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!

Los Angeles cannabis product photographer

Product photography for cannabis brand Delta Munchies | Los Angeles, CA

September 24, 2022 in product photography, Los Angeles

Delta Munchies is a cannabis brand based in Los Angeles, CA. Creative director Vicky Hsu reached out to me for product photography for an upcoming web campaign to promote their Dart XL vape products. Delta Munchies has a strong visual aesthetic, leaning into bold colors, hard shadows and an overall moody vibe. That being said, they also wanted to craft some “high key” images as well with a brighter feeling to appeal to different customers. Take a look at the gallery below to see some of the work!
