I captured the dedicated staff at Papermoon Diner on their 20-year anniversary. Known for its eclectic decor and vibrant atmosphere, the diner wanted headshots for each staff member. The photo session wasn’t just portraits; it was a celebration of the people who make Papermoon Diner a community favorite.
Papermoon Diner: A Cultural Icon in Baltimore
Papermoon Diner is a Baltimore landmark for two decades. It’s famous for its colorful, whimsical interior. The diner’s quirky vibe attracts locals and visitors. It’s more than a place to eat; it’s a symbol of creativity and community in Baltimore.
The Value of Staff Headshots
Commissioning headshots for the staff wasn’t just about updating their profiles; it was a way to acknowledge and celebrate the team that has been the backbone of Papermoon Diner’s success. These headshots capture the warmth, personality, and pride that each staff member brings to their role. Beyond being professional portraits, they serve as a morale booster, reminding the staff of their importance in the diner’s journey. Moreover, the smiles and confidence captured in these images are a testament to the positive impact that a thoughtful headshot can have on a team.
Gear Used for the Session
To ensure the best quality in these headshots, I used the following gear:
- Canon EOS 5D Mark III: A reliable full-frame camera, perfect for capturing detailed and vibrant portraits.
- EF 35mm f/1.4L USM: A prime lens with a wide aperture, ideal for creating sharp, focused images while also offering beautiful background bokeh.
This combination of gear allowed me to capture the unique personalities of each staff member, producing headshots that truly reflect the spirit of Papermoon Diner. The result is a collection of images that celebrates both the diner’s legacy and the people who make it all possible.

“The project was slightly behind schedule, but it was definitely well worth the wait.”
We love the website Jihonation created for us. Immediately it popped, noticed right away, clean and simplistic. Easy to navigate, quick to the point and exactly what we need. The project was slightly behind schedule, but it was definitely well worth the wait. With a single site that can be accessed on a desktop and iphone, how clever. Thank you very much. Not to mention we love the photographies! We look forward to working with JihoNation on future projects.
