One Columbus Place | New York

posted on: Thursday, January 9, 2014


On the day of this shoot, I was mentally preparing myself for a rainstorm that was suppose to happen as I arrive to this Columbus Circle apartment. Luckily, the majority of the morning was mostly gray and I had shot most of the interiors by the time the heavy rain clouds came rolling into the city. Diana had installed a pair of beautiful CB2 pendant lamps in the master bedroom and it was the perfect kind of day for us to turn them on for the shoot. 

These photos were also taken with a new lens I gifted myself over the holidays (or as I like to call it more, an "investment") - the Canon TS-E24mm f/3.5L II. To me, the beauty of this lens is that it slows down my work pace. The lens mimics the movements of a large-format camera, which is another reason why I'm a fan of it. I am way less trigger-happy on my dslr and although setting up a shot takes a bit longer, the photos come out better and the way I intended it to look. This baby is worth every pretty penny.




Gyu-Kaku Menu Shoot

posted on: Sunday, January 5, 2014

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.


Domino Magazine: Table Manners

posted on: Saturday, November 23, 2013

It was a real treat photographing for Nicole Gibbons' holiday table setting article for Domino Magazine. I've been a long-time admirer of the magazine ever since it launched during my teen years and it has certainly influenced the things I like to photograph today: decor. I am always inspired by beautiful color palettes and styling, so it was a great insight for me to see Nicole working her decorating magic one Sunday afternoon in her apartment where the shoot took place.

The feature is now live on Domino, so click here to view photos and read more about Nicole's five tips for creating an elegant (and fuss-free) holiday table setting. Stay tuned for outtakes in a later post!
