Salad Daze

admin — Thu, 11 Apr 2019 19:18:33 +0000

Who can resist a fun play on words? Yep, we’ve been in salad land lately and thanks to the keen art direction of a local advertising agency, we’ve been doing some really neat food photography for a fast-casual salad chain based in Houston, Texas.

We’ve been tasked with capturing images to tell a bit of a story about the client. The story is the salad is fresh, custom, unique, healthy, and up to date…not tired and grumpy like salad bars in all-you-can-eat roadside restaurants.

So, to keep things fresh looking, we use lots of color, approach things with a little bit of graphic sensitivity and stay away from barn wood. You get the idea.

Here are some keepers from our shoot here at the studio. We enjoyed having this Texas client come to Nashville to work with us.

Brats and Beers at Von Elrod’s

What happens when you take a dedicated local restauranteur, a sausage king (not Abe Froman), and 36 taps of beer? Well, you’d think you have the makings of a beer garden. Well, Von Elrod’s isn’t just that, it’s more. Located right next to First Tennessee Park (home of the Nashville Sounds), Von Elrod’s is a family friendly, dog friendly, friend friendly kind of place. We had the opportunity to photograph some of their offerings. Yes, pancakes made the list. Enjoy. We did. – Kyle

Summer of Burgers

admin — Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:04:23 +0000

My kids start back to school tomorrow. Summer has flown by. It seems like here at the studio it’s been a Summer of burgers. From food truck burgers to fast casual burgers and even a Harley Davidson diner burger, it’s been quite a spectrum of well done burger-dom…traditional burger, turkey burger and even a peanut butter and jelly burger. Burgers aren’t always the easiest or fastest things to style. Our food stylists always have a few tricks up their sleeves making my job as a food photographer easy. Here’s a small sampling. Enjoy! – Kyle

Melitta Coffee Video

Motion takes on many different executions. Sometimes it’s stop motion. Sometimes it’s cinemagraphs. In this particular case, it’s a “how-to” with a little humorous twist. Most of the credit for this particular production goes to my friend and collaborator Matt Huesmann.

To Go Bowls

When doing food photography we often get to do what I call food-related photography. In this case, it’s product. Yes, to go containers. If it fits in a bowl, we’re gonna shoot it, and shoot it we did. Here are the results. – Kyle

Stop Motion Summer Drinks

We had a blast working with the creative team from Ruby Tuesday to create a few stop motion animated gifs and videos for their lemonade promotion. Here are a few from our shoot. Safe to say, we all had a lot of fun working on this project. – Kyle
