Hawthorn Lounge (Architecture Photography) @ San Francisco, California

From the unlabeled, nondescript gray door entrance on Geary, you’d never know there was an epic underground lounge waiting 2 minutes from the sidewalk. Although I photographed the interiors on off-hours, when Hawthorn Lounge was closed, I could really appreciate the lavish decor, dark (yet brilliant) ambience, and the spare-no-expense sound system and general details. Enjoy some of […]

Lillian’s Italian Kitchen (Food Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

Lillian’s Italian Kitchen is one of those rare gems of a restaurant – family-owned, immensely popular, and probably benefitting from never really growing bigger. The restaurant itself is really small, really only enough room for maybe 25 people at a time. So it’s not unusual to show up and see a crowd of people outside […]

Custom Chandelier Design (Product Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

Local Santa Cruz artist Rachel C’s latest designs are custom wood and metal chandeliers that offer an artistic contrast between rustic drift-wood and metal/mechanical hardware and Edison-style antique light bulbs. We set up a studio of sorts in her work room to photograph her latest pieces. Enjoy! Recent “Product” Posts:

Bantam (Food Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

Bantam is a relatively new restaurant on Fair Ave. on the West side of Santa Cruz off Mission. It’s got a decidedly cool atmosphere with its distressed/recycled wood and artistic touches like the enormous airplane propeller-style fan. They’re known for their wood-fired pizzas which I was happy to photograph while I was there. Here’s a […]

“Communications Company” (Headshot Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

This local communications company in Santa Cruz regularly has executive meetings with employees that fly in from around the world. They usually meet at The Dream Inn, Santa Cruz – so I set up shop near their meeting space for some nice outdoor portraits. Check out the best photos below: Recent “Portrait” Posts:

Below are my favorite photos from this short food and portrait photography session: Recent “Food Photography” Posts:

“Tech Startup” (Headshot Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

A Palo Alto-based startup company needed some good portraits of their executives, so while they were having a retreat of sorts in Santa Cruz, I came to the estate they were staying at and set up a mini studio in one of the bedrooms. It was a little cramped, but I’m used to making the […]

Assembly (Food / Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

Assembly is Kendra and Zachary’s latest restaurant opening, located in downtown Santa Cruz, right next to Kianti’s. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is very natural, with lots of recycled wood contrasting with clean white surfaces. And of course, those antler chandeliers speak for themselves… Chef Carlo whipped up some of their specialty dishes […]

The Picnic Basket (Food Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

I took a few food photos at The Picnic Basket in Santa Cruz near the Boardwalk – it’s owned by the same people that run The Penny Ice Creamery and Assembly (both in Santa Cruz). All three locations have a focus on quality, organic food (and I might add taste), Definitely check it out if you’re in the […]
