About Us

Meet the Photographer

Hi, I’m Isaiah — the eye behind Lake Effect Lens.

Based in Brooklyn, NY, I specialize in editorial portraiture, live event coverage, and creative lifestyle photography. My focus centers on technical precision, sharp timing, and capturing authentic, unposed moments with clean composition.

Whether working one-on-one for branding portraits or covering high-energy social gatherings and panel events, I prioritize a calm, professional, and adaptable presence behind the camera.

Equipped with professional full-frame Canon mirrorless bodies and fast lenses, every assignment is backed by reliable data redundancy, custom color grading, and prompt communication.

Where are you located and how far will you travel?

I am based in Brooklyn, NY, serving the five boroughs, Long Island, and the greater Tri-State area. I am also available for regional and destination travel upon request.

How long does it take to receive my photos?

For private portrait and event commissions, final edited, high-resolution galleries are delivered within 1–2 weeks, with optional 24–48 hour preview selections available. For 2nd shooter assignments, RAW files can be handed off on-site at wrap or uploaded via secure cloud drive within 24 hours.

What gear do you use?

I shoot with professional full-frame Canon mirrorless systems (EOS R6 Mark II) equipped with dual card slots for instant in-camera redundancy. My kit includes fast L-series lenses, high-speed media, and portable on/off-camera flash capabilities for challenging low-light indoor venues and evening receptions.

Do you offer prints or just digital files?

All sessions include private online gallery delivery of high-resolution, professionally color-graded digital files with full personal printing and sharing rights. Physical prints are not provided directly at this time, though your files are fully formatted and optimized for high-end print labs.

How should I prepare for my session?

Prior to our shoot, we will review your preferred locations, timing/lighting conditions, and wardrobe choices. For corporate, branding, or editorial sessions, having outfits pressed and a brief shot list prepared ensures we maximize coverage efficiently.
