Tabletop Food and Beverage Director
We’ve all heard the old adage, “Everybody eats.” But can you invoke the same feeling of celebration in food films without people in the frame? Can a product in a still or motion image ever compare with its beauty when in a consumer’s hands?
Brent can.
As a food and beverage director and videographer, Brent takes his food photographer experience to the video camera. Utilizing the camera’s movement, he plays with both constant and available light — specific skills honed in his food photography past. He focuses on the product to bring it to life on the screen. And with experience as an editorial food photographer and products photographer, he nails the bigger editorial picture — every time.

Videographer with a focus around the Culinary Lifestyle
Eating is an active experience. That doesn’t mean capturing the emotion or story of an eating experience is easy. Brent fell in love with the culinary world early into his experience as a professional photographer. And his love of the culinary lifestyle shows in his work as a videographer.

Food Cinematographer
Any chef will tell you that mastering their craft is all about timing. Fundamentals like heat, salt, and fat mean nothing if poured too fast or left on the grill too long. The same is true with the visual storytelling of the culinary world.
As a food cinematographer, Brent applies his vast cooking know-how to tabletop directing. Sometimes, all it takes to bring delicious products to life is a simple camera movement. Or a shift of light or props. But when needed, he brings the newest technology in. With high-speed robotic arms or high-speed cameras, Brent captures moments our eyes might miss. So the elegance of that perfectly-moving sauce or a swift rise of steam are caught on film. And when reworked into your animated gif or commercial? You’ll be sharing the perfect moment, every time.
