"I am a commercial beverage and food photographer based in the Midwest. It’s fair to say that I am steeped in boozy things, as being a drinks photographer is my true hallmark. But I am also a huge foodie and simply love to photograph all things food related. Truly, I love what I do and I am fortunate to be recognised for doing what I love. That is my way of injecting that necessary line that I am an “award-winning” commercial photographer.

I have been completely focused on my lane of beverage and food photography and motion content creation. I often lecture on these topics and teach workshops to share my knowledge, because I love this business.

Lately I have been pushing into the world of AI. For many this is a scary and divisive place. For me it is an incredible new tool which allows me to create images that are tailored to a brand. I can manipulate AI to assist in telling stories and grabbing views attention in ways that I could not do before. The collection of images you see here have all been created using my tested traditional methods of crafting light with AI generated backgrounds. All of these images are captured “in camera,” inclusive of the AI backgrounds. Now that statement should make you wonder what I am doing enough to reach out to the studio or my rep.

I hope you enjoy what you see. Please view more of my work at my website. And by all means, reach out and let’s talk about your next project."

On shoot days, Joe's studio is filled with energy as clients indulge in mini candy bars. Meanwhile, Joe collaborates with a talented team of food stylists, special effects experts, and digital technicians. Together, they approach each shot with practiced efficiency, ensuring exceptional results and a track record of success.

Just imagine: it’s a shoot day in director and photographer, Stephen Hamilton’s 11,000 sq ft studio. While the team is focused on the visual production, an amazing aroma is swirling in the air. Today’s shoot is for bacon. There aren’t many people who can resist this salty, hammy strip with its umami flavor.

For many, this aroma triggers delicious food memories. This only helps Stephen in his philosophy of capturing real life moments on a plate for chef Justin Brunson of Brunson Meat Co. in Colorado for a print and social media campaign.

Stephen gets close to an ultimate BLT sandwich – tempting you to take a bite. Classic bacon and eggs are made personal with green tomatoes; bacon is paired with peaches and basil for a salad of surprising flavors and grilled shrimp are tucked in a blanket of glistening bacon. This wouldn’t happen without careful planning, lighting and a very talented crew that makes the magic happen.

People can imagine just how a dish will taste - and smell.
