Clients: Longfellow Real Estate and Bon Appetit Management Co. I was hired to photograph celebrity chef Richard Blais and several of the dishes for his concept restaurant California English, a fusion of classic English recipes with Californian ingredients. The photos were used in various digital marketing materials and were also published as full-page ads in San Diego Magazine and several other print publications.
