Drinks, cheese and different food.

A couple editorial pictures for Boston Magazine. Above is a representation of how many drinks they serve a night at Eastern Standard, there are 100 glasses... Below is the cheese cart at L'espalier. 

Below are ingredients that the chef from Bondir brought by the studio. And yes those are crickets in the lower left corner. Apparently they're a popular menu item. I finally succumbed to peer pressure and ate one, slightly crunchy and buttery....

I had heard of brown bread before we shot this, something to do with a can... Negative space on top and to the right is for type.

Food and Drink

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.
