July Food Photoshoots Roundup NYC
In July, I photographed food for around fifteen different restaurants across the city. Below are images from six of my favorite shoots — each with a distinct menu and visual style.
Pictured from top-left to bottom-right:
Avocados Mexican Grill — East Village, Manhattan
Bushwick Diner — Bushwick, Brooklyn
Garlic and Olive — Park Slope, Brooklyn
Good Days Cafe — Lower East Side, Manhattan
International Burger — Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Mapo — Flushing, Queens
Good food photography is about lighting, texture, and consistency — not chasing whatever light happens to be nearby. I build controlled setups that make dishes look intentional, appealing, and uniform across menus, delivery apps, and marketing materials.
If you’re a restaurant or food brand that wants images that actually match the quality of your food, I can help you create photography that’s clean, craveable, and built to work.

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.
