Photographer always ready for ‘perfect’ shot
Isaac Stackell’s photos are on display this month at the Ridgewood Public Library.
He calls the show a collection of images he created over the past 30 years. When asked where his favorite landscape scenes are, he said, “Anywhere the light is right. It could be at any given moment – you don’t know when that is going to happen.” He always has his camera with him.
Stackell does product photography for a large New York City photo equipment retailer – B&H Photo, a job that he says is precise and controlled – the exact opposite of landscape photography.
“Landscape photography is unexpected, not always planned – it adds a lot of excitement,” he noted. “Even though you go with something in your mind, nature might have a surprise for you.”
Stackell photographed some iconic structures close to home. On display are: “Verrazano Fog” with a cruise ship passing under. “Empire State Building in the Morning Mist” was photographed from the subway station right outside Penn Station. “It’s my favorite building – I’ve shot it many different seasons, time of day, and from different locations.”
