    Good old Yaar Spice that I got to shoot twice last year and it’s always been a pleasure doing so! When the bosses forget about a shoot on the 3th run, it doesn’t bother me since the corpo clients still pay me, and reschedule was arranged smoothly for a pre-lunch timeframe as opposed to being…

    Lasani Kabob was a pretty fancy Pakistani spot in Lorton with your usual selection of spicy goodies and a food bar on top of the standard entrees. The shoot went well from what I can recall.

    What used to be Aladdin Sweets and Tandoor eventually became Aladdin Restaurant and this shoot went perfectly fine some years ago. Half made to order entrees, half the good and usual Bangladeshi buffet style kind of place in west Arlington off of Langston Boulevard.

    Azan Karahi N Kabab was a nice little shoot away from downtown hustle and bustle, located in one corner of Security Square where I70 dissipates into local roads. Simple cafeteria style decor, at least when I shot there, and simply good and honest Pakistani food.

    Quite the mouthful of a post title, but Spice Village almost rivals the relatively new Asian food halls in the sheer variety of the food they offer here! Kallisto Steakhouse has grills and fries of shmeat; Peri-Peri Original adds some competition to Nando’s and Galito’s African grilled chicken; Khyber Shinwari is your good old Indian…

    Got to shoot one of the overall few local Indian chains, Urban Tandoor, at several of their locations and several times per location. Overall solid food and smooth shoots each time!

    Nothing like an early milestone in any career – Minerva marked my 300th shoot about 5 years ago and I would be back to this one several times later on with the owner absolutely squeezing the photo opportunity he technically pays for in the first place. Curries are great, but tandoori grill sampler can be…

    Flavors of India is a tiny, but cozy Indian restaurant at the eastern tip of Georgetown, DC, right off of L street NW. Around this time, Indian spots started to be some of my faves to shoot because typically most of the curries and masalas are already made or simply topped off from the lunch…

    Right north of the new Rockville Town Center, in Ritchie Center square, is the amazing OM Fine Indian Cuisine restaurant. Wide variety of dishes and plenty of lunch specials, including the Richard Montgomery High School students’ favorite – Butter Chicken. The decor is no slouch with beautiful, custom table cloths. Local Indian beers are present…

    Rasoi is an excellent Indian restaurant right off of K street in Farragut West, DC. Superb dish selection, lunch buffet, and very lovely decor and atmosphere. Parking is probably the hardest part, but my shoot itself went without a hitch.

    This was my 2nd and also a re-shoot for the restaurant. For a wedding? Re-do’s do not exist. For studio work, it’s an easy fix. But for food? HOW in the fucking world do you fuck-up a FOOD shoot this badly, when you’re supposed to only use natural light and actually work with the venue??…

    It all started with this little place that has either moved or shut down since, but this was an easy-peasy, straight-forward good day that began my journey into this strange, strange world of food advertising. Over the years, this job took me all over the States and even overseas, and I hope that every one…
