This guy. My biz partner Huge Galdones. Making homemade Butter Mochi for our open house last Friday at our new studio LIKE A BOSS. (If you missed it, let us know, we are gonna start doing a fun breakfast hangout series) Also many thanks to Missy Maan de Kok Myers who we basically couldn't get anything done without! What we are building over at Roll Cut Studios (Agency focused Video & Photo), Skalawag Productions (Direct Brand focused Video & Photo) fills me up with so much excitement (and sometimes panic ;) A lot of what we talk about when we aren't on set shooting Food & Beverage work is the idea of hospitality - extending the table, taking care of people, while also doing the cool stuff. He made a whole spread for the party: Spam Musubi, Kalua Pork, Mac Salad, Butter Mochi, etc. I also made some killer Painkillers to go along with our tiki theme. And we were chatting about how it would be fun to do this every couple months for clients, collaborators and friends. Extend the table, invite people to hang and cook for them. So stay tuned for our upcoming breakfast series where we cook you breakfast, and provide some space to be human, extend the table and learn what's happening in each others lives. #foodandbeverage #advertising #marketing #videoproductioncompany #hospitality

Getting photo & video clients is hard. Here's how to make it easy 👇 Imagine you want to try a new restaurant tonight. You're craving Italian food. You search up 'Italian restaurants near me" and you start browsing. I don't know about you, but I'm filtering by ratings. I want something 4.5 stars or higher. The more reviews, the better. If a restaurant has zero reviews, I don't even consider this. And this is where most photographers and videographers go wrong. A client goes to their website, they love the photos, but they see ZERO reviews. There's no credibility. Clients have no idea what it's like to ACTUALLY work with you. It's just you promoting yourself. And online, there's a lack of trust here. Sure your portfolio looks good, but no one is vouching for you. Same with that restaurant with no reviews. Their menu looks good, but how do you know the food actually tastes good? The solution is simple. Gather testimonials and slap them on your website.

Discover the secret recipe to winning your diners' hearts through stunning visuals! From igniting cherished memories to tantalizing taste buds, learn how to craft the perfect menu.

I was frying crepes for Yom Tov… (It's a semi-approved activity for husbands. It ranks after cholent and grilled cheese, but well before baking.) …and it wasn't working out. I have creping down to a science,  but now I was impatient - and it was showing. I slowed myself down and we were back in business! You can be great at things. But some things just take time. I'm not gonna circle back to branding, but this shows up at work all the time. Identify the things that require nurturing and patience and then ride the process out, slow and steady. Just keep at it and it will fall into place. End of motivational Thursday. Is that a thing? #slowandsteady #process #blintzes #designwithdestination #studioblu ____________________ Hi, I’m Yaakov, strategist/writer/researcher at Studio BLU, where I enjoy uniqueing businesses who know they're outstanding.

In informal settings, "to sign off on something" means to agree with or approve something without the need for a formal signature, often indicating consent or acceptance. Example sentences: 1. I'll sign off on going to the beach instead of the movies. 2. Are you ready to sign off on the party happening at your place? 3. She's waiting for her friends to sign off on the restaurant choice. 4. Let's see if everyone will sign off on the road trip plan. 5. He needs his parents to sign off on him borrowing the car. 6. Do you think they'll sign off on changing the meeting time? 7. I'm not sure if they'll sign off on the new design for the logo. 8. We're hoping the team will sign off on the revised budget proposal. 9. Did you sign off on sharing the photos on social media? 10. I'll ask my roommate to sign off on having guests over tonight. Hashtags: #AgreeToIt #ApprovalGiven #ConsentGranted #AgreedUpon #OKWithIt #AcceptedDecision #Greenlit #GoForIt #ThumbsUp #ConsentGiven

Capturing Comfort: 1. Visual Texture: A drizzle adds a layer of visual texture that draws the eye and creates interest. The contrast between the smooth surface of the dish and the delicate, flowing lines of the drizzle creates a dynamic composition. 2. Implied Movement: The sight of a drizzle in mid-flow suggests action and motion, even in a still image. This adds a sense of life and energy to the photograph, making the viewer feel as though they could reach out and touch the food. 3. Flavour Storytelling: Beyond aesthetics, a drizzle can hint at the flavours and ingredients in a dish. A golden honey drizzle might suggest sweetness, while a rich, dark chocolate drizzle hints at decadence. 4. Chef's Signature: In many ways, a drizzle is the chef's signature on a dish. It's a final flourish that speaks to the care and creativity that went into its creation. Next time you're capturing culinary delights through your lens, don't forget the power of the drizzle. It's not just about taste—it's about telling a delicious visual story that leaves viewers hungry for more. 🍽️ #FoodPhotography #VisualStorytelling #DrizzleDelights
