I'm not a food photographer, at least in the sense of creating make me hungry kinds of pictures of stylized prepared food. It's just not my thing. But, I was approached by the Photo Editor at Boston magazine to shoot some food items, he actually had to kind of talk me into doing it. I'm glad he did, had a good time making these and the butter breton pastries, shown above from Flour Bakery - are absolutely wonderful, not so much though if you count calories.
Flour is actually close to my studio, we get food for shoots there all the time. The food scene around here is pretty good, besides Flour we have a couple other excellent options in the neighborhood. Several repeat clients have remarked they look forward to lunch here. There's a coffee roaster whose espresso beans I buy, cappuccinos and lattes we make at studio put Starbucks to shame. It's going to get better too, there are plans in the works for more highly regarded chefs opening places within walking distance.
