Shoot - Barcelona Wine Bar - Dallas TX

Fun Fact: We initially scheduled this shoot over 2 years ago, but because of crazy world events, it took us this long to get back into the production of it! I had an excellent few days down in Dallas shooting atmosphere, food, and interiors for Barcelona who I’ve worked with at several locations now, producing stills for their image-libraries. There is always a little voyeurism in capturing a live restaurant space, and this location’s design produced a lot of nooks and vignettes of guests and team members interacting that created interesting dynamics for the shoot.

Shoot - bartaco - Washington DC

I’ve been shooting for the bartaco brand for as long as it’s been around, and while the restaurants are always designed in a similar fashion, I take that as a challenge when I’m shooting in one of their new locations, to create new and interesting content for them to use on social and internally for hiring or reference. I also experimented with using continuous lights on this shoot for the bartender portraits, It did a great a deal of help in capturing those exact expressions and generating some more excitement during the day!
