Commercial Food Photography at the Stanford Campus in Palo Alto

This was an EPIC all-day photo shoot shooting over 60 staged dishes created by 14 chefs and many other people. By the end of the day we were all exhausted, but super happy with the results. We started out with some portraits of the female chefs then quickly launched into food, food, and more food. There’s not much […]

Zeppoles – Dessert Photos at East Coast Alice in Saratoga

Zeppoles are basically fried donut holes, and these particular doughy balls of deliciousness are served with a side of Nutella and some other red sauce that I cared not about – it was all about those warm zeppoles and dipping them into the chocolatey goodness that is Nutella. Good photos to follow, but not as good […]

Grand Marnier Soufflé at Le Papillon in San Jose

I met up with the talented Executive Chef Scott Cooper at Le Papillon in San Jose to photograph one of their finest desserts – the Grand Marnier Soufflé. This particular dessert has a very short window for photographing – much more so than ice cream, in fact. As soon as it comes out of the […]

Cafe Cruz (Restaurant / Lifestyle Photography) @ Soquel, California

Cafe Cruz in Soquel wanted to show off their awesome romantic ambiance – different areas inside and out on the patio that are all next to open fireplaces or fire pits. They certainly add a lot of figurative and literal warmth to the locale. Here’s a few photos highlighting the spaces with some couples. Recent “Food Photography” Posts:

Lots of good stuff, this is […]

Fogo de Chao (Architecture Photography) @ Santana Row, San Jose, California

I was hired to shoot architectural interior and exterior photos of Fogo de Chao’s newest location at Santana Row in San Jose, California. There are several challenges to this spot – it’s on a high traffic location (both foot traffic from the mall and cars from the main roads), it has a stoplight and streetlight right in […]

Ichi Sushi (Architecture Photography) @ San Francisco, California

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 […]
