La Posta (Food and Portrait Photography) @ Santa Cruz, California

La Posta has been creating some delicious Italian food in the Seabright neighborhood of Santa Cruz for a few years now. The chef is a little camera-shy, but is clearly proud of the food her kitchen is producing. Their pizzas are amazing, and I can’t wait to bring home some of their french bread loaves that […]

Restaurant Opening: Fogo de Chão (Food & Commercial Lifestyle Photography) @ Santana Row, San Jose (Day Two)

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 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 was honored to work on behalf of my friends at Wagstaff to shoot the latest restaurant opening for their client […]

The Meat is on (The Grill)

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 […]

Not for Vegetarians, Vegans, et al. (Skewered Meat Closeups)

Llana at Espetus asked me to get some new photos of their beautiful (and tasty) skewered meat that’s the mainstay offering of the restaurant. Last time we tried to include plated side dishes and cocktails in the shots, but because the skewers are so long, composition was challenging for those shots. Llana also wanted to […]

Matt Levin, Restauranteur (Portraits)

Matt Levin, owner of The Refuge in San Carlos, stepped outside his restaurant for a few portraits. I love the neon signage, and it makes a great backdrop for these shots. I also got a couple when I was in the kitchen and he was standing out by the kitchen pickup window. Shot with a […]

Eat, Drink, Be Merry!

Restaurant owners always want to get shots of their establishment when it’s full of people. Photographers tend to like it when they’re empty – no pesky people getting in the way, and you can use a tripod to get those nice architectural shots without motion blur. However, with the latest digital gear shooting at high-ISO […]

Behind the Scenes in the Kitchen (The Refuge)

I invite you to step into a particular restaurant kitchen to see what the heck is going on back here in The Refuge. Enjoy the slideshow below, check out more […]

Beer + Pastrami = Ultimate Man Feast

San Carlos finally has a Refuge for those who appreciate fine Belgian beer, the most succulent pastrami, and delicious selections of cheese and salami. But this place isn’t filled with middle-aged guys sporting giant bellies – this place attracts an eclectic mix of men, women and children who appreciate the few things The Refuge has […]

Duck, Duck, Shoot!

Went back to Shokolaat today to shoot this fine, fine duck dish. Shekoh, the owner, was kind enough to let me eat it afterwards, and it was mighty deelish! It’s usually served with rutabaga instead of green beans, but I’m not complaining. Check this place out, it’s a must-visit restaurant if you’re wandering down University […]

Skewered in Palo Alto (Pampas)

Finally got a chance to get some food shots at Pampas – the meat is amazing and although the plated dishes aren’t the main feature they’re nothing to scoff at. Chef John Karbowski knows his stuff! It was a pleasure as always to work with the team there. More pics here.
