I’m growing a little tired of posts about the photography I get paid to do in a weak economy.  But since that is what I’m currently doing with my camera, that is what is creating the ammo for my blog posts.  I guess I’ll be grateful to have any work at all.

Luckily for me I have a great client and friend(s) in the folks at Kissaneviola www.kissaneviola.com.  Kissaneviola is a regionally based and nationally recognized website design firm.  They use me for just about anything they need a photographer for.  Thanks guys!  My last assignment for them was to shoot a restaurant.  WAIT! food photography, ambiance, the chef?  Really?

Now, I use artificial light from time to time, generally to add a little extra something to a natural light scene, but this particular restaurant is in a below ground location and this would be an ALL artificial light scenario.  Well, someone has to pay the bills, and I approached this shoot as  a particular challenge, that I could learn from.  A challenge that would push me as a photographer.  Sure, I studied photography in school and yes I learned all sorts of artificial lighting techniques but I’m in my 40s and that was 20+ years ago.

What a blast, once again I was using my camera, to make a living (how cool is that) and loving every minute of it.  Food photographers get to eat everything.  Here are a few samples of the work.  How’d I do?
