STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
JORDAN HIRALDO
JORDAN was a great photographer the day I met him, at the High School for Excellence in the Bronx. He was already running his own event photography business. The only thing I could do to impress this kid was to bring in some professional lighting equipment and with the school's and his mother's permission, we got him on set to learn and see what commercial photography looked like. JORDAN graduated high school and FIT and now is making a real name for himself in the industry. The photos here are from his junior year of high school in 2012.
