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 paraphrase Charlie Hong Kong’s owner when she first told me about her restaurant: “This is fast food/takeout, but with local, organic ingredients.

I had an ambitious morning shoot with Charlie Hong Kong, shooting food, kitchen action, and the content of this post – the location and details. There’s some really neat muralist design/artwork on the walls, and the location itself is iconic for the Santa Cruz area. The poster board is a favorite resource for locals to […]
