Thanksgiving Glam
I directed and styled a Thanksgiving/Harvest-themed shoot for Cucina Urbana, featured in San Diego Magazine. Drawing inspiration from the restaurant's bold interiors and farm-to-table menu, I designed a modern-glam tablescape with a burgundy and wine-stained color palette, including hand-dyed 'wine-stained' napkins. The bold table setting also incorporated elements of 70s retro style. This shoot was prominently featured in the magazine's special culinary edition and successfully used in print campaigns for the Urban Kitchen Restaurant Group.
Let's see if I'm a good fit for the project.
