New Work for Del Monte | Food Photographer Los Angeles
June 14, 2018
New work for Advertising client Del Monte! As a Los Angeles food photographer I shoot a lot of different food products. I had the pleasure of shooting Del Monte’s new product Fruit & Oats. It’s a snack cup design for adults. We shot this set up in my photography studio in downtown Los Angeles. Amy Lipnis prop styled this shot and she killed it.
We had to bring in a fake kitchen to shoot this. Amy sourced a wall for the kitchen with a window so we could pump some light through it to get that nice flare you see in the image. We have to play a lot with the height of the table in comparison to the height of the counter in the background to get it just perfect. It was all dependent on how well the cup looked. We made sure to show off the product at it’s best angle! As a Los Angeles based food photographer, I think through a lot of these details in advance to ensure shoot days go as smoothly as possible. That way we can make sure we are getting all the assets our clients, and that they are beautiful!
Marian Cooper Cairns was on food styling duty. She brought tons of different options for apples, mostly sourced for her local farmers market. We had to make sure we had the perfect apple slices for the shot!
I absolutely love figuring our how to make the clients dreams come true within their budget. As a food photographer you never what is going to get thrown you way! I really love trouble shooting and trying to figure out the best solution for every problem we encounter.
For this shoot, the turnaround was really quick. The client and agency were really prescriptive about what they wanted the background props to look like. We did a lot of rounds of prop reviews via email before the shoot to narrow down choices and stay in budget. It all paid off in the end!

The Pearl by Tatcha| Los Angeles Cosmetic Photographer
June 13, 2018
I was so excited to have the opportunity to shoot a campaign for Tatcha featuring their new undereye treatment product called The Pearl. The project concept was really interesting, as we were shot their product as if it were underwater. The product itself takes inspiration from Japanese Pearl divers.
Here is a Behind The Scenes video from the shoot. We experimented with the best photography techniques to get some great underwater reflections.

Stouffer’s Photography | Food Photographer Los Angeles
April 14, 2018
In April of this year Teri Lyn Fisher Commercial Food Photographer Los Angeles did a large shoot for Stouffer’s and their various brands of food available in their freezer selection. Here is a selection of images from her food photography portfolio.
Each product had it’s own style and guidelines, so it was really fun to to able to shoot products from all their lines in one big shoot. We had Sienna DeGovia on deck to do the food styling for this shoot. She did an amazing job. Particularly on the lasagna pictured above. The client was really excited about how good that shot turned out.
As a commercial food photographer based in Los Angeles, I know one of the most important parts to a successful shoot is making sure you have an amazing team to execute all the creative. We have Britni Wood doing the props on this shoot, she previously used to work for Martha Stewart Weddings. She has a really great eye, and sourced a lot of really beautiful surfaces and props for this food shoot.
Sienna did a really amazing job making all of the food come to life and really pop. You can see more of Food Photography Portfolio here. You can also see more of my commercial food photography here.
