In this months issue of Angeleno Magazine I got the opportunity to meet and photograph Chef Kuniko for The Radar Party section. It was such a pleasure to meet her, watch her cook, and especially taste the food! Photographing a five course meal you end up with a lot of pictures so I created a few dip-ticks of a few of my favorite shots.
The January issue of Angeleno Magazine kept me extremely busy! I had the pleasure of photographing a lot of amazing and talented people here in Los Angeles. Check out my tear sheets below along with some fun outtakes from all of the shoots!
Dinner hosted by Mariel Hemingway at Urban Zen, Donna Karen's store in LA. Top Chef's Chef Kuniko wowed us all with her talent and Clean Plates author Jared Kotch joined us along with a few others.
Check out some outtakes!
I had the pleasure to photograph this four page story for Orange Coast Magazine featuring three different vineyards in Orange County! I visited Newport Beach Vineyard, Pozzuoli Winery, and Giracci Vineyard and boy were they all amazing! Check out the story below!
Here are some outtakes that I put together from all three vineyards!
Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a photographer based in Los Angeles, CA. Being a first generation Cuban American, I was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV and I decided to pursue a career that felt.....right! I graduated from Art Center College of Design in 2008 and started shooting for magazines immediately after. Working for several publications in Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego) I'm taking pictures and loving every moment of it!
