Restaurant Photographer in New York City

Photographs that make people want a reservation: the dishes, the room, and the people who run it.

The Approach

What a Session Is Like

A good restaurant shoot covers three things: the food at its best, the room as it feels at the right hour, and the people. I schedule around your service so the kitchen isn't disrupted, and I can shoot natural light, dim evening light or a mix.

You'll get a library of images sized for your website, Google Business Profile, delivery apps, press kits and Instagram, with licensing included.

Questions

Before You Book

How many dishes can you shoot in one session?

Usually 10 to 20 dishes in 3 hours, depending on prep and styling. We agree the list in advance.

Do I need a food stylist?

Not for most restaurants. Your kitchen plates the food and I handle light and composition. For campaigns, I can work with a stylist.

Can you shoot during service?

I prefer a quiet window before or between services, with a short ambience pass during service if you want guests in the frame.

Do you work with restaurants outside NYC?

Yes. Los Angeles and other cities are possible, and travel is quoted per project.

Couples & Engagements
