Tonight’s restaurant photography session at Johnny’s Harborside Restaurant in Santa Cruz had a few goals: portraits of both the hostess and executive chef, some evening ambiance photos, and some customer photos. Unfortunately the fog rolled in right around sunset, so the timing didn’t work out when that evening’s diners started coming in, but it’s always […]

Ah, lovely food photography. Everyone seems to think it’s the toughest thing to shoot – but those people clearly haven’t tried photographing small children at the beach who want to look at anything but the camera. Food is so well behaved, I just want to eat it up. And I do. Regularly. Just another side benefit […]

“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 […]
