I brought artificial lights with me just in case I needed them for those kitchen shots (above) where the lighting tends to be very yellow and harsh, but a lot of these were taken right by a window, with indirect light. Most of these photos barely needed any editing at all, which is a dream come true for a photographer. I’m actually sharing these because it showcases the importance of GOOD LIGHTING. Now, I’m not sharing these just to humblebrag about how great I am at food photography. This was Jan 2020 – a much, much simpler time. Most recently, I was hired by Time Out magazine, where I was shipped up to Boston for 2 nights to photograph the brand new Time Out Market.

I have been hired as a food photographer by many publications and restaurants in New York, New Jersey, Miami, LA, and Chicago. I like to think I have a good eye for it, but I 100% believe that food styling and editing is a big part of the photography game. One of the questions I get asked the most is: how do you take such great photos?!įirst off, I believe that some people just have a great eye for food photos.
