City Island Restaurant Food Photography

Nothing better than spending the afternoon in a new restaurant photographing their food. We photographed a lot more dishes than originally planned, it was an onslaught of seafood, surf and turf and the most amazing looking roast pork with crispy skin or crackling. I love working as a food photographer and would love to create more content like this for other restaurants in New York City or the Hudson Valley.

2017 Young Farmers Conference at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture

It was another amazing few days on the farm at Stone Barns learning about farming, food and agriculture from some of the best people on the planet. There were some pretty serious discussions too around equality and land reform that got directed at Mark Bittman. I'm not sure the question that sparked the discomfort was as clearly stated as intended so I don't entirely think Bittman was at fault for his answer, but the idea behind the discussion is important and needs to be brought to the forefront.
