I am a still life photographer in Manalapan, NJ, with a focus on food and product photography. I service all of New Jersey, Philadelphia, and New York. Food photography has been my passion since the early 1980s. At that time, I was a science teacher and a weekend wedding photographer. Having the summers off, I worked as an assistant in New York City. For two summers I worked for Stu Peltz, a commercial still life photographer who told me that I couldn’t afford to become a photographer because in commercial photography, there was no such thing as a part-time or weekend photographer. Stu was a great photographer, a great mentor, and he was right. I put off my dream until I retired from 31 years of teaching science.
Well, retirement finally arrived in 2009 and the first thing I did was buy a digital SLR. (Canon EOS 5D Mark II) started renewing my skills and building a portfolio.
So, now I am a working commercial still life photographer based in Manalapan, NJ. I am fulfilling my dream doing photography of food.

Jerry has performed the photography for many of Benchmark's products, all of which met or exceeded my expectations. Jerry is easy to work with and available on short notice.
He shoots the products with minimal setup time and quickly adjusts the lighting background, etc. for the best possible end result.
I would recommend Jerry for any commercial photography.

Working alongside Jerry in 2016 was a pleasure. His attention to detail and expertise in Food Photography was exactly what we needed in providing a portfolio of pictures that really stand out among the crowd. The food stylist he provided for us was also extremely helpful in getting the exact look we wanted. Our marketing team was able to use these photos to produce a catalog that is sure to attract attention for our business moving forward. Highly recommend Jerry and his team!

As an on-line business, it was critical for our marketing to have various quality pictures of our food product because the visual was all the customer would see. Jerry’s portfolio displayed a brightness and crispness that we were looking for. Jerry’s professionalism and attention to detail is stellar and we will be contracting with him again for package photography when we are ready to place our product in retail stores.

As the owner of a small restaurant, I have tried many time to take food pictures for web site gallery and advertising specials. I was never really happy with the results. I decided to use a food photography specialist and Jerry was recommended to me.
The level of specialization is quite impressive. The attention to lighting, angle, and positioning was amazing. The results, fantastic.
This is truly a specialized field. To create really delicious looking images requires the artistic touch and technical skill of a professional. I am thrilled with the results.

We needed some product shots for our marketing literature and website and hired Jerry to help us out. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend working with him. He is an excellent photographer, with high-end equipment, great creativity, a wonderful sense of lighting and angles, and most of all, I felt that he wanted to help me get the right shots and get the best pictures possible. Although we had a number of shots to do, he methodically went through them patiently and at the end, even took a number of additional artisitic shots I did not request that will wind up in our materials. The pictures were fantastic. Also, his post-production with Photoshop was top notch and he turned it around very quickly. I could not be more pleased. Jerry was a pleasure to work with and I would work with him again easily.
