Meet Fabio from @enotecalacaneveta He and his daughters run this small place in an even smaller town in Barbarano, one hour from Venezia. We met two nights ago when arrived here and needed a snack and a drink. He asked if we’d come back so he could make us pasta. We obliged and he made us the most exquisite squid ink pasta with seafood. He then invited me to see his wine cellar. I took this image with my iPhone. He and his daughter Barbara came to our table dressed in funny, curly wigs, were attentive and engaging and made our visit to this tiny place meaningful and enjoyable. Such lovely, warm people. The bar plays classic 80’s music all day and they are die hard supporters of their local soccer team Vicenza. Such a heart warming experience.

4 years ago in Catania, Sicily I worked with a group of fantastic professionals from @iphone_photography_school on a course about Food Photography. It was challenging but in retrospect one of the most interesting assignments I’ve ever had. This shot was taken at @boheme_mixologybar and it was the most fun I had on the trip.

On Thursday 2/26 I’ll be back on @creativelive discussing how Food Photography has changed…and stayed the same. Technology, social media and the rise of influencer marketing has deeply impacted our industry in both good and unfortunate ways. I’d like to put it all on the table through my classes and encourage and educate with this time. This image is a perfect example of one of the most striking changes in our business. How you say? I made this image in my gloomy kitchen on a snowy day, with my phone, edited on my phone and posted it without ever having to sit at a computer or engage in extensive post-production. What hasn’t changed…the WHY? Why make this image, for whom, and how does it engage my audience…some things in a blizzard of change remain true. Let’s discuss. Link in my bio.

Shooting with chef @michelecasadeimassari as he gets ready to launch his new bolognese sauce which is delicious, versatile and ready to eat hot or cold. Great on pasta, focaccia or even on chips. Perfect for Sunday dinner or game day snacks. Deliziosa! Grazie @giuliaperovich

One of my new favorite places in Bradley Beach NJ is @heypeachbakery These pretzels are just the tip of the iceberg. Their pastry, breads, coffee and snacks are all top shelf, artisanal wonders. I am always so impressed with their output…consistently delicious and aesthetically on point. I’ll be sharing more from them soon. If you are down here in the Asbury/ Neptune/Bradley area don’t miss Hey Peach.

Those viral cottage cheese bagels caught our attention so we thought we’d find out what all the hoopla was about…and it turns out to be entirely justified. These came out light, airy, tasty and fun to shoot. #bagels #cottagecheese #viral #bethanyfrankel

Just one of the many fun images made at @frankiesspuntino @frankiesspecialtyfoods @fandfpizzeria last week with @christianpetroni @editfishcook @michellelpiccolo The Franks complex is just a treasure trove of amazing sights, sounds, textures and a love of food and life. I hope it shows in our visuals.

Often you spend hours looking for the shot and other times you look up and the shot is right in front of you. @wohop17

Had fun running the @leica_camera M11-P with embedded Content Credentials through its paces today at the behest of @adobe @coleenjose for CAI. This is James and he showed interest in the camera and it gave me a chance to practice explaining what Content Credentials are and why they are so important to the future of photography and digital media. Thanks to James for letting me snap a few of him.

I invited my dear friend chef @pichetong to eat yakitori in Arlington last night but could not get a table. He instead casually said meet me at work at @hirayadc where he developed the dessert menu. He mentioned that @sharibayer was in town and was going to come as well. We arrived at the restaurant to be treated to a sublime 7 course tasting menu (look at my story) by chef @paolodungca

Leave it to Pichet to turn a night of “hey, let’s grab a bite” into a memorable meal and evening with friends. Thanks to Chef Paolo and his team for hosting us and opening our minds and palates with unique and delicious dishes.

It’s 90 today and things feel slow. On days like this I like to find a quiet place, a cool drink and close my eyes…then ask myself a question…what do I really feel when it’s hard to slow down? Anxiety? Fear? Stress? When I open my eyes the answers are clearer…what I feel when I can’t slow down is a need to do something for myself. Take a minute and do something for yourself and a lot of those other feelings seem smaller.

Meet @chefgaetanoarnone of @villalecorti in Tuscany. We visited chef and his wife @meiganarnone on our last trip to Italy and they graciously hosted us for lunch and gave us a fascinating tour and history lesson about the estate the live and work on. Chef has NY food roots at both Babbo & Otto. The estate is also a winery and olive oil producer that has been in operation for centuries. Take a look at my story/highlights to see chef in action. His food was sublime only to be matched by his charm and hospitality. It was such a pleasure to meet and spend time with Guy and Meigan. We only wish it could have been for more than an afternoon. If you are planning a Tuscan holiday @villalecorti is a must stop. #tuscany #italy #italytravel #gastrotourism

Part of building a package of photos for a client quite often includes a portrait that tells a story about them, their personalities and their business. @boheme_mixologybar in Catania, Sicily gave me and our crew great access that allowed me to really capture the essence of their dedication to creating a fun space for their customers. And who could possibly resist Sir Barry.

I took this image of a Columba…basically something like an Easter Panettone…for @giuliaperovich @lucciolanyc @acetaiagiusti and @michelecasadeimassari for a piece in @tmagazine T-List feature. It was an absolute pleasure working with Chef Michele and translating his vision of this seasonal classic. If you’ve never had a Columba…it’s a must try. This one is infused with @acetaiagiusti balsamico. Absolutely incredible experience.

I had the pleasure of photographing Thiru Kumar better known as the Dosa Guy of Washington Square Park in
NYC @nydosas for @eatingwell as the worst of the pandemic was ending. He was the most joyful man and such an inspiration and exactly what I needed to be shooting at that moment.
Upon reflection I think it was his energy as much as his food that drew people out of their homes to stand in line around the park to buy a dosa, get a smile and a selfie and a small slice of normality that day. @padmalakshmi endorsement doesn’t hurt either.

It’s been a year since I was in Sicily and I’m finally going through all of the images from that gig. This one is from the street market in Catania. I’ll be posting a lot from this trip as I expand and diversify the images I’ll be showing here. I’d like to reflect all of what my experiences in food these past years has brought to me and shaped my photography in ways I cannot reflect on the tabletop. Stay tuned. #sicily #catania #italy

Still thinking about this Tủy bò nướng from @saigonsocialnyc and @miss_hailan Left an impression both in taste and vision.

There was a time I said if I never shot another frittata I’d be perfectly content with that…then I saw this one from the archive and now I’m dreaming of frittata. The lesson here is that when you look at every step of a process, every angle that’s possible, every focal length and lighting possibility that even a subject you have shot 1000 times can still surprise you.

Here is quick #adobeexpressambassadors tutorial on how you can use both #Lightroom and #adobeexpress to create promotional social posts. I’m holding a new class and wanted to create a 3 page #ad for my learning academy. Here is how I did it.

This montage of tear sheets from 2015 popped up on my phone today. Fun to see them assembled like this.

While traveling from LA to Palm Springs last month I made my usual pilgrimage to @innout burger. This particular one was drive through only and this young man, Cesar, was patiently directing the traffic through the lanes. I walked over to take a picture of the sign and then noticed he wasn’t busy at that moment and asked to take his picture. He dutifully said he needed to be at his post but that I could take his picture. I got one frame and this was it. I think it captured everything I saw in this young man in that moment. My favorite picture from the trip. #innout #burgers #portraitphotography

In 2016 I had a chance to shoot @bluehillfarm for @chefdanbarber & master potter @greggfmoore This dish is called the Pecking Plate and it’s a collaboration that includes a multi-faceted contribution of the animal represented in the meal. The indentations in the pottery are made by chickens who peck at the pre-fired clay.
