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 […]

I did a shoot today at Le Papillon restaurant on behalf of South Bay Accent magazine. They wanted some shots of Le Papillon’s Chocolate Terrine made with Valrhona Guanaja 70 percent, Valrhona Jivara milk chocolate, and coconut oil.
