Daluva


Discover Daluva - Wine, Tapas, and events in the Westlake district of Hanoi, Vietnam. Daluva was recently opened and featured in this month's "Feed Me" section of East & West magazine. This set of photos I took for Daluva's advertising and to decorate the walls of their cozy establishment.


Nem, one of the delicious tapas at Daluva and a Vietnamese specialty. True to my previous food photography, I promptly had a taste once the work was finished. It's yum, and my favorite tapas dish is the spicy Italian meatballs.


These are a few of the regulars from Westlake out for a drink. Daluva had the novel and tasty idea to throw two opening parties and an art exhibition in the first days. After about 5 weeks of business they have a solid customer base that far exceeded expectations. There's even a place for kids to play upstairs (and I know this because I never want to grow up).


...and a parting shot: red wine, white wine. Alone together.
Seriously, this place is good.
Daluva. mmm...

fashion photographer gone food


I recently had a photograph published in Fashion/Lifestyle publication Paper City Magazine (Dallas, Texas). True to my heritage, it's of a taco. But not any taco! Recently, this work was used for the opening and website of a new restaurant in Dallas called Urban Taco

Now the restaurant's won a "Best of Dallas" award, as well as having been featured in Modern Luxury, the Dallas Morning News, and recommended by the AFI International Film Festival. It's an upscale, modern Mexican taquería located in Mockingbird Station, Dallas. The food's good too, in case you're wondering. After I photographed it, I ate it. mmm...
My compliments to the chef.
