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!

I’d love to photograph more food and chef events around Westchester and New York City. I’ve always had a passion for capturing food, whether it’s a beautifully plated dish or a chef in action behind the scenes. The energy of food events, especially when talented chefs are showcasing their craft, is something I really enjoy documenting. If you’re hosting a food or chef event in the area and need a photographer who can capture all the delicious details and exciting moments, I’d love to connect and help bring your event to life with some photos
