Commercial Food Photography
Food & Beverage Photography for brands that understand value.

Creative Director, Food Photographer, Food Styling.

All three. One person. One vision.

Food, drinks, products. I direct it, I style it, I shoot it. Nothing gets handed off and nothing gets lost between three people who have never met.

Creative Director

I'm building you assets, not images. Photos get used once. Assets carry a launch, a wholesale deck and social media. 

​

Your site says one thing, your photos say another. Most brands don't see it until they are staring at a gallery of images they can't use cohesively.

​

I'm three people doing one job. I lead the create direction, I have my hands on the food, I set the lights. One vision, start to finish.

Photography

Lighting and set design. You get my mind constantly creating for your brand. 

​

I move with your brand aesthetic. Dark and moody, light and airy, those are opposite ends of the spectrum. I have my favorite child, but I see clearly what tells your brand story and those are the assets I deliver. 

​

I move every light, I swap every lens and I hand edit every, single photo. No AI, just me, doing my thing.

Styling

Honestly, I don't know where the photography ends and the styling begins. 

​

I am 100% self taught leaning into my years as a chef. When I started shooting I used food as my subject because it's what I knew. 

​

It created something seamless for my clients. Something I can never untangle because in my mind the set is designed inside and around the style build.

Never leave your business.

Studio Sessions

Everything is shot in my studio. You send the recipes and we execute them. Your food looks better than it ever has while still looking like yours.

​

You never close, you don't have to travel, and you don't lose a service day. â€‹

The full picture.

One Artist. Your Vision.
Nothing lost in translation.

Creative direction, food styling, set design, photography, and editing. All me.

​

A four day production staffed the usual way includes three to four artists, billing separately, with your vision getting thinned out at every handoff.

 

With me, it's one person from the first idea to the final frame, so that nothing gets lost between the plan and the plate.​
