The Restaurant


I photograph a lot of restaurants as part of my job. Usually it involves finding a nice view of the dining room, and then setting up a the chef and maybe the owner in the picture. Usually I need to set up a studio flash unit to light the subjects as well. Sometimes the photographs have a similar look to them because of the compostition. But on this day, I walked into this restaurant and saw these wonderful paintings on the bright yellow wall, AND, there was really lovely natural light coming in through the windows on the right. All I had to do was to arrange the owner and the chef in a nice composition, and shoot the picture. About as easy as it can get, in this case.
