For this shoot, I had the pleasure and honor to be able to spend a few hours getting to know the highly talented Elli Jafari, Director of Food & Beverage with The Dutch restaurant in South Beach.

For me it was great to get to see a different side of Elli, the playful side.  While I would be arranging the lights here and there, you would see Elli making silly faces at the camera, at her colleagues, and just overall having a good time.  These were special moments as Elli is usually in a more business-oriented state from all the responsibilities and 250 employees she oversees while running the operation.

All in all, this before & after just takes you a little deeper into one of the fun things about my job that I love to show off.  I thought this shoot with Elli was a perfect example of how editing can play a big part in enhancing a photo.

Buen provecho.
