide on together. I can certainly make some suggestions or make the decisions for you. Central park, Soho, Meat Packing, East Village, UES, UWS, anything goes… tell me a bit about you and what you like and we’ll come up with a location that will best match the style of shots you like best.
