Tivoli Trattoria Stylized Food Shoot, Greenwich Village

NYC’s Tivoli Trattoria is a newly opened sister restaurant to the popular Baby Brasa, located across the street from each other in Greenwich Village. This 1-hour session (can you believe how much we covered in that one hour?) was specifically focused on showcasing Tivoli Trattoria's newly re-imagined Italian offerings in a visually stunning way.

The shoot took place in the restaurant's cozy and charming interior, which was decorated with rustic touches that gave it a warm and inviting feel. We used a variety of lighting techniques to create dramatic and visually appealing shots of the restaurant's dishes.

From the hand-crafted pastas to the perfectly cooked meats, every dish was beautifully presented and artfully arranged by their own marketing staff to capture the essence of their dining experience. We captured the dishes from different angles and played with various compositions to create a visual narrative that highlights the quality and craftsmanship of Tivoli Trattoria's offerings, and was a true collaboration between the team and myself. We worked together to ensure that every dish was perfectly presented and that each shot captured the unique flavors and textures of the food. The end result was a series of stunning photographs that showcase the restaurant's authentic Italian cuisine.

Here are some of my favorite images from this shoot (click/tap to view full size and un-cropped):
