What I shoot

Restaurant & menu

Dishes, plating, bar programs, interiors, and the people running the kitchen, shot on location for web, social, and press.

Food & beverage product

Studio-lit bottles, cans, and packaged food for CPG brands, built for e-commerce, retail, and advertising. It overlaps with my wider product photography in Los Angeles.

Brand & lifestyle

Food and drink shot in real settings, showing how people actually use the product instead of styling it in isolation.

Selected work

Based in Los Angeles for local restaurant and studio work, with food and beverage campaigns shot nationally.

How it works

Every project starts with the outcome, not the shot list, so every frame has a job.

1

Define the goal

Grow online orders, support a relaunch, sell through a retail buyer, or feed social. We work backward from there.

2

Concept, shot list, estimate

The goal shapes the concept, the concept shapes the shot list, and the shot list shapes the estimate.

3

Production

On location for restaurants and hospitality, or in the in-office studio for CPG and beverage, with larger space rented when the scope calls for it.

4

Proofs & finals

Review a proof gallery; retouched finals arrive on the timeline set in the statement of work. Up against a launch? Expedited delivery is doable.

Pricing

Retouching, licensing, and crew are scoped to the project, so you’ll know the full number before anything is booked.

FAQ

Yes. I’m based in LA, but food and beverage work has run nationally, including a restaurant relaunch in New York City and product campaigns for national CPG and beverage brands.

The day rate covers the photographer for the shoot itself, the baseline cost of working together. Retouching, licensing, and crew are scoped separately based on the project.

Yes. We can work with your stylist if you have one, or bring our own if styling support is needed.

It depends on scope: a large menu can take a full day or multiple days. Turnaround depends on the scope of work and the final deliverables, and expedited timelines are doable if you need them.

Both: on-location restaurant and menu photography, and studio-lit photography for packaged food and beverage brands.
