Quite often all the training in the world won’t give you a better photograph than being in the right place at the right time. I was in Bal Harbor shooting Antonio Bachour’s second pastry book and had an opportunity to photograph a couple of dishes by Executive Chef Brad Kilgore of J & G Grill (closed) at the St. Regis Bal Harbor Resort.
Check out where the sun is in the first set of photos. You can see how much smaller the sun spot was from the time the chef set the plate until I shot it. That spot was good for about three minutes. In the second set of photos, I found a fountain with only a quarter inch of water. It was the perfect setting for an oyster dish.

Alan Batt, better known in the culinary world as simply Battman, began his career as a photographer in 1981 shooting photos of city scenes and landmark sites of New York City. He began taking food photography in 2001, and has since become one of New York City's most recognizable culinary personalities. Battman is often seen riding his bicycle up and down the streets of Manhattan as he travels to and from photo shoots and meetings with the chefs.
