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 […]

OK, so it’s not “real” pizza dough, but it still takes some mad skills and coordination to work these things! Still photos don’t really do these guys and gals justice, though – you’ve gotta see them in action on Friday and Saturday nights!

The key light is coming from three Nikon SB-800 speedlights optically triggered and shooting through a 30″ softbox camera-right. […]

Newly opened in Palo Alto, right off University Ave., Baklava is a welcoming, open sidewalk/patio Mediterranean restaurant specializing in a blend of Turkish and Greek cuisine (and drinks). People may be familiar with a similarly-named restaurant in Mountain View, and this is the newest incarnation of that well-loved location. I met with the owner over […]

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 […]

I met with Executive Chef Matt Mermod at Kaama Lounge, which is slated to open in the next couple of weeks at 385 S. Winchester Blvd., near Santana Row in San Jose. We wanted to do something a little different from the norm with the food shots – somehow make them more dynamic with action […]

Went back to Shokolaat today to shoot this fine, fine duck dish. Shekoh, the owner, was kind enough to let me eat it afterwards, and it was mighty deelish! It’s usually served with rutabaga instead of green beans, but I’m not complaining. Check this place out, it’s a must-visit restaurant if you’re wandering down University […]

Why would anyone need a ten-thousand-dollar machine dedicated simply to kneading dough into varying strips and extrusions? Well apparently it makes the chef’s job way easier. And if you’re the Four Seasons, nothing is too good for Chef Alessandro. He’s a soft-spoken guy, but I’ve never seen him so excited as when he’s wielding the […]
