Westchester Food Photographer - Red Hat on the River

Food photography for Red Hat on the River in Westchester, NY

Chat GPT says…

Snapping food photos at Red Hat in Westchester, NY is all about capturing the rich colors, textures, and vibe of the restaurant’s dishes. With its warm lighting and beautiful Hudson River views, the setting is perfect for creating mouthwatering shots. Using natural light when possible helps keep colors true, while a wide aperture (low f-stop) adds that nice blurred background (aka bokeh) to make the dish pop. Playing with angles—like an overhead flat lay for a full table spread or a 45-degree close-up for those rich details—keeps things interesting. A tripod can be handy in low light to avoid blur, and a little tweaking in Lightroom or Photoshop can enhance contrast and sharpness. Whether for social media, restaurant branding, or just showing off an amazing meal, the right mix of composition and lighting can turn a great dish into a scroll-stopping shot!

Nordstrom's Holiday Treasure Hunt

Here’s what chat GPT says

Working as the photographer for Mary Giuliani Catering at the Nordstrom Holiday event was such a fun and festive experience! The event had that perfect holiday vibe—elegant, but with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made everyone feel right at home. Mary Giuliani Catering truly outdid themselves, with stunning displays of delicious food and drink that were almost too beautiful to eat (but of course, everyone did!).

It was a blast capturing the guests enjoying themselves, mingling, and indulging in the incredible bites that Mary and her team had crafted. I loved snapping candid moments of people enjoying the delicious food and the beautiful decor while getting that cozy holiday spirit in every shot. The team’s attention to detail, from the elegant table settings to the perfectly arranged hors d'oeuvres, made my job so much easier.

Beyond the beautiful spread, it was clear that the event was all about creating memorable experiences, and I felt lucky to be there to document those moments. Whether it was the laughter shared over a cocktail or a guest admiring the stunning holiday displays, there was no shortage of genuine, joyful moments to capture.

I should really try and document more of my work that gets used across huge brands websites. Bluestone Lane do such a nice job with all the images I deliver. Sometimes they’re just simple product photos that get collaged across the site.
