Usually a sampler plate of food is not much to be impressed by, but at Cascal in Mountain View, it’s truly a site to behold – and you may want to bring a friend or three to help you tackle it. Every time I rotated this enormous dish to get new angles for the food […]

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 […]

Here’s a few dishes I photographed at the hottest new restaurant in Campbell – Orchard Valley Kitchen. The decor is rustic, contemporary. The plated dishes are elegant and sophisticated – and most important – tasty as hell. Here’s a few of my faves: Recent “Food Photography” Posts:

I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

Oh, you know – just some cookie photos I took during a commercial food shoot in Los Gatos. The chef behind these photos is starting a fresh cookie delivery service in San Jose – I can’t wait for it to be up and running! We took individual photos of 7 different cookie types for starters. […]

This was a dual restaurant shoot – with the goals to shoot some of Cafe Cruz’s more popular dishes as well as get some lifestyle portraits of some couples enjoying the nighttime ambience indoors near the fireplace and outdoors on the patio – by another fireplace and a fire pit. Lots of good stuff, this is […]

Gabriella Cafe is a romantic little cafe off the main thoroughfare of downtown Santa Cruz, perfect for intimate dinners for food and wine lovers. It’s understated decor doesn’t scream at you from the sidewalk, so if it weren’t for the entrancing odors wafting out, it would be easy to pass by without notice. But those […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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

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 […]
