Howard DGA-15P Air to Air Photo Shoot 2022 In July 2022, I was given the opportunity to photograph two Howard DGA-15Ps in the air over Lake Erie. These beautifully restored aircraft are privately owned and maintained to a very high standard, so much so that the green Howard won Best in Show at Oshkosh 2019. If these planes look familiar, it’s because they both made a surprise appearance during our Liberty Aviation photo shoot for both day and night photos in 2021. Fun Fact: DGA in the name stands for “Damn Good Airplane”. I look forward to working with the… [Read More]

Delaware Bay Lighthouse Photo Workshop 2022
Delaware Bay Lighthouse Photo Workshop 2022 In August 2022, Lerro Photography chartered a large whale-watching boat so a group of photographers could view several lighthouses in Delaware Bay both day and night.

We mounted our large LED lights on the port side of the ship… [Read More]
Old Bedford Village Scouting
The Old West at Old Bedford Village Lerro Photography was invited to photograph a public “Old West” event at the Old Bedford Village in Bedford PA. I have been trying to put on a Wild West-themed photo shoot in Tombstone, AZ in recent years but the pandemic and other delays occurred. It was thought that if we could make enough connections at this Old Bedford Village event, it could open a door to making a future Wild West photo shoot happen. Throughout the day, I photographed reenactors in a variety of scenarios including gun shootouts, portraits, and everyday life. I saw some… [Read More]
