Judy Doherty Photography

I’m a food, beverage, and CPG product and content photographer based in Southern California. I specialize in photography, video, and stop-motion graphics for marketing, branding, advertising, and social media. With over 150,000 images, videos, and motion graphics delivered, clients trust me to bring their brand, product, or packaging to life through storytelling. My creative direction and passion ensure every concept is elevated to its fullest potential.

My strength is in delivering creative content through an agile and efficient process. Clients appreciate the value of high-quality visuals at a reasonable cost, as my studio can design, style, and shoot images quickly and within budget. We're fully prepared to bring any vision to life with an extensive surface library, prop collection, a fully equipped kitchen, and two shooting studios.

With a background as a chef, stylist, and photographer, I have earned multiple awards, including Lurzer’s Top 200 Digital Artist Award, ASMP Best AI Image Award, APA Top 100, an ACF Gold Medal, and selection in a juried fine art photo exhibit at Art Basel Miami. I previously served as Executive Pastry Chef at two Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. I later completed post-baccalaureate certificates in Visual Art and Graphic Design at UC Berkeley Extension in San Francisco.

I’m passionate about collaborating with marketing teams, brand managers, agencies, PR firms, brand strategists, graphic designers, influencers, chefs, and entrepreneurs to create vivid, authentic imagery that captivates and engages the viewer’s visual taste.
