Restaurant Photographer in Houston, TX

Houston has one of the best food scenes in the country, and plenty of great kitchens still market themselves with forgettable photos. The plate deserves better than that.

I photograph restaurants, bars and spirits brands across Texas, including Blackland Distillery and nightlife and hospitality events in Dallas, and I bring my own crew to Houston for menu shoots, bar programs and openings from Montrose to the Heights.
