For this architectural interior photo shoot at ICHI Sushi, I had to arrive well after closing time so the place could be cleaned up and made photo ready. The main reason for this is because the main windows to the street bring in a lot of natural light, but not so much that the interior […]

La Posta has been creating some delicious Italian food in the Seabright neighborhood of Santa Cruz for a few years now. The chef is a little camera-shy, but is clearly proud of the food her kitchen is producing. Their pizzas are amazing, and I can’t wait to bring home some of their french bread loaves that […]

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 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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

To say that Fraiche in Palo Alto is a frozen yogurt shop is a misnomer. Don’t get me wrong, their froyo is fantastic – the best I’ve ever had! But they have tons of other lunch-y fare that will leave your mouth watering. During the course of this shoot, I’m not ashamed to say I sampled as […]
