Mediterranean Food on Route 66

My latest UberEats professional food photography assignment took me to Yasmine’s Cafe near the University of New Mexico. The shoot began with a very well plated vegetarian platter including hummus, falafel, and wrapped dates. While I waited for the other dishes I enjoyed the view out onto Route 66 through the large floor to ceiling windows that provided great natural light for all the photos, as UberEats requires using only natural light (I supplement that with a silver reflector).

Wood & Natural Light Food Photography

A wood table by a large window with great natural light is always a good sign when starting a food photography shoot in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Such was the setup that greeted me as I entered The Cellar Tapas for an UberEats food photography shoot. Of course having great looking food is key as well, and owner Gabriel and his staff had all five meals ready to go when I arrived. I liked the presentation of the vegetarian platter in particular right on a thick, wooden cutting board.

Vegetarian Comfort Food Photography in ABQ

I have been vegetarian for over 22 years. It is much easier being vegetarian now than it was then, but a fully vegetarian restaurant is still a rare thing to come across. Thus, I was extra excited to get a UberEats food photography assignment for The Acres which features comfort vegetarian food, as they describe it at their Albuquerque, New Mexico location. Shawn and his staff were very prepared and helped out, with one waitress even hand modeling in the above shot1 And the topper, I got to take the green chile veggie cheeseburger to go! Thanks Shawn!

Views and Mac & Cheese!

Filling Philly’s has a great downtown location in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I made these professional food photographs for UberEats as I did some people watching through the huge floor to ceiling windows as I waited for the five dishes to come out. Thank you Branden for letting me take home the mac & cheese balls!

Poki Poki is just fun to say!

Back out on food photography assignments for UberEats in Albuquerque, New Mexico taking me to Poki Poki, an Asian-Latin fusion restaurant. You build your own bowl of food starting with a base and ending with toppings. This allows, as you can see above, for a wide variety of Poke Bowls you can create. My thanks to Julie for having everything ready and making this the absolute smoothest UberEats food shoot I have done so far!

Back on another food photography assignment for UberEats in Albuquerque, New Mexico this time at Papa Felipe's Mexican Restaurant in the northeast area of the city. It was great to meet Karen and Larry who had the food all out quickly and were helpful holding the reflector for the hero shot above! I find people really like to be impromptu photographer's assistants!

Albuquerque Food Photography Breve ABQ

February 01, 2018 in Food

One of my first food photography shoots for UberEats was at Breve ABQ in Albuquerque New Mexico. It was also one of my best no doubt to the fact that one of the owners, Billy, is a professional photographer too and really cared about presentation of the food and had a very nice table to use as a background. I have since gone back to Breve for a photographer's meet up he hosts!
