My personal take on photography jobs on Indeed. For real, to elaborate more on real estate photography, get into it if it interests you, you need a good tripod and a wide angle to go with your camera - you’ll be set! I tagged my local favorite baby photographer @chelsealaurenimages I have plenty of recommendations for wedding photogs with ALL the #passion and portraits photogs just ask. #commercialphotography #brand #photography #jobsearch
The day digital things with SD cards goes vintages. 😂 #genx #vintage #photographer #nikon
The dessert scenery is a site to behold at Itavie New York Grill & Bakery. Cake has two angles, above and level.
I’m gonna tell ya, I made this up at the last minute. Sometimes it takes a #reels sound to inspire how you’re going to edit. Bonus points for doing something with the “walking around while recording” footage that was going to be deleted.🥃 Styled by @kellycoxefoodstylist #whisky #oldfashioned #bourbon #foodphotography #photographer
I thought digital would never go vintage. 😂
Honestly, I love that my childhood and first cameras are becoming cool. I think that makes me and the rest of us Gen X’ers cool.
This video of our holiday dinners was sitting in the drafts, not the greatest review ever but in short, Umi’s was great and we’ll go back again next Christmas and sooner. The follow up video was our home cooked Thanksgiving dinner.
At Umi’s, we tend to order the bento boxes which are perfect for those that cannot make up their mind. They don’t serve ramen, but they do have this spicy noodle soup that’s good enough for me! Brings me back to being stationed in Japan. My fondest memory there was when I rented an apartment next door to a ramen shop. After getting to know the owner he worked a deal with me, “teach my kids basic English and I’ll feed you for free.” Really all I did was say hi and color animal pictures with them. Which was good enough I guess. My point to this story, is the food brought me back to a great moment in time. Umi’s is good.
I did work with the cofounder and Afghan owner to build a dine-in Afghan restaurant. Neither one of us with any restaurant experience. 😂 We just know the right people to ask and my toxic trait is I will jump into the unknown without thinking about it. I was a Mass Communications Specialist in the Navy who took his multi media, branding, and engagement skillset to the commercial industry. Never looked back. I hate to sound cliche, but mindset is a real thing. Winners don’t quit and quitters never win. #network #retiredveteran #miltok #cheflife #virginia
Part 2: Tell me you were a Navy photographer having to make magic happen in the smallest of ship compartments without saying you were.
If I’ve gotta make it happen of the trunk of a car for a food truck menu shoot. Consider the job done. 😂 I didn’t choose the name I Rescue Media for nothing.
I have been driving by this building for a while now, thinking it was an old movie rental place that was still getting business. As I drove closer to it one day I realized it’s an 80s-90s themed venue with a classic video arcade setup from back in the day. There’s also a living room setup called “grandma’s living room” that will take many us back on the nostalgia train. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. They do serve drinks and food. 🍻 I just wanted to say thank you to them for creating an awesome spot in town and will be back.

As I reach the final leg of building a current restaurant concept (not the one in this video), it’s burning in me to shoot way more than I have been over the last few months.
You know what’s interesting, have you ever worked a project that required so much of you that you greatly look forward to completion so you can rest? You then find yourself during your break saying, “I want to do another one.” Kind of how I felt about deployment in the #usnavy. I love the process of building and starting up large undertakings like this. I think it’s the challenge. I think its the standing before the chaos and challenging myself to change and grow that I’m drawn too. That is if I want to get the core of what “it” is. Alongside this, I love creating and building in the name of others to help them grow - I don’t think I know how to do anything else.

How many lights do you think I use for these restaurant menu photos on location? One, just one light and a reflector. There are situations where I use two to three, but you can get the job done with one light and a white reflector. If you’re a restaurant owner, shoot your food by the window with a piece of foil or white cardboard on the dark side.

Do you to improve your food photography with your catering business, food blog, food prep & home chef business? Even if you’re a restaurant owner and you take all your own photos for your menus and social media. I want to build a food photography workshop designed for you and your needs.
If you’re interested or know somebody that would love to get their online game of getting people hungry visually, send me a DM or email me at [email protected] and I will send you a short questionnaire. Or, if you don’t want to answer it and just want to say you’re interested, that’s perfect too!
Thank you all and I have a great rest of the weekend.

Before Food Photography
Shout out to all the Vets. #VeteransDay Don’t thank me, thank the ones in front of my camera. Technically I was always behind them. 😆
The Loop
My mind, an endless loop of uncompleted motivation. I catch myself sometimes.
Pizza Stop Motion
Been a while since I highlighted #pizza. Also, more stop motion. Of course after I made this one I realized I should’ve made each slice go away. All experimental - next shoot.
Smoothie
Bright & Airy, Dark & Moody, Warm & Earthy, it’s all about that emotion evoking. For this smoothie, I want you to feel good and joyful about eating and feeling good. It’s hard to feel bad about yourself when you’ve gotten full off of fruit. These small details is why there’s a whole field for niches in photography and video, especially within food. Get you a shooter that just gets you.
