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 […]

I’ve been shooting at Le Papillon restaurant in San Jose for, gosh, many years. And while my skills have definitely improved in that time period, their food started out awesome (and continues to be so). Scott Cooper is such a creative chef, I love seeing what he comes up with. When we’re collaborating, it’s definitely […]

This is evening two of my two-day Fogo de Chão photo shoot – check out the evening one results here. I’ve shot quite a few Bay Area Brazilian churrascarias (steakhouses), so I’m no stranger to their gaucho servers and skewers of hot-from-the-oven hunks of meat. The food is delicious and the experience is one-of-a-kind. I […]

I’ve shot quite a few Bay Area Brazilian churrascarias (steakhouses), so I’m no stranger to their gaucho servers and skewers of hot-from-the-oven hunks of meat. The food is delicious and the experience is one-of-a-kind. I was honored to work on behalf of my friends at Wagstaff to shoot the latest restaurant opening for their client […]

South Bay Accent Magazine contacted me because they were doing a story on the best Tapas restaurants in the South Bay; I went to Ciano’s in Campbell, Donostia in Los Gatos, La Catalana and Picasso’s Tapas in downtown San Jose, and The Basin in Saratoga. The best part about food photography is working with amazing […]

Food photos of the delicious salmon tacos at Zona Rosa on the Alameda in San Jose. It’s a total hole-in-the-wall but well worth it if you can get a table!

“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 […]

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! If you’re looking for something a little different for your sweetie this year (especially if she’s a foodie), try serving her flowers instead of merely delivering them! I don’t recommend frolicking in the nearest field, picking flowers with wild abandon and hoping they’ll all be delectable – best to leave it […]

Fahrenheit Restaurant and Lounge, located on the corner of San Fernando and 3rd in San Jose, is truly one of downtown’s secret gems. It’s known for its nightlife, but not so much for the fantastic gourmet food they produce. Christopher Graves takes food creation seriously, and I’m here to prove it. We shot a bunch […]

In my last post, I showed some select shots from the first shoot with Matt Mermod, the Executive Chef at soon-to-be-open Kaama Lounge in San Jose. We were experimenting with high-speed (1/800 sec) food photography, which is fun, but a little stressful for the photographer (aka me) as I really only had one chance to […]
