One of the best photographers in NYC. He is so passionate about what he does and it shows. The…read morefirst time I came to him years ago I had professional photos taken for my real estate profile and I loved it. Recently, I went to him for my maternity shoot with my significant other for our bundle of joy. Ricardo and his team helped us to feel comfortable and we had fun doing it. His quick turn around makes us also want to come back for newborn photos. Book him like today ! You will not be disappointed.

This review is long but it is the truth. Please read as I would not want this experience to happen…read moreto anyone else. Do not. I repeat DO NOT WORK WITH THIS GUY. He is a scammer and a liar. I was super excited to do a boudoir shoot for my birthday, and since I had purchased it off of Groupon since September, I didn't want to let it expire so about 3 weeks ago I called Ricardo to set up an appointment. When I got to the building, I buzzed the apartment number, and then I opened the gate. The inside building door was open and I walked in. Out of nowhere this girl starts yelling at the top of the stairs saying, "why does someone keep buzzing for no f****ing reason?" and in my head I'm just like, "am I in the right place?" And she turns to me and asks if I'm here for Ricardo and I'm like yes. In my mind I'm thinking the makeup artist is someone he hired on payroll or something but as she's doing my makeup she tells me that she's Ricardo's daughter. Weird. Thankfully I brought my OWN foundation just in case because she tells me that she doesn't have my shade. Rule of thumb: as a professional makeup artist you should have EVERY SHADE. Another red flag. Not only that she sent her friend, sister, whoever to get lashes since that was another request from me (and it shouldn't be). After she did my makeup she asked how I'm paying and then she charged $75. I told her that I was told $50 when I spoke to Ricardo. I was furious. She did a good job but I personally know other professional makeup artists who wouldn't do that and still do a better Job. After the shoot he tells me to come back after I change and take a look at the photos. He tells me to rate the ones that I like 5 star but doesn't tell me that if I go back then all the photos I selected get removed and I have to start the WHOLE selection process again. As I'm going through the photos, he's on WhatsApp videochat with his family with children literally yelling in the background and just being extremely unprofessional. As I'm going through the photos, the last photos he took did not appear on screen and he's looking at me clueless like this never happened to him before and turns out it wasn't on his memory card. So I went to go change and do the last pose again. Then after selecting, Ricardo asked me, "Am I the best photographer you ever had?" And I tell him "no, but this is one of the cool shoots I've done". Then he asks which other photographers I've worked with, and as he goes through the photographer's profile he criticizes the photographer who has done superb work and says that their photos are "too retouched" and that he works with different agencies, blah blah blah. Bullshit. You don't criticize someone else's work just because your own work is subpar. What frustrates me was that after he redeemed the Groupon (which was $79) he said that to get the edited photos and the gallery it was going to be $500. $500?!? I told him I'm not paying that, then he said that he'll "throw in 10 edited photos" and that he'll only charge $200 (additional to the $79 since he said that price was only to book him which made no sense). Looking back I shouldn't have given him anything. Not even a dime. He preys on women's vulnerability and does things in the moment and does not keep his word. He also makes people rate him on the spot in front of him just so they can feel pressured and lie then takes their money. The unedited photos were nice but he doesn't give you the full online gallery as other professional photographers actually do. He gives you a Google drive link (via text, not email) to only the photos you selected. Just unprofessional all across the board. Update: The Groupon only said 2 professional photos (which isn't even fair either). Ricardo sent me the 10 edited photos (plus 2 that I didn't ask for and were not my favorites either.) He did a TERRIBLE, half-ass, lackluster job editing. I could've done a better job editing them. In one photo he edited my left hip but not the right hip and I'm like why was that edited at all. He then used some beauty skin retouching effect that made my lips and body smaller. That's not editing or retouching photos. He doesn't know what he's doing and I'm surprised why he's getting so many rave reviews about his work because it's trash.

My boudoir photoshoot with Evgenia far exceeded my expectations! She made me feel incredibly…read morecomfortable and confident. Her studio has great light and big with ample backgrounds to get a diverse set of photos. I had never done any kind of studio photoshoot before so I really didn't know what to expect. Prior to my shoot, we had an intro call so we got to know each other a bit. When I arrived for my photoshoot, Evgenia coordinated hair and makeup for me. We shot 3 looks; 2 were from my own lingerie collection and 1 was body jewelry from her collection. Everything felt very natural, Evgenia coached me throughout our shoot and I had a ton of fun! A few weeks later, we did an image reveal in her studio, I picked out a package of a 20 image photo box, which by the way is a great product! It's a leather box with matted images that feels much more unique/special than a photo album. Great experience! Highly recommend! The photo box was a wedding gift for my fiancé. He loved it. But it was as much a gift for me as for him :)

From our very first interaction, he was so professional and helpful. I picked my studio of choice from the options he provided. He was punctual, patient and so kind! He helped me with my garter belt that I was struggling with, gave suggestions on how to pose and I never once felt rushed. I was so comfortable which helped make everything else so effortless. If you're considering a boudoir shoot in NYC, I would HIGHLY recommend you book with Boudoir photos NYC.

He answered all of my emails (full of questions) patiently and promptly. For the shoots he offers a ton of different studio options but will also book a hotel room if that's the vibe you're going for. He also helps you put a mood board together to ensure that you get the shots you want. During my shoot, he was super helpful in suggesting poses and coaching me to get just the right angle. Along every step of the process I felt he was going above and beyond. His rates are way more affordable than most NYC photographers, and he gives you ALL the photos with the fastest turnaround time I've ever seen! I'm thrilled with my photos and would highly recommend him.

Vin makes sure you are always comfortable and keeps a relaxed environment. The atmosphere becomes suited to your own personality, making you feel right at home. He is full of positive energy, and allows for your best self to shine through. His guidance is great, gentle and effective. Little effort is needed for you to try to be this or that because he simply wants you to be the beautiful you that you are and I love that so much. Vin's passion and technique show in his work. My images are so natural yet sensual and beautiful. He does remarkable work with lighting and highlighting the skin to make angles and parts pop in all the right ways. I would most definitely recommend working with Vincent Alongi for any shoots which you desire.

The whole process was seamless. Michael was great to work with when it came to scheduling and confirming everything, and the building was easy to find. I took his advice and had the Uber go to the building across the street and it worked like a charm. Dapheney and Philipp were so wonderful when it came to hair and makeup. I felt gorgeous and just told them to do their thing based on what they thought would look best. (And as a bonus, I got to look hot when seeing a Broadway show that night.) I felt like an old Hollywood screen siren. Raya was professional and INCREDIBLE. I used some of her costumes and she helped me feel way more comfortable than I ever thought I could in my skin. She knew the right lighting and angles to bring out my best features, and did I mention it was so FUN? I didn't know I could pose like that. I was able to see all the photos within a day and was blown away by her skill. My boyfriend was so impressed too and had a hard time choosing his favorites because there were so many good ones. We hope to do a session as a couple someday in the future when visiting NYC. If you're thinking about doing a session, book it! This is a present you'll give yourself and it's so worth it.

One of the things I like best is that our personalities really came through in the photos, something I can not say for every photographer. I highly recommend using her for any photos where you want a personal yet professional touch that captures you in the best light.
