One of the perks of food photography is being able to photograph preparation and plating right in your own kitchen. Working in a familiar space makes it easier to focus on the details — the ingredients, the cooking process, and the final presentation. Sometimes the most comfortable environment is the perfect place to create.

One of the things I enjoy about food photography is capturing the entire process — from preparation to plating. Recently, I photographed someone preparing healthy dishes, and the details of the ingredients, cooking, and final presentation all help tell the story of the food. Good photography makes you appreciate not just the meal, but the care that goes into creating it. Bonus: I got to work from home that day in my own kitchen.

Lighting design can be one of the trickiest things to photograph. I recently had the opportunity to capture the lighting installation at Kid Clubhouse space for Ovation Audiovisual. Balancing vibrant colors and the mood of the lighting while maintaining the integrity of the space always takes careful attention. A fun project and a great example of how lighting transforms a space.
