I had so much fun shooting this ice cream sundae campaign yesterday. More info once it goes public but *pssst, secret* - it was fake ice cream!

What has the restaurant industry done to me? I’m deep cleaning my kitchen every night. // if you have time to lean, you have time to clean.

Japanese golden curry with eggplant tempura and rice for dinner. It’s not the prettiest but it’s pretty tasty.

Somehow I went from “I’m going to boil potatoes and add this instant sauce” to making smashed papa a la Huancaína, which should surprise no one but at the end of the day I still just boiled potatoes and added instant sauce 😂

I made soup. You can make soup too.

Pictured: Blanchard’s Perly’s blend French press coffee, toasted pain de campagne, scrambled eggs with tomato, green onion, tofu puffs (I had some leftover), and Camembert. Little herbes de Provence thrown in for funsies. Sriracha.

I photographed the roast duck lettuce wraps for the upcoming weekend special at Maketto.

New sandwich at ABC Pony - the Paid Vacation, a fried calamari sandwich with preserved lemon/preserved green tomato remoulade, shredded lettuce, on butter toasted brioche bun.

Latest photo work for our new spot: Yoka & Kota, a noodle & dumpling shop located at The Roost, DC. 

Latest work for Brothers And Sisters’ new year’s eve offerings. 

Today I made Bart’s orange almond cake. Baking takes thrice as long when you’re a food photographer/stylist. The early winter light shifts very quickly - I started at 11 am and, by the time the cake was done around 1 pm, the light was warmer and the sun was much lower. All in all, very happy with the photos and it’s a gorgeous cake. Added a bit of vanilla.

My food photography is normally very bright and sunny. I’m experimenting with going in the opposite direction, nighttime with a grittier vibe to it. 

When you need hand models so you grab a chef and a bartender and make them pretend eat.
