A closer look

This Sushi Yama collection pairs my photograph of a colorful sushi platter with portraits of me by William Thomason. The pink dress and restaurant setting bring a soft visual thread to the shared set.

What connects the photographs

The platter image demonstrates my food photography; the portraits show a separate modeling role. Keeping those credits visible lets the collection tell one evening’s story without blending the two authorships.

Inside the images

Three things to notice

01

The sushi platter is the food photograph I created.

02

William Thomason’s portraits establish the lifestyle side of the set.

03

The restaurant details keep the viewpoints connected to the same visit.

How this approach could work for you

For a hospitality collaboration, I would agree on who is photographing, who is appearing and which images the project needs before planning the session.

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.
