Here’s yet another set from a photoshoot I did last year. After much thought, I’ve decided to leave out the client’s name as they’ve been a bit shady with me. The food and the photographs in my mind were too beautiful to not sure, so here they are.

Here’s another shoot I did last year for the opening of 1321 Downtown, a gastropub in the reviving old town Torrance. Instead of trying to compete in the high rent and popular locales in Southern California, there’s been a trend here for restauranteurs to expand out and find areas and neighborhoods that are under-served. Just like MB Post did with its out-of-the-way location in Manhattan Beach, 1321 opened its doors in a sleepy part of Torrance that hasn’t seen much new business in years. Now South Bay residents can grab a craft brew and a bite to eat from chef Greg Paul’s American/Latin-inspired pub menu.
