I received an assignment from Charlotte Magazine in North Carolina to photograph a famed burger from Rotier’s in Nashville, TN. How could I resist … that’s a dream assignment! This is one of the outtakes from the food photography session. You’ll have to wait to see the selected food photographs until it is published. I [...]
I’m long overdue for a post to the bog, but things have been beyond busy. I am very grateful for abundance of work these days, particularly with the news that airs nightly. Honestly, I think this is a great time to be in business for yourself … despite the unfair taxation. I digress. Today I [...]
I’ve recently shot a number of dishes for Red Pony Restaurant in downtown Franklin, TN. Here are a few of the shots. There are others but I have yet to fully process them. My only disappointment was that I didn’t get to taste what you see. It sure was tempting though. I can, however, vouch [...]
Having grown up in Texas I’ve long searched for the perfect enchilada here in the Nashville, Tennessee area. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. My wife and I have been here since 1998 and have yet to find what we would say is the perfect Mexican food experience. In all honesty, it’s [...]
I’m not sure any words I can say would do this dish justice. It was a pleasure working with the chef and crew at SOL Restaurant in Franklin, TN on this food photography assignment. Franklin is a historic town just south of Nashville. Enjoy. Kyle Dreier
Well, I’ve just finished up a shoot for Ugly Mug Coffee Company out of Memphis, Tennessee. Not only was this a fun product to shoot, the company is a great company to work for. They have a great mission … they basically support the coffee growers who are normally exploited. Gotta love a company with [...]
What you see here in this one espresso shot is an espresso shot and three chocolate espresso cookies. So I guess that means this is a shot of four espresso shots … one way or another.
Well, I feel I have to kind of apologize for not having more frequent entries into my blog. Truth be known, I’m finding that I’d rather spend my time shooting then blogging. I suppose there’s probably a balance. But for now, I’m going to lean toward shooting and let the blogging take second chair. This [...]
Well, I’m in the process of revamping my site … one section at a time. I’ve just completed the food photography section. While many of the images are the same as the previous version you will notice I’ve increased the sizes … the bigger the image the better. I’ve also changed the groupings to be [...]
Today was a fun one. I shot a number of specialty desserts for Aux Choux, a dessert café in Franklin, TN. Crystal is a fine dessert maker and super to work with. Here is one of the many fun shots from the shoot. Look for more shots from this shoot in a later blog post. [...]
Today I was on assignment for a cookbook. This is one shot that stands out as I’m only midway through first edits. The secret ingredient. – Kyle Dreier
In most food shoots you don’t get to eat the subject as it’s been manipulated with foreign objects to the point that one bite would send you to the ER. But, in this case, I was fortunate to be able to eat to my hearts content, and WOW was it awesome! – Kyle Dreier
