IPA Photography Awards - Official Selection 2025

Very proud to wake up to the news of being a official selection for the IPA awards 2025! It’s always fun and challenging to decide which images I should enter. I really loved the concept we came up for these diner images. They have been recognized across the board for various things! Food Styling Janine Kalesis and Prop Styling Penelope Bouklas

Photo Shoot Diner Series

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and what better way to showcase that amongst other fun foods than recreating a diner! My dream team, food stylist Janine Kalesis and prop stylist Penelope Bouklas put our minds together to come up with fun diner environments with different diner foods to highlight including an early morning breakfast. I loved the challenge of lighting the scenes and making them feel like different times of the day. Also I was able to capture different angles and mini silhouettes of the scenes. Lots of fun props to help tell the story. Can’t wait till the next shoot!!

B.T.S. Photo Shoot: Dr. Praeger's New Look!

My favorite type of shoot! I love when I get the opportunity to capture new packaging design for food brands. Seeing my work in the supermarket or other places of purchase never gets old. The food photography is right there where the consumer is to help them recognize a brand they love and trust. Being apart of that process is so fun for me! Working closely with the design team and Dr. Praeger’s over a week we were able to capture the appetite appeal of their variety of healthy and tasty options for adults and their kid consumers! I loved the crunchy cauliflower burger. Make sure to check these out at your local supermarket.

2020 Food Reel!

Kicking off 2020 in big ways! Excited to share this new year with a new food reel highlighting everything delicious about food. It was great to work with Micah Morton, food stylist extraordinaire on this work. We shot at Go Studios and worked with Adorama renting the necessary gear to make the vision come to life. I put together several storyboards and with myself, DP Desmond Reich, and gaffer Crystal Rodriguez we had 2 days in studio capturing the fun actions. In the end Vince Perretti editor, put the cherry on the top with coloring and sound design! Great work team!

B.T.S. Features Gastropub In Sunny Florida!

Right after Easter weekend I was on a flight to sunny Tampa, Florida for a week shoot at the new Features Gastropub inside the Riverview movie theater apart of Goodrich Quality Theaters out of the midwest. I was recommend for this job by friend and celebrity chef Brian Duffy. I was so excited for this job, not just because it was in Florida but the concept of the restaurant by Brian had some delicious entrees and beers on tap to try. Something I’ve rarely seen before is they had wine on tap! What?!! I got to work with the local and talented Marlene Forand for the week on executing the dishes and really bringing the ingredients to life. We had fun incorporating the wall signage in the background and making the dishes feel heroic. One of the coolest offerings they had was their Feature Fry Tower. This was stacked high of fries, shaved ham, provolone cheese, bacon, mozzarella and side sauces, yum!! I hope to go back soon and catch a movie in the theater. If you find yourself in the area for vacation make sure and stop by.
