Best of 2016

Every year in December I take a moment to look back on the year and select what I consider to be my best work of the year. This year most of the selections are mostly environmental portraits for clients, The Times Herald-Record, Ulster Magazine and Orange Magazine. Here my collection from my best 16 photos published in 2016 in no particular order. Here at past Best photo packages for 2015, 2014, and 2013.
