Over the duration of the production period for this project, the theme changed many times. The original aim was for this to be a photoset merging sushi and women. Ideas then spilled into a ramen and sushi set. From there I wanted to make a cookbook. The cookbook aspect pushed me to work on a lot more than I originally planned, but with myself not being a chef made the non editing aspects kind of difficult. Over the two years of changing focus, I settled on just a food book.

The basic concept of this shoot here was simple. We wanted to get Princess Vivi shots based off the figurine.

On top of that, we wanted our yearly beach photos. Have to soak up the LA beach weather while we can. We were also showing some out of town friends what a beach looked like. They were coming in all the way from Singapore and apparently they don’t have too many beaches over there. So while shooting, they explored the Santa Monica Pier.
