I usually try to update my website every year or so to adapt for the way that my career and life has evolved. Last year when I updated jonathangayman.com I was more focused on marketing towards my corporate clients, but in the past year my work has started to slide more towards the food and lifestyle side. I had two main goals when putting together this site refresh: simplify the design for a more professional look that would really focus […]
As I mentioned in my previous post, I did some work for Sauce Magazine, a culinary magazine here in St. Louis. While the majority of my work these days is corporate, I have been exploring food culture and photography over at my blog Shoot To Cook, and it is always exciting to get food assignments.

This short series of images approaches food photography from a dramatic angle in black and white. Click on an image to view the gallery. Use the arrow keys to […]
One of my motivations for getting into food photography was learning how to cook. As a way for me to learn how to be more competent in the kitchen and to hone my technique in food photography I started a food blog called Shoot To Cook: A Food and Photography Blog. On the blog I try new recipes and attempt to master old favorites. I cook, I bake, and I make pictures. Enjoy! Shoot to Cook: A Food and Photography […]
