KENNETH GOODMAN

Welcome!

My name is Ken Goodman and I'm a freelance photographer based in the metro New York area. I specialize in food and chef photography, concerts, events, and candid family shots. My published work has appeared in the stunning Art Culinaire Magazine and I am currently working on several cookbooks due out in 2012.

I've photographed, among others, Mario Batali, Emeril Lagasse, Jimmy Fallon, Michael Stipe, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Mariska Hargitay, Bryan and Michael Voltaggio of Top Chef fame, Grammy Award Winning Esperanza Spalding, Rock Legend Levon Helm, Weezer, Sir Richard Branson, Questlove of the Roots, Stanley Tucci, and Anthony Bourdain.

Prior to my photography career, I spent 20 years in the restaurant industry as a classically trained chef, culinary educator, and restaurant consultant. I'm a veteran volunteer supporter of Share Our Strength, and I'm also a member of the nationally ranked barbecue competition team, IQUE.

I'm an official photographer for:

The Mario Batali Foundation, nationally

The James Beard Awards Gala, NYC

Taste of the Nation, NYC

Hot Bread Kitchen, NYC

Can-Do Awards Dinner, Food Bank of NYC

Thank you for visiting, and please let me know how I may be of service!
