Always happy to get booked for some food photography and always a pleasure working with the amazing team and chef at Great Performances.

Here is some food photography I did for Great Performances at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum's Summer Garden Party. I love working as the photographer for museums in New York City, so it was nice when those two worlds collide and I got to attend a party at the Cooper Hewitt but could focus on documenting the food and the general atmosphere. There was a super cool cotton candy vendor there, handing out sparkly Rose flavored candy.

About 8 or 9 years ago I used to photograph celebrity events nearly every day, or at least whenever I could race to my email quick enough to snag a contributor event for Getty Images. It was a crazy couple of years where I would run around New York City photographing anybody I could who might one day make me a few dollars on the stock site. I'd call myself a "celebrity event photographer" and that would often elicit the question, "Who's the coolest celebrity you've photographed?" I'd normally blush a little and get a bit embarrassed by the question, because the answer was honestly not what people expected: Anthony Bourdain. He was such a huge character, and lived exactly the life I'd dream of, traveling and eating all over the world. If you asked me my dream job more recently it would probably be to travel with Anthony Bourdain as his stills photographer. If I ever travel anywhere outside America I often look up whether Anthony Bourdain has been there, and then see where he ate. It worked a charm in Amritsar, India, where I ate one the greatest meals of my life that cost under $3.

Stone Barns just had a new litter of Red Wattle Piglets and it was perfectly timed for my scheduled shoot with Maggie in the Apiary. All images shot with a pair of Canon 5D Mark IV's, one with a 100mm F2.8 macro and the other has the amazing lighting setup you see below with a Canon 24-105mm F4 lens.
