I love food. I know I’m not alone in this, but I’ll say it all the same. Fresh vegetables, slow-cooked meats, cheeses, vodka infused noodles and cherry infused vodkas – I love it all.
As a freelance photographer with Philadelphia Weekly I have had the pleasure of photographing great food from some of the city’s best restaurants. I’ve photographed drinks with rose-petals, ice cream, fancy salads, huge bowls of noodles and prison food at Eastern State Penitentiary.
