A Tahoe Food Photographer Captures Culinary Delights for The Infatuation

By LCLindley|July 31st, 2023|Commercial Photography, Food, Tahoe|

As a Reno Tahoe food photographer and commercial photographer, I sometimes get lucky and get to combine my passion for photography and my job with my love for food! Recently, I was hired to photograph a number of Lake Tahoe restaurants for The Infatuation, a restaurant review and recommendation site that focuses on discovering the best dining experiences in various cities. To be honest, prior to being hired, I hadn't ever heard of The Infatuation, but I can say with certainty I'm going to be using them as a resource when I travel in the future! I'm excited to share with you some of the work I captured for The Infatuation at some of my favorite Tahoe eateries (and a handful of new ones!) for their article on The 19 Best Restaurants Near Lake Tahoe.

MidTown Reno is a membership-based organization that promotes the cultural diverseness of this artistic district while aiming to keep its neighborhood feel and local vibe.

The brains behind the marketing over at MidTown District came up with a solution to their problem - they decided to utilize high-quality still photos as the foundation of their video content. Cue ME.
