Robert Food Photo
I am a local restaurant food photographer in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
My career as a food photographer started two years ago when I began to create content for social media. Since then, I have dedicated all of my focus to improve my skills, and make a living from doing something that I love.
Winning photos
This photo captures a beautifully curated mini bites and cocktail pairing setup from Wild Kitchen in San Juan, Puerto Rico, shot as part of their tasting menu experience. Set atop a rich, polished wooden table with organic textures and patterns, each element pops with vibrant color and intentional placement.
The composition balances refined cocktails with artfully plated bitesâeach one telling its own story while contributing to a cohesive visual feast. From a soft pink martini to a dark espresso cocktail, and a variety of creative garnishes and plating techniques, the scene feels elevated yet inviting.
This photo captures a smoky Old Fashioned in the middle of its dramatic reveal at Loja Speakeast in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. Shot with a strong key light from the side, the image freezes the swirling motion of the smoke as it lifts from the glass, highlighting the rich amber tones of the cocktail beneath.
The texture of the smoke, combined with the clarity of the glass and the warm reflection off the bar, creates a moody, cinematic moment that feels both intimate and bold. The bartenderâs hands in the background give it that behind-the-scenes energyâlike youâre getting a front-row seat to the magic.
Sometimes you never know what splash you are going go get and you find out in post editing.
Thanks to the team at Bar La Unidad in San Juan Puerto Rico for the creativity.
At Botanico in Calle Loiza San Juan, we tried to include nature and green in each shot, and the photoshoot came out awesome. This ceviche was beautiful, and we added a little bit of the surroundings for the final touch.
