Los Angeles Times - Jeune et Jolie

Editorial Hospitality Photography

Food + Interiors + Portrait

Commissioned by The Los Angeles Times, this editorial assignment featured Jeune et Jolie, the Michelin-starred restaurant in Carlsbad, California, led by Executive Chef Eric Bost. The publication commissioned a collection of food, portrait, and interiors images to accompany both a restaurant review and a broader feature highlighting San Diego's dining scene.

Working on location before restaurant service, I documented the restaurant's distinctive cuisine, atmosphere, and culinary craftsmanship while supporting the publication's editorial storytelling. The final photographs were published in both the print and digital editions of The Los Angeles Times.

This project demonstrates my approach to editorial and commercial hospitality photography, creating authentic, story-driven imagery for restaurants, hotels, chefs, hospitality brands, and editorial publications.
