I took a few food photos at The Picnic Basket in Santa Cruz near the Boardwalk – it’s owned by the same people that run The Penny Ice Creamery and Assembly (both in Santa Cruz). All three locations have a focus on quality, organic food (and I might add taste), Definitely check it out if you’re in the […]

Mauro poses for me at the main entrance to his restaurant before I take photos of a few of his favorite dishes. I only spent a brief time at Main Street Garden Cafe in Soquel, but it was long enough to know I’ll definitely be back – with my appetite! Recent “Food Photography” Posts:

To say that Fraiche in Palo Alto is a frozen yogurt shop is a misnomer. Don’t get me wrong, their froyo is fantastic – the best I’ve ever had! But they have tons of other lunch-y fare that will leave your mouth watering. During the course of this shoot, I’m not ashamed to say I sampled as […]

I’ve been shooting at Le Papillon restaurant in San Jose for, gosh, many years. And while my skills have definitely improved in that time period, their food started out awesome (and continues to be so). Scott Cooper is such a creative chef, I love seeing what he comes up with. When we’re collaborating, it’s definitely […]

This is evening two of my two-day Fogo de Chão photo shoot – check out the evening one results here. I’ve shot quite a few Bay Area Brazilian churrascarias (steakhouses), so I’m no stranger to their gaucho servers and skewers of hot-from-the-oven hunks of meat. The food is delicious and the experience is one-of-a-kind. I […]

I’ve have perhaps two dozen shoots at Sent Sovi over the past five or six years, and Josiah never fails to amaze me with his culinary creations. He’s on top of his game with his restaurant Sent Sovi in Saratoga. Now that they’ve got a Wine Bar, there’s even fewer reasons not to visit this excellent […]

It was great making the trip up to The Westin San Francisco again to see my contacts there, and work with Executive Chef John Hart to create these amazing new dishes. And by work with, I mean “bow down to his awesomeness, take a few photos, and taste the deliciousness of the new food items.” […]

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 […]

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!
