Case Study - Mocha Café Menu
Menu styling and photography for the Mocha Café brand menu. Mocha cafés are found throughout Macau, often connected to gaming establishments.
Over the past decade, I have worked as a photographer in Macau with the finest international hotels, restaurants, and brands in the city. After my start in the region photographing food, travel features, and portraits for Destination Macau magazine, I have since covered editorial stories in the territory for The New York Times, Prestige, and Air Macau Magazine, among others. I have photographed assignments perched on the top iconic buildings from the Macau Tower and Grand Lisboa, to the gold crowns atop the Galaxy resort. Many of the region’s business leaders have been the subject of my portraits, including Pansy Ho, Francis Lui, and Laurence Ho.
I frequently photograph marketing and advertising photographs in Macau for hospitality and dining clients including Melco Resorts, Galaxy, Wynn, and MGM. I have filmed marketing and advertising videos illustrating adventure activities for the AJ Hackett Macau Tower, celebrity chefs for MGM, hotel facilities at the Four Seasons Macau, and lifestyle advertising for Galaxy’s China Rouge.
