I am a San Francisco Bay Area-based food, beverage, and CPG product photographer specializing in photos, stop motion, and video. While I have over 30,000 photos delivered and love to make beautiful images, the reason why you would hire me is for my ability to take your great idea to the next level.
My strength lies in a nimble and lean approach to creating visual results. Clients love getting creative content at a reasonable cost since my studio team can art direct, style, and shoot their images quickly and on budget. I enjoy working closely with marketing teams, brand managers, agencies, PR firms, brand strategists, graphic designers, influencers, chefs, and entrepreneurs to build vivid, authentic imagery that engages the visual taste of the viewer.
My studio features its own extensive surface library and prop house, a fully-equipped chef’s kitchen, 2 production studios, an outdoor studio, and a post-production station.
A proven creative process quickly gets to the heart of what the client loves. I have a moodboard and design process dedicated to the discovery of what is best for any project. This makes every shoot very smooth and successful.
My experience as a chef, stylist, and photographer has earned many awards including APA Top 100, ACF Gold Medal, and a juried fine art photo exhibit at Art Basel Miami. I was Executive Pastry Chef for two Hyatt Hotels and Resorts before completing two post-baccalaureate certificates for Visual Art and Graphic Design at U.C. Berkeley Extension in San Francisco. I have a master's degree in Food Business at the Culinary Institute of America with an emphasis on sustainability and branding.
Bring me your idea and I will turn it into gold! One client saw a 44% increase in sales from just one project.
