Deckers, Abacus, Karoo & Prime

Recently I was hired by NM Ventures to shoot their family of restaurants, including Deckers, Prime, Abacus and newly opened tapas restaurant at Camana Bay, Karoo. They needed fresh images for their marketing materials, and I guess because I frequent all of these great establishments on a regular basis, I was forefront in their minds when they went in search of a photographer :)

I'd recommend all of these restaurants.  Deckers appeals to a mixed bunch; from dive instructors to attorneys to on-island vacationers, it's a melting pot at the bar where you can rely on some good unpretentious conversation. Abacus is a great spot for a romantic meal. As a photographer, I appreciate the attention that was put into lighting the restaurant, especially the orange glowing wave wall in in the dining room. Karoo, their newest place, is a perfect spot for happy hour - it's situated right on the water in Camana Bay and serves a variety of small plates - perfect pre-dinner appies. Prime is a Brazilian Steakhouse, where a huge array of sides are served buffet style, and the chefs bring skewered meat to your table and carve it right on to your plate. Bring an appetite, the food is amazing and it's hard not to gorge yourself trying to sample a bit of everything.

A big thanks to Mel at MT Design, the guru behind NM Ventures' marketing, for recommending me for the shoot.
