Happy Thanksgiving

This week is a week of cooking…strangely enough for a food photographer, something that I don’t particularly care to do. Perhaps I should photograph tomorrow’s turkey. Not if it looks like last year’s 🙂

That is why I always prefer to work with a food stylist. As someone has said, “Shooting food photography without a food stylist is like making a movie without a make up artist.”

I am thankful for many things in my personal life. Professionally however, I am thankful that I work with wonderful clients – both food and product photography clients – and that I have found extremely talented food stylists that make me look good.

So, I am taking this moment to say thank you. Have a great holiday.

Please visit my portfolio at www.photography-by-jerry.com and I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I did shooting it. My latest photo book can be seen HERE. You can always contact me by e-mail at jerry@photography-by-jerry.com. Thanks for reading.

About Jerry

I was a science teacher for 31 years. During that time I photographed wedding and Bar Mitzvahs for about 15 years but that was in the days before digital. Being a teacher, I had my summers free so I assisted food and commercial still life photographers in NYC for 3 summers and fell in love with it. Having a wife and a mortgage, it was not practical to give up a job in teaching and go into photography so I put off my dream of becoming a food photographer until I retired from teaching. Now I am living my dream - I am a food and product photographer servicing New York City, Philadelphia and all of New Jersey.
