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

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.

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.

Woke up before my wonderful friends and LA hosts @alexdisuvero & @florakay_makeup. Fumbled through their kitchen quietly to cobble together some breakfast. Made these delicious PB & Banana toasts…then walked into the dining area to a beautiful room full of soft light…so not only was breakfast an improvisational success…so was this unintentional photo shoot. Always be open to the possibility that art can just happen…#foodphotography #iphonephotography #iphone13pro

In preparation for Super Bowl XLVIII (2014) Essex Street NYC. Spoiler alert…The @seahawks and @dangerusswilson won that year…so the cook featured in this shot was happy and full that night.

You know you’ve been around a long time when you find a picture in your archive that you have absolutely no recollection of taking. The metadata told me I actually did make this picture. Maybe I sampled a few too many of these lovely summer cocktails after the shoot…yeah…that must be it. 🍹🍹🍹🍹

This one just popped up on my phone. April 2020…made me think about how crazy it was executing a shoot this complex without a crew. Grateful for all of you out there who have helped make these shoots doable all these years. Stylists, assistants, PAs, etc. Grazie!

Thinking a lot about Sicily today. Remembering the sites, sounds and smells of my time there this spring. This image was of a street food vendor in Catania. We went back multiple times for various offal delicacies. So many fantastic shooting opportunities like this one too. Cannot wait to get back!

Today at Andrew Scrivani Academy I wrote about the power of repetition in the creative process. We also have some really impressive new works and writings by so many of our members. Also, posted today is a comprehensive list of essential resources for photographers. We also have a Beverage Photography chat scheduled with our own @freddyclarkphoto next week. Don’t miss out!

Captured at the #vucciria market in Palermo with iPhone 13 Pro Max. Shooting flames is sometimes an exercise in patience as you need to hold position and wait for the moment to press the shutter. In this case moments before I got this shot one of the meats in the right lower corner of the frame started squirting juices all over me…but I stood my ground knowing those juices would ignite the coals and create a good flame shot opportunity. I got dirty…but I got the shot…and all the neighborhood strays followed me around for a few moments.

One of my favorite images from Sicily I took on the piano @boheme_mixologybar using my @platypodtripods and @lumecube setup. It was a lesson in both how to use lighting and equipment to make a shot but also of how to capture the essence of a space by incorporating an iconic element of the decor in the image. I have great memories from this place, it’s owners and their pup. All of this combined to make a great learning opportunity.

In the kitchen at @giuseppecostailbavaglino I made this shot in the actual work station of Chef Costa. No propping, no food styling, no lighting…it’s almost like this kitchen was designed with food photography in mind…flooded with daylight through frosted windows…a gorgeous marble table top and of course beautiful food. Shot with an iPhone 13 Pro Max handheld. A perfect example of using what is given to you in any given scenario with the best camera you could possibly have…the one you have with you. #foodphotography #sicily #terrasini

This image sums up what I’ve been doing in Sicily these past three weeks. Beauty on the plate in a magnificent setting with stunning light. I took this on the patio that will be the new dining area at @giuseppecostailbavaglino overlooking the sea. No modifiers. No filters. Just raw natural elements providing everything I needed to take a food photo. I was here to teach but learned so much about where my identity and my art come from. The warmth and generosity of everyone we met here was truly humbling. Hopefully, I can make more images and memories in Sicily in the future but I am very grateful for this time regardless. I have another day here to soak it in and I intend to enjoy it. Arrivederci, Sicilia. Grazie mille.
