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 […]

Junnoon (New Lounge, Cocktails)

A couple months later I took a few shots to promote their outside brunch dining area, which is really nice. Fast forward two years, and Priya, the COO, calls me up saying they’ve redesigned […]

Fibbar & Molly Magee’s

Nice guy named Liam owns both these well-known local Irish bars. Molly Magee’s is in Mountain View, Fibbar Magee’s is in Sunnyvale. They are very similar in execution, here’s a few photos from the shoot. I did do some HDR processing on some of the shots as they are very dark inside, but the flip […]

Trevese, the Inside Story

Like that other restaurant, Trevese has whipped the old victorian-style mansion into an environmentally-friendly frenzy. I don’t know exactly what it means but The Wave can explain it better here. Something about ethics. Whatever. I’d been trying for over a year to find an excuse to get some interior photos of this fancy restaurant and […]
