Jennifer A. Uihlein, CEO & Photographer
Jennifer Uihlein has a diverse background spanning corporate communications, photography, journalism, documentary filmmaking, electronic news gathering, sports videography, and media management. As an independent documentary filmmaker, she has directed and edited two award-winning films, focusing on social issues and historical/personal narrative preservation. Her documentaries have been screened across the United States, in New York, and even in Australia.
Despite her success, documentary filmmaking wasn’t always her passion. “I once dreamed of moving to Hollywood and becoming the next breakout director,” Uihlein recalls. “It wasn’t until a professor introduced me to cinéma vérité and the works of Chris Marker, Frederick Wiseman, and the Maysles brothers that I recognized the artistic and storytelling potential of documentary film.” Her dedication to the craft has earned her multiple awards, as well as a grant from the National Board of Review.
With a strong foundation in storytelling and a keen visual eye, Uihlein naturally expanded from videography into photography and photojournalism. Her work has appeared in Newsday (print and online), Patch.com, The Long Island Press (print and digital), and Antun Publications. Recently, she collaborated with Kristina A. Holzweiss, providing reference images for Scholastic’s I Can Make book series.
As a producer, editor, and videographer, Uihlein has filmed 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 the sidelines, she also captures live-action sports at Columbia University Athletics, producing footage for broadcasts on ESPN+ and the 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.”
