Food
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!

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!

However, that is hardly the case. I am learning bakeries sell savory dishes too, like La Luna Bakery and Cafe does. Not a single sweet item photographed that morning! Instead, creative looking stuffed pepper dishes like the one above.

I visited there on a food photography assignment where I met the friendly owner, Feryal, who was very meticulous in the presentation of the dishes. She even let me take home many of the foods you see above! Thanks Feryal!

I was expecting a cafe, but it was a kind of warehouse looking building with double industrial doors as the only possible entrance. Next door was a doggy daycare. Luckily the doors opened as I approached and I was welcomed by the owner, Cynthia. All good!
