To my grandma Clara, who taught me about food. Because of the old days and Sunday dinners in the basement, you are the reason I am a food photographer.

About the Author
Bill Brady can trace his love of food back to early childhood. Surrounded by culinary wonders, his earliest memories of food were formed around the Sunday dinner table in his grandmothers basement in Brooklyn. Sharing a meal was the essence of life, and his world revolved around the endless courses that were laid out week after week. Those experiences created his bond with food that is forever sealed.
Bill has been a professional photographer since 1992 and has concentrated on the food niche since 1999. He has worked with Fortune 100 clients as well as household brands such as Ronzoni, Heinz, Sara Lee, Godiva, Absolut, and Boars Head, to name a few.
