I’m looking to photograph more coffee shops and cafes around New York City. There’s a certain charm about these spots—the cozy atmosphere, the art of coffee making, and the unique personalities of each place. I enjoy capturing the vibe of a café, from the rich textures of the coffee beans to the energy of the people who make these places feel like home. Whether it’s highlighting the design, the baristas in action, or the simple beauty of a perfectly brewed cup, I’d love to help bring your coffee shop’s story to life through photography. If you’re looking to showcase your space or products, I’d love to work with you!

Stone Barns Spring Feast

Working as a photographer for Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture has been a rewarding experience. I’ve had the privilege of capturing the incredible work being done by dedicated farmers like Jason Grauer and Jack Algiere. From documenting the growth of sustainable farming practices to capturing the beauty of the land, it’s always inspiring to see how passionate individuals are making a difference in the food industry. Every photo tells a story of hard work, dedication, and the connection between people and the land. It’s been an honor to document their efforts and share their impact through my lens.

The Stone Barns Spring Feast is an annual culinary event held at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, located in Pocantico Hills, New York. Stone Barns Center is a nonprofit farm and education center that focuses on sustainable agriculture and food systems.

The Spring Feast is a celebration of the spring season and the abundance of fresh, locally grown food. It brings together renowned chefs, farmers, and food enthusiasts to showcase the flavors and techniques that highlight the farm-to-table movement. The event typically features a multi-course dinner prepared by guest chefs using ingredients sourced directly from the farm and the surrounding Hudson Valley region.

Guests at the Spring Feast can expect an exquisite dining experience that emphasizes seasonal and sustainable cuisine. The menu often includes a variety of dishes that showcase the best produce, meats, and dairy products available during the springtime. The chefs work closely with the farmers and artisans associated with Stone Barns Center to create a menu that highlights the flavors of the season and supports the principles of sustainable agriculture.

In addition to the meal, the Spring Feast may also include educational components such as farm tours, workshops, and presentations that explore the importance of sustainable food systems and the work being done at Stone Barns Center.

Attending the Stone Barns Spring Feast offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for good food, sustainable agriculture, and environmental stewardship. It's a chance to support the mission of Stone Barns Center while enjoying a memorable dining experience in a beautiful farm setting.

From Chat GPT - As a photographer for Andrews Honey beehives on the roof of One Bryant Park, I have had the privilege of capturing stunning images of these incredible creatures in action. The beehives, located atop one of the most iconic buildings in New York City, are home to tens of thousands of bees who work tirelessly to produce delicious honey.

Working as a photographer for Andrews Honey has been a fascinating experience. It's not every day that you get the opportunity to witness bees up close and personal, let alone photograph them in action. The rooftop beehives at One Bryant Park provide a unique and beautiful backdrop for capturing these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.

One of the most incredible aspects of photographing the bees is seeing the intricate patterns they create while collecting nectar and pollen. Watching them work in unison is truly mesmerizing. From the moment they leave the hive, the bees are on a mission to gather nectar and pollen from flowers located in nearby Central Park. Once they return to the hive, the bees work together to turn the nectar into honey, using their wings to fan the hive and evaporate the water content from the nectar.

As a photographer, it's my job to capture the beauty of this process in stunning detail. I use a range of techniques to capture the bees in action, including macro photography and high-speed shooting. The results are breathtaking. From the individual bees to the complex patterns they create, every image tells a unique story of these incredible creatures.

Andrews Honey is a company that takes great pride in their beehives and the honey they produce. They are committed to sustainable beekeeping practices and work tirelessly to ensure that their bees are healthy and happy. As a photographer, it's an honor to be a part of this mission and to capture the beauty of these bees for the world to see.

In conclusion, being a photographer for Andrews Honey beehives on the roof of One Bryant Park has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It's given me the opportunity to witness the incredible work of these fascinating creatures up close and capture their beauty in stunning detail. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing company and look forward to continuing to capture the magic of the Andrews Honey beehives for years to come.

New York Restoration Project Seed Saving with Jason Grauer

I joined Jason Grauer, Crops and Seeds Director at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, and NYRP’s Urban Agriculture Team to learn the guiding principles of seed breeding and seed saving. The hands-on workshop included explanations and demonstration of what gardeners can do late in the growing season to save their own seeds for the year to come.

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.
