Phase 1 at B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim


MDRP was sent to Deerfield, Illinois by Finegold Alexander & Associates to photograph the conversion project at B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim. The architect converted an old office plaza into a shiny new place of worship. Phase II may be done next year and we are looking forward to finishing up the photography then.

Clock Bar, The Burrito Cocktail



Yes, it really does taste like a burrito.

UrbanDaddy sent us out to shoot this cocktail at the Clock Bar on Union Square in San Francisco. Food photography requests are becoming more popular now when shoot restaurants. We quite enjoy these requests. Keep 'em coming.

We only had 45 mins to get in, set up, shoot and upload this image to the editor. We shot it with a 150mm Hasselblad lens on a Phase One P25 Digital Back. We lit it with one Lowell Pro 250 Watt Tungsten spot.

The real trick was getting the cilantro to look just right.
