I had a quick shoot today with Lee Duvall’s Medallion Steakhouse in Burlingame. She wanted some interiors of the restaurant that opened late last year – and since this is my specialty I was on the case. We managed to shoot a tasty-looking steak (it was wayyy too rare to eat unfortunately) and some crab […]

I shot Junnoon in 2008 a couple times. The first time was overall coverage of the place, my typical new-client-gets-a-little-bit-of-everything photography. A couple months later I took a few shots to promote their outside brunch dining area, which is really nice. Fast forward two years, and Priya, the COO, calls me up saying they’ve redesigned […]

So, yesterday I shot some interiors for Faz at MacArthur Park Restaurant in Palo Alto, and they liked the photos so much they wanted to see what I could do with their food. I obliged, and invited some friends to help eat the tasty morsels. If I didn’t get help eating all the time, I’d […]

The Grill on the Alley, nestled next to Downtown San Jose’s Fairmont Hotel, oozes with class and sports a menu that will satisfy any discerning meat ‘n’ potatoes-loving connoisseur. I always enjoy shooting here, whether it’s food or interiors. When it comes to slabs of beef, The Grill keeps it simple. Meat, broccoli, and beer […]

Murphy Street, the one-block heart of downtown Sunnyvale, is getting totally remodeled right now. To the casual passer-by, it looks like a serious construction zone. But the businesses are still open, and there’s some true gems – new and old. One such jewel is Siam Taste, and although there’s nothing extraordinary going on from a […]

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 […]
