Food isn’t just something we eat—it’s an experience. The colors, textures, and details tell a story before the first bite, and my job is to capture that story through the lens. I’m Brandon Castillo, a food photographer based in NYC, working with restaurants, chefs, and food brands to create mouthwatering imagery that grabs attention and drives sales.

With over six years in the industry, I’ve worked with some of the best in the food business, from intimate neighborhood cafés to high-energy restaurant kitchens. Every dish has a personality, and my goal is to bring that to life—whether it’s the perfect cheese pull, a beautifully plated entrée, or the behind-the-scenes magic of a busy kitchen.

How I Work: It’s more than just snapping pictures. I collaborate with my clients to understand their vision, their brand, and what makes their food special. Whether it’s menu photography, social media content, or high-quality visuals for marketing, I make the process seamless, stress-free, and results-driven.

When I’m not shooting, I’m exploring NYC’s food scene with my family, my little daughter loves food as much as I do , we are always hunting for the next great dish (and probably taking way too many pictures before eating). Food isn’t just my work—it’s my passion, and I bring that energy to every shoot.
