This week on the blog: Recent Commercial Photo + Video work for Bentoville.

By now, many of you have probably heard about Bentoville, their world class cuisine and their equally accomplished chefs. Maybe you’ve experienced one of their amazing events in person. Or perhaps you’ve simply ordered one (or more) of their Bento Boxes for lunch or dinner. But if you HAVEN’T heard of Bentoville…

As a self-proclaimed “inexperienced” and “picky” seafood eater, I cannot and will not claim to have a vast knowledge of the world of sushi. My experience with fish and seafood is largely based on odors. These include both the odor of dead fish I recall from my childhood days at the lake and also, the trauma of riding homeward for 2+ days in the family van which was loaded with styrofoam coolers full of fresh seafood from the gulf coast. These were acquired in the dead heat of summer during our annual beach trip vacation. These two prominent experiences left me inevitably skeptical of seafood in general.

With the seasons changing and the status of restaurants slowly but surely allowing some outdoor and indoor seating, it was time an updated menu at Bar Cleeta. If their new menu looks delicious, that’s because it is; speaking from firsthand experience.

Bon Appetit, Cheers and remember to support your local restaurants.

We recently had the opportunity to work with the fine proprietors of The Buttered Biscuit to create some images for their upcoming article in AY Magazine. Their location off of Moberly Lane in Bentonville has been a hot spot for some time now and their second location, now open on Airport Road is gaining traction as well. At either location, you’re bound to find really delicious food made with responsibly sourced ingredients and a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere. Here’s a few images from the shoot. Enjoy.

Hello and Happy (almost) Summer time. As you may or may not know, I (Philip) now have a business partner/collaborator/additional photographer/videographer/website & social media contributor who’s name is Jared. For the past few weeks, we’ve been hard at work creating content and figuring out the routine of running a business together. And that has left us both too busy to share recent work here on the blog. Today, I’m going to begin to remedy that by sharing a few images from a recent photoshoot in Bentonville’s newest culinary establishment, Bar Cleeta.

Unlike a traditional restaurant that serves entrees, Bar Cleeta serves small, shareable plates that pair well with their curated wine list and craft cocktails. As you might expect from a culinary establishment of this caliber, everything is beautifully presented and wonderfully delicious. For more information on Bar Cleeta, please visit their facebook or instagram page.

Cheers!

Food and beverage photography is quickly becoming one of my favorite jobs to work on. Part of this newfound love lies in the fact that I…

Here’s a quick behind the scenes photo from a recent photoshoot at Tusk and Trotter, for Visit Bentonville and The Local Palate, a culinary publication out of Charleston, South Carolina. I am confined to only behind the scenes photos until the publication releases in March. But after that, I’ll be sharing some tasty cocktail photos on here on the blog. In the meantime, enjoy!
