The January 2012 issue of Popular Photography Magazine features a small profile about my food pairings series. Magazine articles always make me a little nervous—seems that regardless of how the interview goes the article ends up sounding like it’s about someone I don’t know. Sometimes the facts are incomplete or the adjectives are a bit [...]
What do you get when you put together a fine crew of people and lock them up in a house for two weeks with lots of food? Well, that’s kinda what we did except we weren’t exactly “locked up” together against our will. We did spend two weeks on location at two different houses and [...]
In a way it seems like just yesterday but at the same time it seems like a long long time ago—in June we spent two weeks with the fine folks of Publix Super Markets on location here in the Nashville area. The result is the Start Something brochure designed to be similar to popular “inspiration [...]
Back in September I mentioned (and sorta teased about) the double-top-secret cookbook project I was working on with local author and blogger extraordinaire Courtney Dial (soon to be Whitmore). Well, the cat is out of the bag … the publisher (Gibbs-Smith) has announced “Push-up Pops”—available March 2012. These new push-up gizmos are reminiscent of the [...]
When you’re working in the studio on a relatively small food photography set and focused on a normal sized bowl of shrimp and noodles you don’t really think about the final photograph being enlarged to this! Yowzers! Thanks Ryan for sending this over. I’m still waiting for Wok Hay to make it into our market [...]
Earlier this Spring Cindy Montgomery from Entrée Nashville asked for a little help with their startup magazine. What? A magazine? Food? I’m in! Aside from my love affair with food, I have a semi-secret passion for publishing. Part of my dark and mysterious past includes my position as Art Director for American Way magazine—the inflight [...]
When you look at a final photograph of food you don’t really get a sense of all the work that goes into what you see. Aside from all the planning there are a number of people on set working together to pull it together—food stylists (you may recognize the dynamic duo Teresa and Whitney), assistants [...]
Nothing says Spring to me like a brightly colored sweetly decorated cupcakey treat. Well, unless you also add some chocolate. Back when Old-Man Winter was being nasty we did some preparation for Spring here in the studio with the fun creative team from Gigi’s. Yes, we were literally shoveling snow and using deicer on the [...]
It seems like just yesterday it was September and it’s been non-stop since. So, I’ll be doing some catching up over the next few weeks when/if I have breaks in my schedule. I’ve had a lot of fun the past few months and we have had some great projects come our way. Our team is [...]
What’s the recipe for a fun evening of learning about delicious lighting for food photography? First, start with a vibey location-Fido in Hillsboro Village in Nashville. Add a couple of foodies, a dash of food bloggers, plus a handful of cooks and bakers. Mix with a few aspiring food photographers and a heaping of wonderful [...]
If you’re like me popcorn is one of the main four (or is it five or six now) food groups in your diet. Our family consumes popcorn as though it was oxygen necessary to live. I guess that’s what happens with three growing boys in the house. According to Wikipedia, popcorn goes back to 3600 [...]
Well, Thursday at 7 pm is the night to learn about Delicious Lighting here in Nashville. We’re looking forward to the event and what Fido’s Chef John has in store for the “eat” portion of the evening. This is the first in a series of six food photography workshops I’ll be leading with the valuable [...]
This time of year is full of various emotions for me, particularly today being New Year’s Eve. I’m excited about what 2011 has in store, I’m sad to see yet another year pass so quickly, I’m motivated to make 2011 another great year, I’m reflective on how much happened in 2010, I’m curious what new [...]
I spent a day in jail. Oh wait, that didn’t sound quite right. Let me clarify. I spent a day at jail. I was there photographing food prepared by Thomas, a nice young fellow who spends his days confined to a jail cell, but his cell is a bit different than one might imagine. For [...]
Months before cool weather was even on the radar we were in chili mode. Such is life when doing editorial photography — it reminds me of when I was an art director for American Way magazine and we’d have to schedule Christmas photo shoots in July. How do you get Christmas decorations that time of [...]
