Last week I had a couple days set aside to do some testing in the studio. Testing days are laid back, but being the Type-A that I am I still have an agenda to accomplish … with the luxury of being on my own schedule. Last week’s agenda? Testing a fake ice cream recipe. There’s [...]
It’s hard to say whether chocolate was “invented” or “discovered”. Honestly, does it matter? It’s here, I love it, and it’s not going anywhere. Right? According to about.com its origins date back to the Olmec Indians to about 1500 BC with the growing of the cocoa bean to then the making of a cocoa drink [...]
I love the Fall. Just the notion of what Fall brings is fun to me. Cooler weather, evening football games, new TV shows and Fall food … yes, it always comes back to food for me. Gigi’s Cupcakes is in on this Fall thing, too. Gina shows up at the studio with a cornucopia of [...]
Having grown up in Dallas and spent much of my adult life there, Black-Eyed Pea Restaurant runs deep in my veins, and stomach. So, when we got the call to shoot some menu items for the now Nashville based corporation I was very much looking forward to it and holding my breath for Chicken Fried [...]
This week we were shooting for Charlotte Magazine again, which always makes for a fun day. Wait, come to think of it, is there such a thing as a day of food photography that isn’t fun. Ha! The images aren’t scheduled to publish for a couple of months so I can’t show you the results. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
