Food Photography Cary, NC

If your looking for somewhere new to eat, you should check out Dean's Seafood and Grill  in Cary, NC. We were really pleased to be asked to be asked by their ad agency, Mojo, to head over there and photograph their food for a new menu. Dean's is owned by one of our favorite catering companies, Rocky Top so it was no surprise to find the quality of the food was excellent. What did surprise me though, was that as well as the excellent selection of seafood, there was also an amazing array of steaks and other grilled meats on offer.

Now anyone who knows me knows how much i like my steak, but when chef brought our a 23oz Bone-in Rib-eye for me to photograph my jaw dropped. I will be posting more photos from the shoot on my website in the near future, but i thought that i would just give a sneak peek at this amazing dish. Enjoy............

The Evolution OF Barbecue - Food Photography Cary

We were really pleased to be asked to photograph the menu items for Smithfield's Chicken 'N Barbecue. One of their many offerings is a whole shoulder of Pork which they will cook for you and you can pick it up take it home and break it up. So we decided to do a photo as soon as it came out from being cooked. We worked on this Project with French West & Vaughan PR Agency and food stylist Teresa Chelko. As well as shooting the whole shoulder we decided it would be a good idea to show visitors to their website what goes into the fantastic barbecue that is sold in their restaurants. Hence we came up with the idea of showing the finished barbecue and all the elements made to produce it.

Hope you like the photos.

Architecture Photography Raleigh

I was recently asked to photograph a Walgreen's store that had just opened outside Raleigh. As well as the usual daytime photos i thought it would be interesting to shoot one or two at dusk. Below is the shot that I ended up with and which the client really enjoyed.
