About Barbara Wrigley McDevitt

Hi, there! I’m Barbara Wrigley McDevitt, an independent, award-winning, professional food and beverage photographer. My goal with each image is to help you stand out in the food industry.

I call Southwest Florida home and focus my attention primarily on restaurants, food brands, resorts and entrepreneurs in the Naples, Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and Marco Island niches.

However, the occasional inquiry will pique my interest and I find myself cruising up I-75 to Sarasota, Tampa or St. Pete's or on a quick road trip east to Miami, West Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale.

I'm a light chaser, a content creator and a teller of stories without words. My photographic style emphasizes beautiful light, texture and contrast.

My working photography style is methodical, deliberate and detail-oriented. On set you'll see me adjusting a cocktail garnish to get just the right presentation, straightening the knot on a restaurant owner's tie (with permission) or making sure the peak on those mashed potatoes is perfect. I like to take my time during my shoots to craft images that exceed your expectations. The benefit is that during the post project review you won't be looking for a needle in a haystack of hundreds of images. Rather, you'll review a handful of exquisitely rendered images.

When I'm not working, you can find me gardening in my bromeliad garden, taking a walk along the coast looking for weathered driftwood (to host my bromeliads) or photographing the diverse local wildlife.

Thanks for stopping by! If you like what you see and you’re interested in working together, please contact me! Want to see more? Check out my Instagram account.
