Bar Moga, located on Houston St is a 1920’s style cocktail bar with a bevy of options to drink and eat. The Infatuation was reviewing the spot so I was asked to shoot some photos, a handful of which are below.

Iichiko x Martiny's
in cocktails
Having worked with Iichiko before, it’s quite clear they are strategic with who they partner, and it would make sense for them to work with Martiny’s, a cozy yet hip Japanese cocktail bar on Irving Place. Mixologist Takuma Watanabe produced a gorgeous and green cocktail for the brand which you can view below.
Gilligan's
Gilligan’s is an outdoor oasis of a bar/restaurant at the Soho Grand Hotel. The client wanted their images to have a softness to them so, against my normal routine (and preferences), we shot only using natural light which did create a certain aesthetic that I’m happy to produce, but not the biggest fan of. It worked for the client, so it worked for me.
Madame George Interiors

Down the steps of Midtown staple, Valerie, you’ll find a new, quite large speakeasy known as Madame George. Despite the lack of natural light, the space feels verdant and open despite its subterranean position.
The Standard Grill
in food
The Standard Grill, the restaurant at The Standard Highline hotel, has a lovely bar with some elevated bar snacks. In addition to oysters, there are fried chicken sliders, tacos and other bites one might want to accompany a beer or martini. For this shoot, I really wanted to push the light through the drinks to assert their presence on the table so that they would be accompanying the food, as they are usually paired to do. This job was commissioned by The Standard Hotel.
Rosevale Cocktails
in cocktails
The Rosevale is a restaurant opening at the Civilian Hotel in Times Square and I was tasked to photograph their cocktails but also some process shots of their cocktails in action. The Carver Road Hospitality-led beverage director, dressed to the nines, and provided a great background for these shots.
The Independent
in restaurant
The Independent is a midtown-gastropub owned by The Stout Hospitality group. As one might imagine, in addition to all sorts of elevated bar-fare, the restaurant is known for their mixology and beer selection. These photos were taken for The Stout Hospitality Group for the marketing of The Independent.
