Lee Starnes

Lee travels, eats and tells stories. Currently based in Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon, Vietnam he shoots food, travel stories as well as commercial product photography. Travel and food are both about forming bonds and sharing stories. Traditions as old as humanity. Working in the food and beverage industry for over a decade gives him a deep appreciation of breaking bread, story telling, and the power of sharing cultures through food and travel. He now takes the same approach to make use of the camera to help tell these stories and bring people closer together. Using the visual medium of photography has given him the opportunity to share experiences and build relationships with people all over the world, and it's this common respect and curiosity that forms the backbone of his work. That, and he’s always keen for a bowl of noodles and a cold beer with strangers and friends alike.

Ruben Cabrera

Ruben Cabrera is a Venezuelan-born photographer and videographer based in Miami, FL. Ruben’s work has been consistently sought and displayed by a number of prominent brands and advertising clients, including Air Jordan, Nike, Four Seasons, Old Parr, Bacardi, FTD Flowers and much more. He has worked with a number of Michelin recognized chefs including Gaston Acurio, Antonio Bachour, Brad Kilgore, Jeremy Ford, Matthew Kenney, Rich Rosendale to name a few. His work can be regularly found in magazines and across advertisements. At the age of 19, his own curiosity for the culinary world took him to the Culinary Institute of Caracas where he got his first taste of a real kitchen environment. Instantly hooked, he worked in a couple of kitchens throughout Caracas and in 2008, decided to move to Miami to further his education at Le cordon Bleu college of culinary arts. This foundation built on the back of the culinary arts gives Ruben a deep, and appreciative understanding for food and the culinary world at large that few photographers possess. In 2022, Ruben got the opportunity to work on a campaign for the world renown artist, J Balvin, and his new collaboration with Air Jordan sneakers. These images were featured in prominent places such as Times Square, Nike’s website and many more. Whether he’s shooting food, hospitality or products, Ruben demonstrates that it’s not only the technique that makes a good photograph, but one’s personal connection and understanding of the subject matter that truly makes an image resonate. Most recently, Ruben can be found between New York and South Florida working with some of the nation's top restaurants and chefs.

Steve Buchanan

Steve’s been interested in photography since he was 14. While working at 7-Eleven stocking shelves, he spotted the label on the back of a roll of Kodak film which read, “Take this film to your Kodak processor or develop it yourself using Kodak chemistry.” Immediately he thought, “You mean you can do that?” And he was hooked. In the years since, he’s photographed everything from mummies to machine guns. He’s shot in lots of places he’s fond of, a few he’d like to forget (the blast freezer comes to mind), and all the while finding new ways to capture the beauty of the world. Steve lives on Maryland's Eastern Shore with his family and a scruffy Jack Russell

Joe St. Pierre

Hi, I'm Joe. A Boston-based food, hospitality and lifestyle photographer. I'm self-taught with a passion for all things photography, beautiful light, fresh food, sincere people and inspiring spaces. I love keeping things simple in life and on set as I find it always produces the best results with the least amount of stress. No matter the size of the project I always bring the same passion and dedication to each individual job and it's my priority to make sure everyone goes home happy.

Suzanne Clements

Some like to take the easy road, others prefer the path less travelled. I am a fan of the latter – I thrive on challenge, detail, and problem solving. It’s that passion that makes me crave the right shot, right set, and most mouth-watering styling. Food photography is not a simple path from idea to execution – it’s an exploration and often a collaboration. When I first began to explore this type of work I knew it would make for an epic creative journey from my first attempts at lighting, to the way I continue to push myself creatively today. I am always exploring and I don’t think I’ll ever stop learning. When I’m not in the kitchen or the studio you’ll find me happily collecting my share of sand and dirt out on the mountain bike trails in Central Florida. To me there is no better feeling than the rush you get from a job well done…except maybe the rush of rolling along a beautifully flowing trail with some happy jumps and berms in a beautiful wooded setting.

Morgan Ione

Combining my own attributes and technical skills, I help brands tell their distinct narrative, establish their visual identity, and create memorable content for all usage and platforms. My clients span commercial, editorial, restaurant, boutique hospitality, travel, luxury residential, publishing, B2B, B2C, D2C, and startup brands. I earned my degree in Journalism from Boston University, and Editorial and Advertising Honors from The New England School Of Photography. I have an extended network of producers, video crews, food stylists, prop stylists, studios, creative directors, and graphic designers that help to make every shoot a perfect success. While currently growing roots in Chicago, I also have a strong client base in New York City where I spent the first ten years of my career and established myself in the creative community.

Tyler Darden

I wish I could say I have tasted every dish I shot. People may not agree on politics, taxes or even the weather, but we surely drop our differences and come together over food. Time spent at the table with others is one of the best ways to get to know them. Photography is much the same. Spending most of my fifteen year career as a magazine art director and photographer, I have worked with a wide variety of subjects from senators and beauty queens to chefs and turkeys. I enjoy the time with the personalities I photograph and the gratifying part is hearing their story and capturing the moment in time. My work has been recognized in the creative industry’s leading publications: Art Director’s Club of New York Annual, the Communication Arts Design Annual, and SPOTS competition. I often use older film cameras including an 11×14 ultra large format Burke & James, 8×10 and 4×5 pinhole cameras, and a beautiful Pentax 67. My recent favorite is a 1960’s era Polaroid Land camera converted into a 4×5 rangefinder. I live, work and play in Richmond, Virginia with my lovely and very understanding wife, two daughters and son.

Rick Souders

Rick Souders is an honors graduate from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Rick's unique creative and business background has allowed him to work at a Fortune 250 Beverage Company, then to one of the largest Advertising Agencies in the US, to owning one of America’s top food and beverage Studios. In his own words: I grew up in the rural high plains near the Pawnee National Grasslands. Yes, very rural. My mom worked at a portrait studio and my dad, amongst many things, was a professional leather artist and taught leather craft. So, I lived in a very creative and inspiring atmosphere. Growing up in a small town allowed me to raise chickens, rabbits, and pheasants and have many pets including toads, tarantulas, possums and a raccoon. My passion for food and agriculture runs deep. I appreciate where our food comes from and I think that has played an important role in my love of food and beverage photography. Today I live on the Studio property in a beautiful environmentally friendly ranch home. Other quirky things include a degree in Taxidermy and my 1967 Bentley.

Ben Sisco

My interest in product photography began with shooting “portraits” of fruits and veggies. During this time, I started mentoring under Roger DiFiore in Tucson. This helped me refine technical aspects of photography. I tend to favor making images that are rather sparse with perhaps a touch of humor. The process of transforming a product using light is endlessly fun. Seeing the glow of liquid through a bottle or the texture come alive on a toy is what motivates me. I begin the process of product photography by talking with clients in order to understand their needs. The more details I can get, the better. I may ask for sample images to get a clearer idea of the look wanted. Next, I write a quote based on this information. I like to stay in close communication once photography has begun, sending proofs to the client along the way. For me, this is one of the most important parts of the process.
