Lifestyle photography for NORMS Restaurants - Los Angeles, CA

February 08, 2024 in lifestyle photography, Los Angeles

2024 marks the 75th Anniversary of NORMS restaurant. This beloved SoCal diner has been serving up classics like Steak and Eggs, the Bigger Better Breakfast, Milkshakes, French Toast, and perhaps their most famous, Hotcakes, with an original recipe that dates back to 1949.

I was so excited when producer Joe Russell reached out with a lifestyle shoot for this legendary Los Angeles chain of restaurants! NORMS was looking to attract a new/younger generation of patrons. I shot stills alongside a film crew producing 3 TV spots. Time is always of the essence but tandem shoots like this present unique since talent and sets are being shared with slightly different objectives in mind! Please check out the gallery below to see the results!

Lifestyle photography for TREEZ.IO - Los Angeles, CA

November 21, 2023 in lifestyle photography, Los Angeles, product photography, santa barbara

TREEZ.IO is a technology company specializing in point-of-sale, inventory and retail analytics for the cannabis industry. In collaboration with marketing agency Oniracom I was tasked with producing a small library of lifestyle photography assets featuring retail workers using various TREEZ solutions in the wild. We shot at two dispensary locations; one in Los Angeles, CA and one in Sebastopol, CA. Coordinating shooting times to have the least interference with customers and business operations was a challenge. We had a small 3 person crew and worked quickly through our shot lists while being mindful of the impact on other workers and customers. TREEZ was blown away with the results which you can check out below.
