Food Photography - NYBG Kids Culinary Weekend

in

It's always a pleasure to work at the New York Botanical Gardens, but especially when I'm asked to cover some of the amazing kids programs that include the edible garden and some great chefs. Check out Two Moms Kitchen for more recipe ideas and make sure you visit Matt Abdoo's new place in the Village, Pig Bleecker and Brooklyn joint Pig Beach.

Theater Photography - Angry Young Man at Urban Stages

Sometimes you have no idea what a photo shoot is going to entail, but this one turned out to be an absolute riot. I loved working with the cast of "Angry Young Man" and the amazing Director Stephen Hamilton. I can't wait to see the actual show and which photo they chose for the promotion.

Food Photography - Starr Catering at Rubin Museum

I love visiting the Rubin Museum, especially for the incredible food offered by Starr Catering in the Serai Cafe. I'd highly recommend all of the new dishes, especially the pork belly and the octopus.

Set Photography for Fox Sports at WKC

This is the first year that Fox has been the official network for the Westminster Kennel Club. It was really great to have the access to the show and photograph all the presenters working on the show floor and behind the scenes.

Food Photography - White Onion

More work on the light table with a product I'm eating for lunch. I love the white on white and even the reflection on the table. I wouldn't describe myself as a minimalist, but its starting to look that way after the last Coca-Cola post as well. Perhaps I'm a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my food photography.

Product Photography - Coca-Cola

We got a new fridge today and it seemed like a good opportunity to use it as a backdrop for some product photography. I think there's nothing with a more iconic shape in the fridge than a classic Coca-Cola bottle.

I think as a final image I would retouch the date stamp on the neck of the coke bottle.

Food Photography - Roast Garlic

There's nothing better than a whole head of garlic roasted in a hot oven. Every year I grow my own garlic so by this point in the winter I'm normally running low and whats left is desperately in need of eating. Why not take some photos of it on my light table before it gets consumed.

Fine & Rare Restaurant and Bar Interiors

I love seeing new bars and restaurants in New York City open, and its an even greater pleasure to photograph the new spaces. Tommy and his team have done an amazing job designing this high end cocktail bar and restaurant with a beautiful stage. I'm looking forward to getting back there in the coming week to photograph the food and drinks. It looks like they have an incredible selection of spirits. Take a look at their website here - Fine & Rare

I've been working on shooting interiors and open spaces with my iPhone 7 plus. The new camera on the phone does an amazing job and is starting to become usable in low light. The files need a little more processing, but are starting to look useable and can be a fun way to document a new restaurant.
