Food Photography - Yekta Kabobi Restaurant

This week I had the amazing opportunity to be commissioned by Yekta Kabobi Restaurant to help with their new website design. Specifically, I was responsible for doing their food photography. Maybe it's because I'm a foodie but while food photography is not as "exciting" as weddings or dance photography, I find it an extremely satisfying job. 

Not to mention, most of the time I do get to sample the goods.

Just a few faves below including a quick portrait the owners (Sougol & Sahel) and manager (Adrien).

And yes, I highly recommend making a reservation - the food is amazing.

 

Portrait of a Choreographer - Evelyn

Usually, during off season (Dec-Mar) there isn't much of a chance for me to shoot outdoors. However 2 weeks ago we have 65+ degree day and I had the opportunity to work with an amazing choreographer, Evelyn. 

Evelyn is an accomplished choreographer, creative director and owner of Dashiell School of Dance in Baltimore, MD. With very little time to come up with a concept I reached out to her, suggested a location that I scouted and we met for about an hours worth of photos. Incredibly humble and friendly we immediately got along and went to work. Below are just a few of the strong yet elegant images that were my favorites

 

Fuentes Stephanie Dance Project

In 2016 for Thanksgiving I spent the week in Miami with family. Though my initial reason for being there was to photograph a friend's elopement I made a secondary goal to photograph a dancer as part of my travel/dance series. You can see my first one from Boston here.

Through a friend of a friend, I had the absolute pleasure to meet and photograph Stephanie Fuentes. Stephanie is a Miami native, dancer and choreographer very eager to bring awareness to women power through the art of dance. She is also a lady boss, very funny and have an amazing presence to her.  Make sure to check out her website, link above, and show her some love on Instagram: @fsdanceproject

Our shoot in Wynwood Art District was very casual and easy going but I feel the images we created were powerful, beautiful and expressive. Enjoy some of my favorites below.
