I wanted to share with you some images I captured of The Ivy, Dubai as part of a project I was working on. As a Dubai food photographer and food columnist, I have had great opportunity to work with some wonderful people who are part of great restaurant concepts.
Here we highlight the place and the people and how they work together to put memories on your plate. Let’s celebrate the unsung people behind the scenes. The line cook, the bartender, the food runner, the waiter, the maître d’hôtel, the steward, the architect, interior designer and the investors, the ones who put the hard cold cash in without the hope of returns for years. Do let us know what you think.


















You’ve captured the true essence of the heart of the restaurant, and the people who make it a reality! Their smiles show the true warmth and welcoming ambiance that no doubt helps with keeping their customers returning as regulars! Splendid photography!
Thank you ever so much for such a kind comment!

Fabulous photography, you have a great skill in capturing the essence and making it all come to life! They appear to put memories beyond the plate and from how you’ve captured it all, seem to provide a great dining experience.
Many thanks. I think the people are the lifeblood of the food & beverage and hospitality industries.
