I did some editorial photography earlier this year for the local glossy magazine South Bay Accent. They needed a consistent look for the restaurant dishes that were being featured in the multi-page editorial spread. I’ve worked with them before, so they knew I was the right guy for the job. I shot most of the food photos you see below (the cover, the fish, and the right side of the last spread are by other photographers).
The artful Decadence Caviar Staircase from Katsu Los Gatos is a $1,200 culinary treat featuring Russian Sevruga, Imperial Osetra, Kaluga Sturgeon, Golden Osetra caviars, Japanese Wagyu shabu shabu, and Pacific spiny lobster sashimi topped with 24-karat gold leaf.
