I can’t believe I finally get to share this: my first magazine cover shoot is here!! A milestone I’ve been chasing for a long time and now it’s a reality. 2026 is coming out swinging!!!

“The photographer, even in fashion and portraiture, has to have a standpoint. It's important to know what you stand for, no? Most people just take pictures but they stand for nothing. They follow trends and don't know why.” - Peter Lindbergh

If Aaron Parnas has no haters I am dead.

I don’t mind when someone says “nice camera.” The avg person doesn’t know all the nuances that go into making a great photo, and they don’t need to. What they’re really saying is they love the work, and that’s enough for me. I don’t need to be coddled. I’ll take that compliment any day of the week

"For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty." - Mayor Mamdani. Absolute bars. There’s no greater orator than Zohran Mamdani in politics right now.

There are people out there competing with you in their heads. Meanwhile, you’re just trying to remember where you left your keys.

“Look AI exists” And it sucks. What’s your point?

If you can’t grasp why a global superstar pulling out a camera on one of the biggest stages in the world is good for photography, I’m not sure what else to tell you. Moments like this shine a spotlight on the craft and lifts the entire photography community as a WHOLE. Everybody wins!!

Absolutely crazy

Hello, I love photography 📸

People all over the world posted their first cameras today. Fresh out of the box. Christmas gifts. Someone figuring out what M, P, and A even mean. Paying attention to nothing beyond curiosity.

People don't fully realize how mind-blowing cameras actually are. We took minerals from the Earth - glass, metal, silicon - and engineered a way to freeze moments in time. A literal snapshot of reality, built by creatures on a spinning rock, using dust from that very rock.

How I feel having hated Nicki Minaj since day one:

I feel like I’m fucking taking crazy pills

"I'm a conservative" = I want to dictate how others live their lives even if it is of no consequence to mine.

They must come from another planet #birds

Out of millions of snowflakes that fell while I shot this—one looked like a heart 🤍 Do you see it?

“…but you did”

This is gonna be all of us

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Gotta love the DM’s request folder 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey, it’s me on the official Sony Alpha YouTube channel! 😳

Have you seen this photo? You should see this photo. 👇👇👇

Cynicism is a defense mechanism, and not a particularly effective one.

Some of you might know this camera 👀

All I know is the first dude who heard a parrot talk was probably not okay

Support living artists. Buy their work. Commission them. Share their posts. Show up. Tell them their work matters while they’re here to hear it.

People say social media isn’t social anymore and then spend all their time arguing with bots and trolls instead of actually connecting with people.

People will reply to engagement bait and then complain about engagement bait. Bro, you just did that!

It’s only rage bait if you reply to it.

I don’t want to be the next Danny Clinch, Neil Preston, Ross Halfin, Mick Rock, Anton Corbijn. I want to be the first Dimitry Mak. The best never became legends by being the second anything. They were authentically, stubbornly themselves.

Religion allows the elite live their leisurely lives of heaven on earth at our expense and we are taught to wait until we die.

Might be controversial

I don’t often use starburst filters but when I do it’s for JUSTICE ✝️

Never go in the hidden requests folder of your Instagram. Just don’t do it.

Still one of the best concert photos I’ve ever taken… Curious to hear your thoughts.

The truth nobody tells you about photography is that most of your work won’t be seen or celebrated, and that’s okay. The work that matters most is the work that means something to you first. Everything else is just noise.

Holy shit they are crashing out

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow. But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

I’ve uploaded my first YouTube video and since BlueSky doesn’t throttle links I thought I’d share it here. Let me know what you think! youtu.be/YqfKlkw6ukI?...
