Colle McVoy hired me to capture images for their client, Dairy Queen, for the FIFA campaign featuring global Blizzard flavors. This exciting project included lighting and shooting on studio sets, as well as capturing talent on motion sets.

It was a total joy collaborating with Esmeralda, the designer for Vallarta Supermarkets, on a vibrant summer campaign that will appear in signage across more than 60 of their stores. The project began with a creative test focused on an unusual visual idea—photographing food against a water backdrop. To help bring the concept to life, I built a small studio test using layered props, reflective water surfaces, and real Mexican dishes. These early images gave Esmeralda something tangible to present to her team as they explored the direction for the campaign.

Summer shoots just hit different. ☀️🍔🔥

We spent the day creating a new grilling video inspired by the ultimate fast food meal, complete with smoky burgers, crispy fries, ice-cold drinks, and all the summer vibes. The concept was all about friends hanging out, playing games, laughing between takes, and soaking up a beautiful sunny day together.

This shoot was also our testing ground for a brand new set, updated lighting setups, fresh macro shots, motion experiments, and new recipes we’ve been developing in the studio. There’s nothing better than seeing the food sizzle on camera while the crew collaborates and pushes ideas further with every setup.

Days like this are why we love creating. Great food, great light, and a team that genuinely has fun making it all come to life. 🎥🌭🍟

It was a treat to photograph the exciting Menu Masters Cooking Collaboration by Nations Restaurant News at the Culinary Institute of America's Copia campus in Napa, CA. Ventura Foods presented a nice donation to their students and four teams of winning chefs each designed 2 appetizers that will be served at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago. Here are a few highlights.

We were delighted to create a new evergreen CPG library for Mrs. T’s Pierogies with the Hunter PR team. One thing that had us jumping for joy was all of the creative uses of the product from One Dish Dutch Oven to salad croutons to party dippers. Check out a few favorites but follow them on their channels for more.
