If you’re familiar with my blog, you’ve probably seen photos I’ve taken at Kaama Lounge before. They’ve made some changes to the look of the exterior and interior, plus have added a lunch menu, indian buffet style. Here’s a few shots I took of the interior – it was pouring outside so there wasn’t much […]

I’ve shot Chef Matt’s food before, but he’s got some new menu items at Kaama Lounge so I was obliged to do my thing! Kaama’s menu is motivated by “childhood comfort food with a gourmet twist” – and they’ve certainly made a splash in the foodie scene with a number of entrees and appetizers motivated […]

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 […]

I always have a tough time shooting the interiors of really dark places – not that’s it’s a technical challenge, it’s just that it’s so easy to bring out details that you really don’t want to see in a dark place. For example, when someone paints their ceiling black, it’s because there’s nothing up there […]

I deal in the advertising business every day. I know it can work, and that sometimes it doesn’t. I think one of the toughest decisions for any business is not whether to advertise or not – you really have to – it’s where to spend those advertising dollars. Then you have to figure out how […]
