How I Work: Cookbook, Editorial & Commercial Food Photography

Page and Plate Cookbook Photography

A Thoughtful, Process-Driven Approach

Every client is unique—that’s my favorite part about being a photographer. I tailor every single project to fit your needs exactly. Here’s what you can expect when you hire me for your photography project, from start to finish:

Phase 1: Discovery and Direction

I start every project with a deep dive into what makes you you. I’ll do some research, ask a lot of questions, and pull together some initial thoughts for our collaboration.

Phase 2: Planning for Editorial and Cookbook Projects

I’m a pro at pre-production. Each project I take on requires careful planning to make sure we get it right. From shot lists to calendars, I’ll get everything set so production day goes smoothly and nothing is a surprise.

Phase 3: On Set: Production & Collaboration

Production days are my favorite. Whether you’re on set with me or I’m tackling the project solo, I’ll use every tool in my arsenal to make sure you look your best on camera and beyond. After customized post-production, it’s all over to you—take ‘em and run!
