Chocolate Terrine, You Are In My Dreams (Food)

Le Papillon Appetizers, Executive Chef Scott Cooper Portraits

I met up with Scott Cooper at Le Papillon in San Jose to get some fresh shots of some of their appetizers. I love shooting Scott’s food because you can pretty turn any photo into ten additional photos simply by creatively cropping portions out. I also had a great time maxing out my nikon 60mm’s […]
