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 […]

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 […]

These are some of the best photos from a multi-day photo shoot at the fine restaurant MacArthur Park in Palo Alto. We had an aggressive list of objectives for the photography – to be used for marketing (print and web), advertising and general promotion. We shot some great BBQ food dishes (their specialty) – both by […]

“They” say food is the hardest thing to shoot. Well I guess “they” never had to deal with screaming toddlers and stressed out parents during a photo session! I suppose if my client was a fast food joint and the food they serve looks decidedly less erect than shown in marketing materials, then yeah, I […]

Karina Barragan, owner of Las Montañas Restaurant in Concord, needed some fresh photos of their food and drinks for their website and menu. I picked one of their large round wooden tables (it seemed to have some character) and set up the lighting equipment. Mixed in with the regular food and drink photos, I randomly […]

I did a shoot today at Le Papillon restaurant on behalf of South Bay Accent magazine. They wanted some shots of Le Papillon’s Chocolate Terrine made with Valrhona Guanaja 70 percent, Valrhona Jivara milk chocolate, and coconut oil. It’s not only visually stunning, but I’ll be damned if I was gonna leave without scarfing that thing […]

So, yesterday I shot some interiors for Faz at MacArthur Park Restaurant in Palo Alto, and they liked the photos so much they wanted to see what I could do with their food. I obliged, and invited some friends to help eat the tasty morsels. If I didn’t get help eating all the time, I’d […]

This is truly a unique dessert – variations of candied apples with some fruit and cheese. I’ve seen a lot of the stuff nice restaurants put out there, and so much of it is really getting tiresome. I mean, yes, I’ve had chocolate lava explosion or whatever you choose to call it. “Oh? You say […]
