Why Brands Love Working with Judy Doherty Photography
I'm a Southern California-based food, drink, and CPG photographer specializing in photography, video, and stop-motion for marketing, branding, advertising, and social media. With over 150,000 visuals delivered, I help bring products and packaging to life through bold storytelling and strategic creativity.
My sweet spot? Producing high-quality, on-brand content through a fast, flexible workflow that delivers on budget. My fully equipped studio features two tethered shooting stations, two staged lifestyle rooms, an outdoor patio, a camera-ready kitchen, a comprehensive prop and surface library, and a roster of local models, everything needed to bring your vision to life. My studio produces everything from the initial creative deck to final post-production edits, delivering outstanding results that make you and your product look great.
I hold a master’s degree from the Culinary Institute of America and began my career as an executive pastry chef, later transitioning into an award-winning visual artist. Honors include Lürzer’s Top 200 Digital Artists, ASMP Best AI Image, APA Top 100, and selection for Art Basel Miami satellite show. I also completed post-baccalaureate certificates in Visual Art and Graphic Design from the University of California, Berkeley Extension.
Let’s make something delicious together! I love teaming up with brands, marketers, social teams, agencies, chefs, and entrepreneurs to craft crave-worthy content that connects. Set up a call!
I have a Master’s Degree in Food Business from the Culinary Institute of America along with a Visual Art Certificate from UC Berkeley.
Bring me your idea, and I’ll turn it into magic! One recent project resulted in a 44% increase in sales. Whether in my fully equipped studio or on location, I offer flexible, professional production to bring your vision to life—beautifully and effectively.
