Brian Smith (BPD Studios)

Brian began his career in photography in a more traditional way. Starting out in a professional lab at the age of 14. Traveling to japan to work for many of the great innovators in the industry at Pentax camera in Tokyo japan. Then jumping into to his role as a photographer for his university public relations and marketing department … all before he hit the age of 21, digital cameras, social media and way before he even dreamed of starting his own studio. He is one of the few photographers nowadays who actually understands the science and behavior of light. He is a master in studio lighting in and mixologists at blending natural and artificial light. Most photographers stay within their contrived boundaries of "photography" or what they think a "photographer" is. Brian approaches photography like a traditional artist—“ I wanna know the brand and I want to be able to show you how my images can help tell the story of your brand." He provides valuable insights to what it takes to create a memorable, unique brand.

Lin began her career as an editor and product developer at Martha Stewart Living, later moving on to freelance life as a set designer + prop stylist. Now she shoots food and still life for national and international brands, and travels on assignment in search of food and "real" life.

After assisting a variety of talented interior, still life, food, and fashion photographers, his own style began to emerge. It was these diverse assignments and experiences that make Ian comfortable in many settings, with many subjects. Hanson likes anything with two wheels and a motor, as well as the adventure and beauty the open road provides. When he’s not in the studio, Ian can be found exploring the landscape and searching out the best eats with his wife and two boxers Tank & McLovin’, or maybe working on a personal project like the www.thefotobus.com.

Chad Dennis

Annie Martin

The beauty of life is its different qualities of light, texture, and harmonious imbalance. Capturing this is what most inspires me as a photographer. I see the world through the conscious and subconscious flavors and aromas of my childhood memories. A childhood that included my earliest years living in Guatemala, then moving through 36 states in an old-beater Mercedes van with my family, a few months in Thailand, and eventually landing in Florida as a teenager. Throughout my life, I was surrounded by delicious meals, rich cultures, and vibrant experiences, which were all nurtured by my parents and have affected my ability to find beauty anywhere. I left home at 19 to start my own journey, which took me to New York, , Germany, France, and finally California. The first part of my career was spent as a personal chef, which eventually led me to attend The Academy of Art University for photography. From there I was staff photographer at Munchery, one of the first food startups in the US where I built and managed a photography team of five photographers in four states. I was the marketing photographer for Good Eggs, a tech based food startup in Silicon Valley. I’ve since freelanced for a variety of brands like Postmates, Udemy, and Brandless, editorials like Martha Stewart Living, National Geographic Magazine, Healthyish, and established companies like Jello and Avocado of Mexico. Clearly my first love is food photography, but thanks to my vagabond upbringing, I’m easily able to capture the storytelling of lifestyle + travel that any client needs.

Melissa Shanahan, Chelsea Rose (Amy Rose)

Melissa Amy Shanahan and Chelsea Rose Nye are the powerhouse duo—hey, we’re just telling it like it is—behind Amy Rose Photography. With two decades of professional experience, Melissa and Chelsea bring a united vision and next-level passion to every single project. They just click. Pun intended.

Melissa and Chelsea’s backgrounds couldn’t be more different, but they’re absolutely in sync in their dedication to creating impactful and—we’ll just say it—kick-ass imagery. When they’re not working with clients (and making magic on set), Melissa and Chelsea are grabbing life by the you-know-whats, adventuring, globe-trotting it up, and drinking in new cultures. Clients include Wayfair, Birch Lane, All Modern, Joss & Main, Berkshire, Lucidity Lights, Wolverine Worldwide, Perigold, Brilli, Innocor, Rafi Nova, Pacific Retail Capital Partners, and True Scoops. Amy Rose Photography works locally out of New York and Boston, and is looking to expand to opportunities beyond.

Rocco Ceselin

I’m a lifestyle and portrait photographer from Italy, currently residing in Los Angeles. As a young boy I had a colorful vintage 1960s map of the United States above my bed. Each main region was represented with a little sketch or figure, very detailed, and I had dreams that one day I was going to be there and discover all those places myself. My passion for visual arts encouraged me to study graphic design and work as web designer in Italy. The opportunity became reality in 2002 when I moved from Italy and my journey started in San Francisco. In few years I ended up in various circumstances in the city of Angeles. The multicultural environment, the vibrant lifestyle and the excitement for embracing this new adventure of life has been my motivation for taking photographs. A passion I cultivated since I was a young teenager and has transformed my life and career. After lot of training and experience, I consider myself very fortunate.

