About Eddie — Bay Area Food & Hospitality Photographer
A decade behind the bar, now behind the camera. Food and hospitality photography, shot across the Bay Area since 2018.
The bar came first.
The camera followed.
How years behind the bar shaped the way he shoots food, and why a live service doesn't slow him down.
See how a shoot runsFrom the bar to the camera
Before Eddie picked up a camera he spent years behind the bar, watching chefs plate, teams move, and guests judge every dish the second it hit the table. That is the edge: he knows how a kitchen breathes, how to shoot a live service without getting in the way, and why presentation is everything.
How Eddie shoots a live service
Calm on set, quick with a joke, easy to work with. Rooms get shot in their own light when the room deserves it, recipe sets run on a standing set when consistency matters, and nobody ends up posing between your team and your guests.
100+ Bay Area venues and a cookbook
More than a hundred Bay Area venues since 2018 — Sobre Mesa, The Black Cat, La Marcha, Town Tavern and Amado among them — from Michelin rooms to neighborhood bars, plus a cookbook for Ten Speed Press published in June 2026. The case studies show how the shoots actually run.
Who we shoot for
Restaurants and bars across the Bay Area, and the cocktail programs inside them. Cookbook publishers, including Ten Speed Press. Hospitality brands with guidelines, approvals and a deadline. Chefs and their food, shot the way it left the pass. And the crews behind them, for people who hate being photographed.
