Zeppoles are basically fried donut holes, and these particular doughy balls of deliciousness are served with a side of Nutella and some other red sauce that I cared not about – it was all about those warm zeppoles and dipping them into the chocolatey goodness that is Nutella. Good photos to follow, but not as good […]

I met up with the talented Executive Chef Scott Cooper at Le Papillon in San Jose to photograph one of their finest desserts – the Grand Marnier Soufflé. This particular dessert has a very short window for photographing – much more so than ice cream, in fact. As soon as it comes out of the […]

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 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 […]

“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! I suppose if my client was a fast food joint and the food they serve looks decidedly less erect than shown in marketing materials, then yeah, I […]

If you’re familiar with my blog, you’ve probably seen photos I’ve taken at Kaama Lounge before. They’ve made some changes to the look of the exterior and interior, plus have added a lunch menu, indian buffet style. Here’s a few shots I took of the interior – it was pouring outside so there wasn’t much […]

I’ve shot Chef Matt’s food before, but he’s got some new menu items at Kaama Lounge so I was obliged to do my thing! Kaama’s menu is motivated by “childhood comfort food with a gourmet twist” – and they’ve certainly made a splash in the foodie scene with a number of entrees and appetizers motivated […]

I did a shoot today at Le Papillon restaurant on behalf of South Bay Accent magazine. They wanted some shots of Le Papillon’s Chocolate Terrine made with Valrhona Guanaja 70 percent, Valrhona Jivara milk chocolate, and coconut oil. It’s not only visually stunning, but I’ll be damned if I was gonna leave without scarfing that thing […]

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 […]
