What We Eat On Set
Creative Direction: The difference between the carefully crafted food scenes we photograph and the food we, the team, really eat on set always strikes me as a bit ironic! Here we are laboring over the tiniest salt flake to create the perfect image; meanwhile, we are eating our own lunch with plastic forks perched on an apple box in the corner of the studio. I started to shoot some of these odd still lifes on set and recreated a few in the studio with the help of stylists Helen Quinn, Kaitlyn Du Ross Walker, and Julia Choi-Rodriguez.

Black and White
Creative Direction: After working on a number of client projects involving bold color, I wanted to experiment with black and white. Master food stylist Charlotte Omnès and I collaborated on this series: We gathered interesting food products and kitchen tools and assembled them into vignettes based on a whimsical or eye-catching central object. We created distinctive groupings of food and objects that reminded us of classical still life paintings. As you can tell, we were heavily inspired by Irving Penn. Each shot has a theme, like “Hunter-Gatherer,” which includes bones, plants, quail eggs and other unexpected items. I always wondered why there isn’t much BW food photography out there, and after I finished this personal project, I understand why! Light, shadow and arrangement are especially challenging when you’re working in black and white. Explorations like this allow me to sharpen my skills and expand my capabilities.
