A few weeks ago we did a shoot for a regional Asian franchise. Without fail, when people see images after a shoot like this they ask me if I got to partake in what we shot. Unfortunately, nine times out of ten the answer is regrettably “nope.” Actually, I should probably qualify why my answer [...]
Recently I was in Breckenridge, Colorado and spent a few hours with Matt Fackler owner and chef at Relish Restaurant. He and his crew do a really nice job of utilizing local sources to build a menu with everything from fresh greens to buffalo. It’s always nice being in and around the hustle and bustle [...]
Earlier this month the studio was all about cupcakes from Gigi’s. The smell in the studio has been sa-weet! After spending a couple of days processing the images, I’m quite pleased with the results. It’s so nice when a shoot goes well. Additionally, having great equipment, super nice client and reasonable schedule makes the food [...]
I spent two days with Darlene and Gina for Gigi’s Cupcakes. We shot 31 different flavors. What a great team to work with. The cool thing about this food shoot compared to others is that the product was very nice to start with. The folks at Gigi’s did a great job designing these cupcakes. They [...]
Since I was a kid I’ve enjoyed rummaging for interesting antiques, neat junk and found objects. In fact, I can remember being down on McKinney Avenue in Dallas in the 70’s with my mom as we went through old houses chock full of miscellaneous things from the past. Back then my fascination was with old [...]
I suppose there are days on set with me that might feel a little like an episode of the Jetson’s – crazy contraptions, space-age technology … and me getting a little out of control (in a fun way). I say all this because looking at this production shot from a recent food shoot looks a bit [...]
Nothing says springtime like the smell of flowers … er, uh … burning marshmallow Peeps. I couldn’t resist when Harry Frankenfeld offered up the notion after my recent adventure in burning regular ol’ plain boring marshmallows. (See my March 8th post.) Well, you see, what you don’t likely know is that Harry and I worked [...]
I’m so drawn to the kitchen whether it be at home helping my wife get dinner ready for the boys or when I’m on set and my food stylist is prepping for the next shot. What draws me to the kitchen? I think it’s a little like a mad scientist being drawn to his own [...]
I’ve started a new series of images based on a concept that came to me the later part of last year (Fall 2009). What’s exciting to me is as I’m now only three images into the series, the legs on the concept continue grow … I’ve got thumbnails for about a couple of dozen photographs [...]
I don’t know any guy who doesn’t enjoy setting things on fire. I’m no exception. I love watching things burn. Mix this with my affinity for food, photography and well … things that are sugary … and this is what you get. Additionally, while there may be a debate about the optimal roasting of a [...]
The February issue of Nashville Arts Magazine just hit the stands this week. The creative team lead by Paul Polucarpou and Katie Sulkowski make for a fun group to work with. This particular feature was driven by poetry from Alimentum: The Literature of Food and written by Paulette Licitra. On the photography side of things [...]
Following are images from an editorial gig for Home Life magazine which is a title produced by Life Way in Nashville. A fun project. Always a pleasure to work with my assistant Rory and food stylist Teresa. And, the art director was great to work with. Thanks Susan for an all around a fun assignment. [...]
In a world of “more is better” I often find myself fighting for the “less is more” concept. (see
I couldn’t resist the pun. Forgive me. Sometimes objects themselves serve as inspiration for me. I’m a sucker for anything old … for the most part … old cheese isn’t top of my list. Anyway, I found this old whisk on a recent outing were I end the day with a car load of photo [...]
