One evening, with two perspectives

A closer look

This Reggiano’s of Celebration collection brings food photography together with lifestyle portraits. I photographed the food and table details; William Thomason photographed the portraits of me.

What connects the photographs

The lemon squeeze adds action, while pasta and cocktail photographs bring attention to texture and color. The portraits remain part of the shared evening story, with their separate photography credit preserved.

Lifestyle portraits by William Thomason add a separate viewpoint to the evening.

How this approach could work for you

For a hospitality brief, food and lifestyle photographs can complement each other when the roles and intended uses are clear. This set shows that combination as a personal portfolio example.

Before a session, we can talk through what you need the photographs to communicate, where they will be used and the moments that matter most. From there, we can shape a shot list and a pace that fit the project.
