I worked in the hospitality industry for a little over six years. I started out as a trivia host. I developed my own game with a buzzer system and wrote the questions myself. It takes a lot more research than you think. I got a weekly trivia gig at Taurus, a historic bar in Coconut Grove. After some time, I was able to convince ownership I could handle all of their photography, produce all of their videos, design all their menus, table tents, and promotional posters, run social media campaigns, build their website, and update it periodically.

Over the years, Taurus expanded into a hospitality group, opening 7 different concepts throughout Miami, and I provided the same creative services for each property as they expanded.

Transitioning into fine dining with Michelin star chef Michael Beltran, my photos have been featured in multiple publications, including Ocean Drive, Indulge, the Miami Herald, and the Miami New Times.

I’ve taken hundreds of photos in bars and restaurants; here are some of my favorites.
