Gyu-Kaku Menu Shoot

Here's a peek at a few of my favorite menu items I had the pleasure of taking for Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ restaurant. It felt so good ending 2013 with both a food and interior shoot (post on that coming soon!) and I can't wait to see what exciting work 2014 will bring.
I suppose I should also say that I'm going to try my hardest to update this blog more. To show more food, more interiors, and more inspiration and love for what I do.

Salmon Trio Roll & Enoki Tempura Roll

A lot of times with sushi I'll just scarf everything down without really knowing what's inside them. I'm trying to work on knowing the ingredients better, but sushi appearances and presentation always gets to me first and I've already dived into my plate.  

A new roll I tried was the Enoki Tempura Roll: mushroom, eel, shrimp and scallion served tempura style

Sushi Pizza

Sushi is absolutely one of my favorite foods and I've never really thought about photographing the bite-size pieces until now. I did a test shoot at Wasabi 34 last weekend and started with one of their appetizers called Sushi Pizza. It's basically slices of salmon, white tuna and crab meat blended with mayonnaise, diced tomatoes, and wasabi powder that is served on scallion pancakes.

Tiramisu

Fun fact: Tiramisu literally means "pick me up" in Italian.
