Did this shot of a chef plating a dish. I don’t have a lot of shots like this in my portfolio, but I’m very happy with the way this turned out.  

Here’s something we shot this morning. Shooting pancakes is a lit like shooting pizzas. Pretty much the same kind of lighting…. I’m happy with it. Can’t go too moody when you’re shooting breakfast. Breakfast is “light and airy”, right?  

We shot ribs today. I find that ribs are one of the most difficult things for a food photographer to shoot. The photographer has to put just the right amount of shine in just the right places. Too many reflections doesn’t let the viewer see the color of the sauce, and too few highlights makes…

Photographing a three-day project having to do with “grilling” for a local supermarket chain.

Maybe I should pay attention to what other people look at, but I figure that if I’m happy with the shot, the clients are usually thrilled to death. The…

I took my family to this restaurant the other night and if you haven’t been there, you just goota go because they have some great food. (Get the shark fin pie for desert) Here’s a shot from a recent shoot we did together… I love going into a restaurant and seeing my work in the…

Been busy lately, so I guess the economy is turning around. I have a bunch of new things to upload and share with you. This is a project I did for a local supermarket chain. The shot was much more casual then I’m used to shooting, but it was a welcome change from the “perfectly…
