I recently had the pleasure of working with the Oregon Business Magazine with my good friend and amazing art director, Jon Taylor Carter on a story about distilleries around Portland Oregon. Together, we toured three different distilleries, each with their own unique style and expertise. The three amazing distilleries were New Deal, Stone Barn Brandy Works, and House Spirits. Below are just a sampling of the imagery from the distilleries and the cover magazine shot! I hope you enjoy!
This last weekend, a bunch of my friends and I went camping at Lava Lake in the Cascade Mountains. The stars were shining so bright from our campsight that the next night we went to the lake at around midnight while I snapped this long exposure of the stars. Here’s the fun result! Enjoy!
I loved photographing El Jardin, mexican restaurant, for San Diego Magazine. Their food is vibrant and beautiful and most importantly, delicious! The presentation is a photographer’s dream come true… very graphic and full of texture. I decided to play off the bright look and feel of the ambience of the restaurant and food, and photograph some of the dishes on a bright blue background in order to give more pop to the overall image and make the viewer’s eye go straight to the food. Sometimes less is more with backgrounds. For lighting, I decided to do something a bit more harsh to play with the shadow’s and texture a bit more. I never want them to distract away from the food or beverage I photograph, but instead help complete the image.
Thanks for stopping by. Did you catch my last post on spa interior photography?

Love your food photography! Did you just get started in this genre? Any tips for aspiring photographers? Welcome back from your trip, I’m sure it was very inpsiring…
HI Giana,
Thanks for your comment. I have photographed food for about 2 years now. One tip that I have is that its all about lighting! Learn as much about lighting as possible! Harsh, soft, direction, angle… everything you can! Thanks again! Hope to chat again soon!
