February Food Photoshoot Roundup; Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan

February was a slow month for food shoots, not just because it’s historically a slow month for photography in general, but also because I ended up in the ER! I still managed to eke out a few favorites, even though one day particular was wild: I called out of the first shoot because I wasn’t feeling well, went and shot the second one, and then… yeah, ER. But anyways, here are some of my favorites out of all that:

Annie's Kitchen: Kew Gardens Hills, Queens
International Burgers: Midtown East, Manhattan
Bagels Salads UrWay – Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn
The Artisan Crepe: Flushing, Queens
Uncle Peter's: Jackson Heights, Queens
UzDoner: Bensonhurst / Gravesend, Brooklyn

Even with all that chaos, these six spots reminded me why I love what I do: great food, great people, and a few moments worth capturing, even on rough days.

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D850 using a 24-85mm zoom lens, and all individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using custom-built presets.