Anthony Tahlier

My work spans many different genres – from shooting people to focusing on things we wear, the things we eat, to the places we live, to the things we love, and the things we crave. I love to capture it all. People ask me to help them tell stories through a lens. I can do that – I love it.

Ted Thomas (Zero Cool Studio)

With over 25 years experience, I approach every job with inspiration, enthusiasm, flexibility and professionalism. Prior to becoming a photographer, I worked as a chef in restaurants across the country, so I know how to hustle, and can multi-task with the best of them. Whether it’s a location shoot with a big crew, or a simple set in my studio, I love the collaboration that comes with creating something unique. I’m here to offer solutions. Over the course of my career, I’ve maintained long term relationships with my clients, and won awards for both my still and motion work. Some of my clients include: Safeway, Sur la Table, Lagunitas, Starbucks, Cowgirl Creamery, Chronicle Books, Insight Editions, McEvoy Ranch, Cost Plus World Market, Sunglass Hut, Discovery and Amazon. In my spare time I can be found perfecting my Neapolitan style pizzas, ribs, and gumbo, and driving my family crazy with taste tests. Never far from an ocean, I’ve been an avid surfer, sailor, and waterman since I was 8 years old. Even so, I still love to escape to the mountains when necessary. I’m available for shoots in both the San Francisco, and New York City areas, or anywhere there’s good food.

Jaroslav Francisko

Joe Schmelzer

Photographer Joe Schmelzer might have taken an entirely different career path had it not been for Mohammad Ali. While the bedrooms of his junior-high classmates were plastered with posters of Big Hair Bands and bigger-haired babes, not so Joe’s walls. Commanding the space above his twin beds hung only a framed black-and-white portrait of the history-making heavyweight — one of a limited edition signed by photographer Yousuf Karsh. Placed there by Joe’s father because (though "a solid investment") it absolutely did not go with the downstairs decor, the photo would impact Joe’s life more than anyone could have imagined: Under the shadow of The Greatest, Joe says, "Something just clicked." Nearly two decades later, Joe is an editorial and commercial photographer specializing in hotel, food, environmental and celebrity portraits…

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.

Chad Holder

If Chad’s photography had a trait it would probably be labeled optimistic. Chad looks to capture the beautiful, the good in the world around us, and the people in it. It could be a pleasant smile, time shared between friends, the solace of a place. “I am a photographer because I want to create, share, elevate the production, and collaborate with others who have creative ideas. I photograph because it’s my way of telling the story.” Chad continues to create content for national brands as well as many local and editorial clients. He lives in Minneapolis, MN with his wife and 3 children.

Judy Doherty

I am a San Francisco Bay Area-based food, beverage, and CPG product photographer specializing in photos, stop motion, and video. While I have over 30,000 photos delivered and love to make beautiful images, the reason why you would hire me is for my ability to take your great idea to the next level. My strength lies in a nimble and lean approach to creating visual results. Clients love getting creative content at a reasonable cost since my studio team can art direct, style, and shoot their images quickly and on budget. I enjoy working closely with marketing teams, brand managers, agencies, PR firms, brand strategists, graphic designers, influencers, chefs, and entrepreneurs to build vivid, authentic imagery that engages the visual taste of the viewer. My studio features its own extensive surface library and prop house, a fully-equipped chef’s kitchen, 2 production studios, an outdoor studio, and a post-production station. A proven creative process quickly gets to the heart of what the client loves. I have a moodboard and design process dedicated to the discovery of what is best for any project. This makes every shoot very smooth and successful. My experience as a chef, stylist, and photographer has earned many awards including APA Top 100, ACF Gold Medal, and a juried fine art photo exhibit at Art Basel Miami. I was Executive Pastry Chef for two Hyatt Hotels and Resorts before completing two post-baccalaureate certificates for Visual Art and Graphic Design at U.C. Berkeley Extension in San Francisco. I have a master’s degree in Food Business at the Culinary Institute of America with an emphasis on sustainability and branding.

Alex Sewald

I am a New York-based commercial photographer, specializing in food, drinks, and lifestyle. My passion for capturing the art of food grew from my long-time affair with cooking and eating. I blame it on growing up in South Carolina – a childhood spent immersed in the addictive scent of a deep southern smoked barbecue, what would you expect?
