February Food Photography Roundup, various locations NYC

Over the course of any given month, I usually shoot between 5 and 20 different food-focused sessions, capturing the essence of Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan for various restaurants. From dinosaur BBQ to Good Eats by Izzy catering, each establishment had its own culinary tale to tell. Some shoots were for food delivery platforms, while others were private hires, but all aimed to create visually enticing content.

Hudson Clearwater enchanted with its charming ambiance, while La Rina transported us to the streets of Italy with its rustic Italian fare. Sushi Tokyo impressed with its artful sushi creations, and Baby Brasa brought a burst of flavor with vibrant Peruvian cuisine. Through these photoshoots, I had the privilege of capturing the passion and dedication of talented chefs, and the result was a visual feast that showcased the diverse culinary landscape of New York City.
