I am, a foodie. Much like a dog, I find it to be one of the most enjoyable and important parts of the human experience. I almost convinced myself to go to culinary school before I folded and went full-force into photography.

From time to time, I am asked to shoot food. Sometimes for fine dining, sometimes for a restaurant launch, sometimes for a DoorDash menu. Whatever gets me in front of food, I am usually happy about it. I would love to do more of this type of work, because it usually ends with me eating.

I have, surprisingly, been introduced to many chefs and culinary entrepreneurs on my adventures, and I feel a special kinship with them. They, much like myself and my peers, are so obsessed with what they do, that they simply cannot imagine doing anything else— even if they’re not getting paid very much for their labor.
