One of my greatest joys in life is indulging in the experience of delicious diner food—the rich and varied flavors, the enticing and comforting aromas, and the meticulous artisan skills that go into crafting each and every dish. When I engage in food photography, I often find myself shooting with my stomach rather than my head, allowing my passion for food to naturally take the lead. As a result, my deep and genuine love for authentic diner cuisine truly guides, shapes, and inspires every aspect of my creative work.
Capturing the Flavors and Charm of Papermoon Diner
Recently, I was hired by Papermoon Diner to photograph key menu items for their new website. This iconic Baltimore restaurant is beloved not only for its delicious food but also for its quirky, eccentric decor. The session was as fast-paced as the diner itself—boom, boom, boom! Since this type of work is exactly what I thrive on, I enjoyed every moment. After the shoot wrapped up, we shared the delicious food with delivery guys, some co-workers, staff, and neighbors in my building. Consequently, it turned into an impromptu banquet that everyone enjoyed.
Papermoon Diner is a unique place that attracts visitors. It is a must-visit in Baltimore. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, you’ll enjoy great food and a vibrant, eclectic atmosphere. The quirky decor and flavorful dishes create a memorable experience every time.
Gear Used for the Shoot
For this shoot, I relied on the Canon EOS 7D, expertly paired with the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens. This powerful combination enabled me to capture the vibrant colors, intricate textures, and subtle details of each dish. As a result, I was able to showcase the true artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every meal at Papermoon Diner, highlighting its unique culinary appeal.

“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.
