Portland Food Photographer – Inside the Stellar Juices Shoot
Working as a Portland food photographer is a dream come true for many reasons, one of my favorite being the opportunity to collaborate with friends.
Working As A Portland Food Photographer
Part of my job as a Portland Food Photographer is probably just what you would imagine; I take lots of pictures of food!
But there are countless other tasks that are crucial in delivering the perfectly curated images to my clients. As mentioned above, one of the best parts of my job (aside fro all the delicious food) is getting to network with other creatives.
When my longtime friend Nate opened his first business and reached out to have me shoot their menu, I jumped at the opportunity.
In the last year I’ve worked with a few different brands, including a Colorado based coffee alternative company and a large supermarket chain.
That said, my gigs as a PNW and local Portland Food Photographer always stand out the most to me. Especially when the business is owned by a close friend!
So without further ado, let’s jump into my Stellar Juices shoot!
About the Project
One of my goals for the new year was to share more about my client work here on the blog. If you follow me over on Instagram, you’ve probably seen shots here and there from my project with Stellar Juices.
Nate came to me with hopes of getting shots of the entire menu and some individual ingredients.
I showed up at his restaurant with all my photography equipment, backdrops, and props.
Their head chef got to work making their menu items while I set up my studio by a window in their shop.
About Stellar Juices
Before I share some of my favorites shots from our shoot, I wanted to share a bit about what makes Stellar Juices so special.
As a Portland Food Photographer, I’ve worked with many brands serving individuals with unique needs, but this was my first time working with an entirely plant based restaurant.
Their menu was so colorful with a variety of wellness shots, smoothies, and freshly squeezed juicces. all made without fillers, powders, or ice. Only real, organic ingredients.
Check out some of my favorite menu items in the shots below and be sure to stop by Stellar Juices if you’re ever in downtown Olympia, Washington!
