"I have been a food and beverage photographer in the Boston area for three years. 

My favorite part of being a food photographer is that I usually get to try the food. So with a consumer's eye (some pun intended), I eat with my eyes first. I try to bring that perspective to my photos, by making images starring the food first and foremost.

Working directly with restaurants, marketing groups, and magazines, my work has been featured all over the New England area. Other recent work includes campaigns for Harpoon Brewery (UFO), and Cold Fusion Gelato."
