We can also make gorgeous portraits of Chef and staff, both informal portraits and formal headshots. Finally we can capture your staff as you work in the kitchen to create your amazing fare.
This photo of a plate of spaghetti and marinara sauce on a square ceramic plate is taken at about a 45° angle. The food is sitting in front of several actual items from the restaurant - a colander, a couple spice shakers, and some signage - to tie in the ambiance and vibe of the space.

I photographed these restaurant interior architectural photos during business hours at two different locations of the same brand.
COLLABORATION
The food photography is always shot tethered to a laptop so that the images are broadcast in realtime to iPads for you and your colleagues to review throughout the shoot. Our food photography process is very collaborative, involving Chef and GM and marketing and any other contributors.
FOOD STYLES
Some of the restaurants and food styles that I have been hired to photograph include French, Korean BBQ, Sushi, Indian, Noodles, Ramen, Tapas, Burgers, Bistro, Bars, Mexican, Pizza, Yakitori, Chinese, Vegetarian, Vegan, and Coffee Shops.
SURFACES & BACKGROUNDS
As a food photographer in Las Vegas, I photograph your beautiful food items on different surfaces with different backgrounds. Sometimes I shoot horizontally to capture your restaurant's ambiance or to see what's most important about the food. Other times I shoot straight down bird's-eye view. And most often I shoot at about a 45° angle.
If you want to cut-out the items for a menu or for a website, we can shoot everything on white seamless. If the surfaces in your restaurant are attractive and they photograph well we can photograph your food on your tables or counters. And I always bring different faux surfaces with me in case we decide that photographing your items on one of my surfaces like reflective black plexiglass, faux slate, marble, subway tile, distressed wood etc looks better.
ARCHITECTURAL
The interior architectural photos are shot during, before, or after business hours, depending upon your needs. If my client wants customers to be in the photo, before I photograph anyone I inform customers that their faces will be blurred out and I give them the opportunity to opt out.
NO LIMITS - THE WORLD IS OUR CANVAS
To spur your imagination to the possibilities, I've included many portraits of individuals and groups shot all over at places other than restaurants. Picture yourself, your staff, or even paid talent, populating your Restaurant, Hotel, or Architecture photos in the styles you see above.
The world is our canvas, and Las Vegas is one of the most colorful canvases there is. Let's have some fun while we make gorgeous photos of your food, your staff, and your everybody-wants-a-seat-at-your-amazing restaurant.
