Jennifer A. Uihlein, CEO & Photographer
Jennifer has a varied background in corporate communications, photography, journalism, documentary filmmaking, electronic news gathering, sports videography and management. As an independent documentary filmmaker, she has directed and edited two award-winning documentaries, and is drawn to social issues as well as historic/personal narrative preservation; films have appeared at various screenings in New York, throughout the United States, and in Australia.
Despite her success, there was a time when she didn’t appreciate documentary films. “I envisioned moving to Hollywood and becoming the next breakout director,” Uihlein said. “It wasn’t until one of my professors introduced me to cinéma vérité and the likes of Chris Marker, Frederick Wiseman and the Maysles brothers that I realized the great artistic and storytelling-potential of documentary films.” Her documentaries have earned her several awards, as well as a grant from the National Board of Review.
With roots in storytelling and a visual eye, it was no surprise when she branched out from videography to explore photography and photojournalism - her works can be seen in Newsday's print editions and online at Newsday.com, Patch.com, print and digital versions of the Long Island Press and in Antun Publications. Recently, she partnered with Kristina A. Holzweiss, creating reference images for the "I Can Make" books series for Scholastic.
As a producer, editor and videographer, Jennifer captured and edited hundreds of full-length feature-games, interviews, and highlight videos for MSG Varsity, MSG Varsity Interactive, MSGVarsity.com and MSG Varsity's The Talent Show.
A familiar face on campus, Jennifer can be found behind the videocamera capturing the action at Columbia University Athletics sporting events, streamed on ESPN+ and SNY Network.
Dominick Ricciardi, Photographer & Artist
I started photography in 2002, so I wouldn't have to hire one to take content images—I was a Web Designer that was always in need of content: head shots of clients, reference photos of products, and lifestyle photos. Instantly I was hooked.
Throughout the years I expanded to every form of photography and digital art that I could get my hands on—everything from landscape and street work to full scale events, sometimes coordinating with multiple photographers.
After opening a portrait studio in Long Island in 2009, I also started photographing for MSG Varsity, capturing local high school sporting events, where I always had the best seat in the house—right on the field or on court!
Web designer, photographer, coder, audio engineer, Dominick doesn’t like to leave any senses undiscovered.
After years of study to find the commonalities in the various religious mythologies, thru his abstract pieces, Dominick found a way to bridge religious symbolism, studies of mathematically theory and his love for art and created a body of work, Folded Geometry, encompassing a gallery show, large scale prints, and art book. Photography and Digital Media allows him to put his vision to life on his own terms.
With any new interest or hobby, Dominick jumps in with full gusto, putting his heart and soul into everything he does and creates.
“As a visual artist, I derive my work from personal history and experience. I am reminded that everywhere we walk, work
and live, the land covets a story—we have a story—and there’s a lot left untold. Let’s share these stories together.”
