City Island Restaurant Food Photography

in , ,

Nothing better than spending the afternoon in a new restaurant photographing their food. We photographed a lot more dishes than originally planned, it was an onslaught of seafood, surf and turf and the most amazing looking roast pork with crispy skin or crackling. I love working as a food photographer and would love to create more content like this for other restaurants in New York City or the Hudson Valley.

The advert ran twice an hour and had 46 portraits presented during the complete commercial that was split into two 30 second slots. They needed video and stills shot of the entire campaign. that ran both on Nasdaq and Reuters during the day and at night.

Pay my friends at Hudson River Recreation a visit before the weather drops too much this Autumn. It was super fun paddling out in a double kayak with my old friend John Clark to photograph this sunset tour of the Hudson River. Come explore New York's historic Hudson River with Hudson River Recreation. They are the premier sea kayak company in Westchester County with programs in Sleepy Hollow, Croton, Tarrytown, and many other local bodies of water.
