Hi! I'm Mike
I’m a Southern California–based food and restaurant photographer with over 32 years of experience in the food industry as a former chef and owner of a food manufacturing company. My deep understanding of food—from preparation to presentation—allows me to create images that are not only beautiful, but also strategically designed to sell.
My signature style of food photography, which I call “Salivation Shots,” focuses on close-up, crave-worthy imagery that highlights texture, freshness, and detail. By capturing food in the most appetizing light, I help restaurants, chefs, and food brands create powerful visual content that makes viewers hungry, builds desire, and drives orders across menus, websites, and social media.
What We Do...
Discover How We Turn Website Visitors into Customers.How it works...
We schedule a meeting with you at your location to go over your menu and your needs. We'll discuss times and location to shoot, a list of the items you need photographed and pricing. Our fee includes myself and my photo assistant. If you decide that you would like to schedule a shoot with us, a 10% deposit is required to book the day.
On the average, it takes between 10-25 minutes to photograph each item.
When the photo shoot is finished, that's when the bulk of the work begins. I professionally post-process the images, crop, size and format each photo for the different delivery apps, saving you countless hours of work and frustration.
An invoice with the balance due will be sent when the photos are completed. Once the balance due has been remitted, you will be emailed a link to Dropbox to download your finished images.
You now own the photographs*; No Licensing, No Recurring Use Charge. You can print them on your menus, your websites, your ordering apps, send them to magazines to promote your restaurant or print them on a billboard.
