Food Photographer — New Jersey/NYC Metro

I work with food brands, CPG companies, and publishers to create photography that communicates flavor, texture, and brand identity. With a background in art direction, I understand how images need to function, both strategically and commercially, before we ever talk about how they should look.

My food photography portfolio includes campaign work for Born Free Eggs, Sundial Foods, and Blissfully Better Chocolates, packaging photography for Meati Foods, and cookbook projects with Al Roker and Misty Copeland. These collaborations span everything from intimate studio setups to large-scale production shoots and lifestyle sets, always with a focus on images that perform as hard as the products they represent.

With more than a decade of experience in food and beverage photography, I've worked across virtually every category and context. Whether your brand needs clean, straightforward product photography for e-commerce and retail listings, elevated plated styling for editorial or advertising campaigns, or specialty work like splashes, drips, pours, and motion shots, I bring both the technical skill and creative vision to make it happen.

I especially enjoy working with emerging food brands and startups — companies like Tasty Ribbon, Heritage Kulfi, and Sundial Foods — who were building their visual identity from the ground up and needed photography that could grow with them. And I work regularly with established CPG companies, cookbook publishers, and creative agencies who need a reliable, experienced collaborator on larger productions.

I also understand the business side of food photography. Tight timelines, art director relationships, brand standards, and the need for images that translate across digital, print, and packaging; I've navigated all of it, and I know how to make the process smooth for my clients.

If you're a food brand, CPG company, creative agency or cookbook publisher looking for a food photographer who brings both artistry and strategy to the table, I'd love to hear about your project.
