We love working with Houlihan’s on their J Gilbert’s and Devon Seafood brands, and as we’re working on one next week in Chicago I figured I’d share this project from last year. We have a lovely time working with Dean on set; he’s a great art director and really makes me giggle during the insane hours we have to be on-set. 

The images are really fun to work on as we end up spending a lot of time tweaking the lighting and staging to make the images perfect ; plus they are some of the most beautiful restaurants I’ve been in.

All of the Lights…

It’s really good fun shooting architecture and sometimes we find that the simple things get really complicated to get a quick shot. This week we’re out in Atlanta, shooting for Houlihan’s at their Chequers location, focusing on the private dining rooms.

One of the details we love to capture are these simple “down-the-line” shots featuring the table setting and capturing the room ambience…for this one we ended up with nine lights and got a really nice shot.

WE LOVE RESTAURANT SHOOTS. IT MAKES LUNCH TASTIER.

We’ve had a great history of working with Houlihan’s and while I love photographing their food I also really enjoy photographing their interior architecture. Recently they opened a new J Gilbert’s concept restaurant in St Louis and it is simply breathtaking. As always we loved working with Dean and were delighted with the results - lots of careful lighting and staging, but it’s a beautiful restaurant.

PS The food is pretty delicious too.
