Yes, I’ve definitely been out and about; it’s been about eight shocking months since my last entry… gasp. I have a huge backlog of photos that need posting, and while I’m working on the fun ones, here are some I shot for Manhattan Beach Post (MB Post) before their launch last year. Chef David LeFevre, formerly of Water Grill, decided to break out on his own and open up a little gastropub closer to home.
With its cavernous loft-like space, reclaimed wood, and communal tables, the restaurant brings a bit of LA to Manhattan Beach, while combining sensibilities of both. The laid-back decor pays homage to its 60s post office origins and seaside location, but don’t let the casual vibe fool you — Chef LeFevre means business.
LeFevre’s global-inspired menu shows off his skill and experience gained from working in restaurants all around the world, and at his last post, Water Grill where he earned a Michelin star. And Chef David definitely has a great eye for plating, as all the food came out looking amazing for the camera. Gotta love that!

These photos looks delicious! I cannot wait to get out more and take some beautiful food an restaurant photos, I love juxtaposing close up photos with the atmosphere they are in. Just a few more months and I will no longer be in school in the middle of nowhere… literally.
Your photos are truly the MOST beautiful I have seen on the web. I leap when I see you have a posting. Question: do you use extra lighting to get those amazingly crisp indoor plated photos? I never can get the plate looking so well lit up and crisp. I use my 50mm 1.8 lens. BTW, ready to take a photography workshop whenever you say the word!
thank you!
sarah, i did use extra lighting for the food shots as the natural light wasn’t good enough.
delicious and gorgeous pics =)
xoxo

Finally! Glad to see a recent post (and a beautiful one at that!). As usual, great photos and entry!
Did you get lost in Hawaii all this time?
All your work is tremendous, just brilliant and intuitively well shot. But this one is speaking to me even more. I love the food!
