Morning menus sell on texture: a fluffy biscuit still steaming from the oven, a slow syrup pour, a fresh cup of coffee. Kevin Marple photographs breakfast and brunch for restaurants, hotel dining rooms, cafes, and packaged food brands, with crisp, bright lighting that makes the first meal of the day look worth getting up for.

The work ranges from breakfast tacos and stacked sandwiches to bagels, pastry, and coffee service, for menus, packaging, advertising, and social. Short-form video, like butter melting into a warm biscuit, can be shot on the same production day as the stills.

Based in Dallas, shooting nationally. Let's talk about your morning menu.
